Wonder Workshop has started their first Wonder League Robotics Competition and the Minions are all over it! Teams from around the USA and their Dash and Dot robots are ready for action.

They will meet the artists who create the Minions at Illumination Entertainment, learn from EA game makers, present to engineers at Google, tour Universal Studios and more.
