In early January, our Middle School Robotics teams competed at the First Lego League (FLL) regional qualifier at Williams High School in Plano. Out of all thirty-six teams, the top ten teams advanced, and three major category awards were given. Team "Hockabots" won the Robot Design award. This award recognizes a team that designs a mechanically sound robot, uses outstanding programming principles, and utilizes a well-developed strategy to design and build an innovative, high performing robot. Team "Hocka ‘scuse me?" won the Core Values award. This award recognizes a team whose members show strong communication, effective problem solving, excellent time management, as well as extraordinary enthusiasm and spirit.

On January 20, "The Hockabots" and "Hocka ‘scuse me?" went to the Super-Qualifier in Grand Saline and competed among sixty other teams. They won awards again and advanced to the FLL North Texas Championship which was this past weekend. All sixty teams started in a pool of 500 teams
