What childhood could be complete without Legos?
The legendary building block toys were part of a competition today in Rochester. It's the Lego League Robotics Competition at Edison Tech High School.
Eighth graders put their minds to the test by building robots made of Legos to help solve different challenges.
Organizers say it's a way to introduce students to science and engineering and have fun at the same time.
Jack Mottley, university of Rochester: "we have so many teams in the area, we can't handle them all in a single tournament. So we have qualifiers here, and about five others in the area are going on today. And the top 36 teams selected from these qualifiers will go to the championship at the University of Rochester."
That championship tournament is December 6th. For more information, just click on web links.
