Local students build, code their own robots for FIRST LEGO League Challenge

Chants of “three, two, one…LEGO!” rang out repeatedly on Sunday in the Urbana High School gym, where 32 teams of students were participating in the Frederick County qualifier for the FIRST LEGO League Challenge. The FIRST LEGO League Challenge is an engineering competition for elementary and middle school students between the ages of 9 and 14. Each team has at least two adult coaches and can have anywhere from two to 10 members.
