First Lego League

  This is an overhead view of the mission field, also known as the Robot Game.




First Lego League (FLL) is a organization about Legos and robotics where teams of kids compete in challenges.  You can learn more about it at http://www.firstlegoleague.org/Kids use Lego Mindstorm robots to complete missions on a challenge table.  There are three other things judges give you points                on.  One is called Core Values.  Here, your team is judged on your teamwork and other core values.  Another is technical judging.  In technical judging the judges judge you on the design of your robot and its efficiency at completing missions. The final rubric you'll be judged on is The Project.  Each year there is a new project. Last 
year the project was Body Forward, and this year it is Food Factor.  I'm on the Kung Food Fighters, a rookie team that made it to the second competition at Legoland.
