The Tucker Valley Robotics team traveled to Huntington this weekend
for the Marshall University LEGO FLL NXT Robotics Kick-Off.
The team, along with seven other LEGO teams from the southern part of West Virginia,
participated in three table rounds of the robot tasks and
were able to present their nanotechnology medical solution.
The team's trip was sponsored by Gear-Up and 21st Century grants.
On December 9th, the Robotics team will go
to Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia
for the LEGO FIRST LEGO League 2006 Nano Quest  state competition.
