In response to Josh, We were doing an international robotics competition called FIRST LEGO League, part of which is a research project. That year's theme was climate change, and we chose flooding.

It doesnt matter where the storys told just as long as it is told...There are to many schools in the area to visit so i guess WSAZ has to hit and miss. Thanks WSAZ for the good work.
