FLL Robotics State Competition

At the recent state FLL Robotics Competition, in Fort Wayne, 3 out of 44 teams, include students from Discovery.  Loads of fun was had by all, as they demonstrated what they have learned throughout the season. This year, teams focused their research on trying to solve a problem facing an animal, proposing unique solutions.

Teams include: 

  • Flufflepuff (in pink) – 7 of their 9 team members from DMS. 

  • Fuzzy Wuzzy Disaster Busters – 2 of their 5 members from DMS. (Adam Poellabauer and Wilson Shrout)

  • Shark Squad (in blue, Team 5573) is made up entirely of 10 DMS students, from 6th -8th grade.

 

Two of the teams earned awards.

  • Flufflepuff (1920) won the TOSS award (Team Outreach Service and Sharing and Champions Award) and the Grand Champions (won the tournament and will go on to the World Festival, again)!

  • Fuzzy Wuzzy Disaster Busters won the Robot Strategy award. 

  • Team 5573 (Shark Squad) had some technical difficulties that held them back. The team is looking at possibly entering the spring invitational in Elkhart. They will lose 2 members next year (aging out), and are already thinking about ways that they can do better next year.
