Lawrence robotics team wins award – Eagle-Tribune

WINDHAM, N.H. The Lawrence High School Gearheadz robotics team won the Motorola-sponsored Quality Award at the Granite State District's FIRST robotics competition at Windham High School this past weekend.

Forty teams from across New England competed over two days at the competition. This year, teams were required to design and build robots over the course of six weeks that could fetch and deliver oversized gears, shoot balls and climb a rope.

The Gearheadz are not resting on their laurels. They have their second competition at Reading High School from March 18-19, said Art Rousmaniere, lead mentor for the team.
