What kid doesn't love playing with Legos? Well, some local kids step it up a notch and create Lego Robots. They will be competing in the 4th Annual Lego League Competition tomorrow night, sponsored by The Montclair Society of Engineers.
12 teams from Montclair, Livingston, Verona, and the surrounding areas, including two veteran teams from Renaissance Middle School (Yo-Botics and T.O.R.N. -- Technological Organization of Renaissance Nerds) and one from Glenfield Middle School (G-force), will compete. Winners will go to the State Tournament, in Mt. Olive on Saturday December 12th.

Good luck G-force!
Even in my advanced years there's not too many things I find more fun than building with lego. There is currently a half-built star fighter in the lego box that the kids know not to mess with.
It's Lego, never Legos!
I helped out at that competition(Union Congregational Church, 12/4) and boy was it close! In the end The Landrias, the top competitors, actually lost to some new team called Yo-botics! (Robot wise, at least)
I probably shouldn't be saying this, but, Go
Yo-Botics!
