Congratulations to Team Robo Mania! A group of 6th graders from Clarksburg including Anya Naga, Vihaan Shah, Saanvi Pandrapragada, Om Pawar, Kyra Parikh, and Arjun Prakash formed a First Lego League team this year and won the Championship Award in the qualifier round.
On February 24, just a few months after the team started its robotics journey, they participated in the Maryland State First Lego League competition, where they faced off against more than 70 teams. Robo Mania won the ‘best robot design’ award and will now advance to nationals where they will represent the state of Maryland.
