WKU Engineering presents the 15th LEGO Robotics Competition on Saturday at Drakes Creek Middle School. Elementary and middle school teams must build autonomous robots from LEGO Mindstorm kits to accomplish two Star Wars themed tasks: (1) Cross hyperspace from a starting point to the finish as quickly as possible, staying on the safe path to avoid space debris and (2) Work with Rebels to battle the Empire around the Death Star to complete tasks and acquire points for your team.

The competition begins at 9am and the public is welcome to attend. For more information, please contact John Inman at 270-745-3048 or visit the website below.
