They’ve won once, they’ve won twice, and now they’re back at it again with another win; qualifying for World Championships to be held in St. Louis, Missouri from April 27 through April 31. With this highly-anticipated event, the Robo Lions Team 1261 plan to end their season roaring louder than ever! Having pounced on competitors of the 41 best teams throughout the state of Georgia, Team 1261 was placed as the second-seed alliance captain, and made it through six rigorous playoff matches with alliance partners Team {{TBA|2415}}Westminster Wired Cats from Atlanta, Ga and {{TBA|4516}}Hyperion Robotics from Roswell, Ga. Awarded with the Innovation in Control award and being crowned the second-ranked team in all of Georgia, the Robo Lions are now on the road to making their voice heard at a worldwide competition! Because they are the only Gwinnett County team to qualify for Worlds and the first to win the prestigious Chairman’s Award at Albany, Ga, the team has proved that their roar isn’t all talk!
