CLEARFIELD -- For eighth-grader Carson Crook, building Lego creations is a means to an end.

"I want to be an aeronautical or computer engineer," he said. "(The FIRST Lego League) is experience with computers and building stuff."

Crook, a member of the FIRST Lego League (FIRST: For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) at North Davis Junior High School, participated in a clash of robot skills against teams from Wasatch and Hill Field elementary schools.

(Photo courtesy of the U.S. Air Force) Hill Air Force Base has temporarily closed its southwest gate so traffic has to use the East Gate (above) to enter and leave the base. Officials want to see if it would be viable to open the gate on a long-term or permanant basis, but nearby residents are worried about the increase in traffic, which officials say could be 2,000 to 4,000 vehicles a day. Currently, officials say, 500 to 600 vehicles are using the gate.
