FLL Resources

FIRST Lego League (FLL) every year has a challenge, this years Chanllenge is Senior Solutions.

I am assuming the following based on the 2011-2012 season.

The four componants of the event will be judged equally, and they are:

The Robot Game

• Robot operated by students only. No coaches or mentors!
• Complete as many missions as possible

The Project

• Research project relating to the issue of Senior Solutions
• Presentation can be a skit .. have fun!
• Students only, no coaches or mentors

Core Values

• How well do the kids interact? Was everyone included?
• May be done "on the fly" or as a seprate session

Robot Design

• Who built and programmed this thing?
• What strategies did they use?

Determine which missions to accomplish

• Based on what you can achieve, a few high value missions or many low value?

Determine the order of the missions

• Don't cluster too many missions in a program
• Leave the most complex for the end

Determine attachments to build and complete the missions

• Changing attachments requires skill and communication; takes time

Practice!

• learn all about it: how it works, what it is used for, why it is used, what improvements can be made, etc. The judges will want to know why you did what you did!
