FIRST LEGO League Students Engineer a Way to Move 100 Tons
 Posted on Thursday, September 16th, 2021 at 2:03pm by Andrew, BZPower News ManagerEarlier this week, The LEGO Group shared a press release announcing that Children from across the world joined forces to move the world's biggest hauler using only LEGO Technic elements and engineering ingenuity. Thirty-five students spread across the United States, Sweden, Japan, and Nigeria worked together with engineering mentors from The LEGO Group and Volvo to design a way to move a Volvo A60 Articulated Hauler loaded with 45 tons of rocks 50 meters using only LEGO pieces. The solution they came up with utilized 728,168 LEGO Technic Elements and 1,920 Control+ XL motors and, once built by LEGO Master Builders, took only thirty minutes to move the massive vehicle the required distance. This is truly an impressive achievement of both engineering and teamwork, and all the students should be proud of this amazing accomplishment!
