Fruit Salad Robotics is a team of six 8th grade girls from Crystal Lake, IL that have done very well at local and state competitions, and have now been invited to compete at the Open European Championship in Pamplona, Spain, at the end of May.
Fruit Salad is one of only eight First Lego League teams out of over 14,000 in the United States and Canada that are invited to compete.
The girls are now turning to the community that they are going to represent to help them fund the trip. There are three upcoming fundraisers: Chipotle in Crystal Lake on April 9th from 5-9pm,
Nick's Pizza in Crystal Lake on April 17th from 4-10pm, and Fuddrucker's in Algonquin on April 22nd from 11am - 10pm.
Please be sure to mention Fruit Salad Robotics to support their efforts. The girls also have a Facebook page under the name "Fruit Salad Robotics Team " and donations can be made through the sponsor page of their website. http://clrobotics.org/fll/fruitsalad/index.html
