Raiders are Innovators!
The OLMC “Raider Fixin8tors” competed with 48 teams in the Northern Indiana State championship. Each of these teams had advanced through a qualifying tournament to reach the state-level competition. The Raiders received the
First Place Robot Performance Award
for a top scoring robot and the
Champion’s Award.
The Champion’s Award recognizes a team that “embodies the FIRST LEGO League experience, by fully embracing our Core Values while achieving excellence and innovation in both the Robot Game and Design, and the Innovation Project.
The OLMC Raiders were also honored as one of three Global Innovation Award finalists for the State of Indiana.
The
Champion’s Award sends the Raiders to the FLL World Championship in Detroit. Only two teams from the state of Indiana advance each year to compete in Worlds. In recent years winners at the Detroit competition have come from Lithuania, Japan and Pennsylvania. This will truly be a world stage for the Raiders.
