Mountain View Middle School students will compete in the FIRST Lego challenge on Saturday with robots they have been building.

FIRST is an acronym which means: For the Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology.
Teams have built robots out of Legos and will be judged in the two categories: robot design, and robot challenge. The robot challenge is a timed event in which teams attempt to score as many points as possible in two and a half minutes.
There will be 14 teams from Blackfoot, Idaho Falls and Pocatello competing this Saturday.
