Team Delta won third place overall for their superb robot design, robot performance, research, and teamwork. The team scored 365 out of 400, higher than any previous Catlin Gabel Lego team. Congratulations to Team Delta and their coach, junior Rohan Jhunjhunwala. Team members are 7th graders Max Armstrong, Evan Chapman, Conner Hansen, and Elliot Lewis.

Another veteran 7th grade team, the Green Dragons, came home with a runner-up Champion's Award, just a notch below Team Delta. Their project on airplane air quality won raves from the judges. The Green Dragons include Maddy Bunnenberg-Ross, Claire Fitzgerald, Sophie Paek, Jillian Rix, and Chloe Smith. Junior Rohisha Adke coached the Green Dragons.

Sixth grade competitors Julian Baynes, MacGregor Beatty, and Jake Hansen, comprising Team Echo, won the 2nd place Research Award for their project on robotics bridge inspection. This is a tremendous achievement by a first-year team. Junior Henry Gordon coached them.
