The SanLee Middle School Stallionss team took home the Championship Cup and the Best Overall plaque from the Central Carolina Community College Robotics Competition, held Nov. 20 at the college’s Lee County Campus.

Team members not pictured are David Perdrisat, Anthony Thompson and Devin Rudisill. The competition, co-sponsored by CCCC, Communities in Schools, and Lee County Schools, was a scrimmage in preparation for the FIRST Lego League Tournament and was conducted by FLL rules. West Lee and SanLee, in Sanford, and two teams from Anne Chestnutt Middle School, in Fayetteville, competed in the scrimmage and will compete in the official 2010 FLL Tournament. The scrimmage and tournament require teams of students to do a presentation on a biomedical problem and then build and program a Lego robot to perform various biomedical tasks, such as inserting a ‘stent’ in an ‘artery’ made of Legos.
