2018-19 FLL Season Information
What is FLL?
FLL (FIRST LEGO LEAGUE) is a robotics program for students ages 9-14 which is intended to get students excited about science and technology while teaching them important life skills. Teams of up to 10 students program an autonomous robot to score points on a predetermined mat, do research and create an innovative solution to a problem as part of a Project, and are guided through everything they do by the FLL Core Values. These three elements - the Robot Game, Project, and FLL Core Values make up the yearly FLL Challenge. The challenge is released in August and teams will generally meet at least twice per week to prepare for a tournament which takes place in January. Teams often meet more than twice per week as the date of the tournament approaches. Students are also expected to do research/work on their own in support of their team’s efforts. What days teams meet will be based on the availability of their coaches and space to meet in. Teams do occasionally meet on weekends and/or during vacation periods at other locations and may have outings as part of their research.
This is an intensive program which takes significant time, especially during the tournament season. Since this is a team activity, students must be dedicated to working both independently and with the rest of their group and to participating throughout their time on the team in order to ensure the group’s greatest chances of success.
At the tournament teams are judged on their robot (mechanical design, programming and strategy), their project (research, innovative solution and presentation) and their “core values” (inspiration, teamwork and gracious professionalism) and also compete in a robot competition. Teams that do well enough at the tournament may advance to a state championship tournament that will be held in early March and teams that do well enough at that tournament may advance to national or international tournaments held from April through July. Students who are interested in applying to be on our FLL teams should contact us by email at ([email protected]).
