We are the Folsom GATOROBYTES - a neighborhood FIRST LEGO League (FLL) robotics team. We live in Folsom, a city near the Capital of California, Sacramento. Our team has 10 kids, 3 girls and 7 boys, from 4 different schools. Our grade-levels go from 5th grade to 9th grade. We primarily build robots and compete and as part of the competition, we also do a project. This year we focused on Water Conservation.
