    Ridgefield Robotics is open to 8th grade students who are self-motivated to learn basic programming in order to control the actions of their robots and work together to accomplish missions. The FIRST LEGO LEAGUE limits team size to a maximum of 10 members, with a balance of programmers and researchers.
     
    Students embark on a journey of self-discovery.  They combine the engineering challenge of a robotics competition with real-world problem solving.  Members learn science and technology skills at the same time as well as valuable employment and life skills.  During the season, students will:
     
    • Build a LEGO MINDSTORMS robot and attachments
    • Program the robot to move on its own and perform missions
    • Learn about engineering and physics concepts (sometimes learning them the hard way)
    • Test different designs and make multiple adjustments
