The Techno Talons and Falcon Brick Movers from Locust Valley Middle School’s sixth grade and Locust Valley Intermediate School, respectively, showcased their talents and creations during the FIRST Lego League competition held at Huntington High School on Feb. 5.
Both teams spent months designing and coding their robots to navigate a Lego field and complete tasks, such as picking up and pushing objects. Students also presented an innovation project with an elaborate skit and answered judges’ questions.
The competition was the first for many of the students. After watching the middle school’s seventh and eighth grade team and the high school team compete on Jan. 29, the Techno Talons and Falcon Brick Movers were eager to showcase their own team skills and technological savvy during the Feb. 5 event.
