On December 14th the LigerBots hosted the First Lego League (FLL) East Massachusetts Championship at Newton North High School in Newton MA, using Lego robots built by students from grades 4 through 8th who are interested in robotics.

Besides the championship competition, the LigerBots also hosted a STEAM Expo event where many STEAM related activities were displayed to educate attendees. We also showed our 2022 competition robot alongside other robotics teams.

As the First Lego League is an important event in the STEAM world, many public figures and local businesses came to show their work to kids who might be interested in joining them in the future, giving workshops to spark their interests.

As the teams would get ready for the count down to begin, the field re-setters would recheck the arena before starting, making sure everything is in the right place. The referee would then give the okay, allowing the rest of the team to give a thumbs up signaling that they are ready to start their match.

As the judges decided on who the winning team was, the LigerBots held a raffle to win several LigerBots merch. As the judges decided who the championship winners were, teams who got awarded sportsmanship awards got called up and received a Lego trophy.

We are happy for all the winners of the FLL East MA Championship and teams who participated. Congrats to the Goofy Gyros for winning the FLL East MA Championship for the second year in a row!
