A member of the DACA Age Group Water Polo Program since its inception in the fall of 2009, thirteen year old Lawrence Lim excels out of the pool, building award winning robots as part of the First Lego League (FLL). As he continues to succeed in the FLL, Lawrence has taken the time to share his experience. Thanks Lawrence! DACA Rocks!

My name is Lawrence Lim and I am a DACA Water Polo Player as well as a teammate of five others that participate in First Lego League (FLL) Robotics. FLL is a worldwide robotics program that focuses on the following four areas:

Core Values - Teams are evaluated on their teamwork.

Project Research - Tests solutions to common problems based on this year's topic of choice, "Food Factor."

Robot Design - Focuses on how well teams built and programmed their robot

Robot Performance - Robots are run through a set of tasks in order to score as many points as possible.

At our last tournament, which was November 19th, we scored 121 points and won two awards, the Core Values Award and the Robot Performance Award. We also advanced to the next tournament, and we hope to improve our robot and competition score.
