Domo arigatou, Shawn!

As Holdfast Bricks, he arranged to bring a little more interactivity to the Acadia Robotics First LEGO® League & Robofest championship for 2025 with a large mosaic build. MariLUG members turned up to help coordinate, as well as to contribute some other display items besides.

All in all, it was a lot of fun and added even more excitement on top of the contests happening just around the corner!

On the Venn diagram of kids who love robotics and kids who love trains, there's a not insignificant overlap. So Sam brought a few!

There were a few other builds to see as well in our little area, where we did our part to make the First LEGO® League atmosphere just that much more fun.

Another year at Acadia Robotics First LEGO® League & Robofest.

Is that Optimus Prime? Technically, we suppose that counts as robotics!

Our small display gives the kids a little distraction between matches – and with their robot-building chops, we can learn a thing or two from them.
