LASA Robotics Complete Awards List

LASA Robotics Complete Awards List

LASA Robotics has a proud tradition of "bringing home the bacon" when we compete.  Of course competition is not just about winning - even in FIRST LEGO League you learn as a Core Value that, "What you learn is more important than what you win" - but winning is a lot of fun, too.  Here is a list of accolades we've compiled over the years, verified for accuracy whenever/wherever possible.
