Livingston Robotics Club teams will be seen on Livingston Television on November 15, 2009.

Livingston Television (LTV) will produce its second annual LIVE telecast, “A Celebration of Livingston,” on Sunday, November 15 from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm at the Senior/Community Center and will air LIVE. Livingston Robotics Club (LRC) has been invited to be interviewed during this live broadcast. Representing our Club for this event will be our youngest teams, the Spongebots and r2d2.

Spongebots is the only Junior FIRST LEGO League (Jr.FLL) team in LRC, consists of three kindergarteners and three first graders from Harrison School. The team has been working on demonstrating how a computer and a cat would move from one place to another, and they build models and write robotics programs using the LEGO WeDo robotics platform.

r2d2 is made up of six 4th grade boys, and it is coached by a group of team moms. The team has been working on “Walk 4 GREEN & B Fit” as their research project, and received extensive robotics training from Storming Robots Center. r2d2 will be providing a live demonstration of this year’s Smart Move robot missions.

The LTV broadcast can be seen on Comcast Channel 34 and Verizon Fios Channel 26, and will feature many other Livingston community members and organizations, with a live studio audience of Livingston residents.
