FLL members listen to Team 342 team leader Hank Bennett as he shares FRC information at the FIRST Lego League Competition at Trident Technical College on January 31, 2009

Team 342 has an innovative way of generating interest in science and technology. Team 342 and the Bosch Charleston Apprentice Program have created a replica of the B-9 Robot from the 1960's television series, "Lost in Space". All of the internal components of B-9 are from a previous FIRST competition robot. The B-9 robot is used to excite and inspire elementary and middle school children to consider a career in science and technology.
