Penang team clinches top prize at robotics competition


TWELVE students from different schools in Penang who teamed up and called themselves “Assassins Penang”, emerged as the overall champion of the First Lego League (FLL) Malaysia 2017 with their invention of a robotic virtual light barrier to prevent bird strikes from causing aviation accidents.

Inspired by an aviation movie titled Sully: The Untold Story Of The Miracle On The Hudson, the team used the Lego blocks to create a virtual light barrier to prevent birds from roaming around airports.
