The Patriot Engineering Team ' Tornado Tigers' group is preparing for the FIRST LEGO League Tournament competition, to be held this weekend on Saturday, December 7. The event is coordinated by the Perot Museum, and hosted by the Parish Episcopal School (4101 Sigma Rd, Dallas, Tx 75244).
Area teams will be competing in robotics, project, and core values categories. The top teams will advance to FLL Regional Competition, to be held in a Spring tournament at Hockaday. The Patriot Engineering Team enters the tournament as a rookie team, and hopes to learn from the experience. The 'Tornado Tigers' have prepared their robot, to attempt several missions during the event, while keeping the plan simple. For the project portion, the team has designed and constructed storm helmets. The 'Tornado Tiger' Storm Helmets are designed and fabricated to provide head protection during a storm. The team message will be to prepare for tornadoes, by including a helmet with emergency preparation kits at home.
