Eighth-grader Jacob Lowenherz and seventh-grader Giles Lemmon of the Friends Seminary Middle School Robotics team finished fourth out of forty teams in the Research Presentation Category at the Manhattan First Lego League Qualifying Competition on Sunday, January 16 held at The City College of New York. The fourth place finish qualifies Lowenherz and Lemmon for the NYC FLL Final in March at the Javits Center. For the competition, the students created a robot to compete on a predetermined field of obstacles, presented a research paper on "Nanobots that Fight Cancer" and gave a technical presentation on how their robot was designed and programmed. The Middle School Robotics team meets weekly and is led by technology integrator Tim Cooper. Tim also oversees the School's two Upper School Robotics teams, which recently hosted a competition for 15 NYC teams in the Friends gym.
