Welcome to the First Lego League (FLL) robotics project, for 4H members aged 9-14. We were very proud to win 'Best Robot Design' in our first ever qualifying tournament. The project utilizes the current year's FLL competition as a mechanism to teach innovation, creativity, problem-solving, teamwork, and good sportsmanship...but mostly to learn and have a lot of fun.
This is the first year the FLL competition is based on the Lego Mindstorm NXT robotics kits, a significant upgrade from the RCX. We'd like to thank the angel, who prefers to remain anonymous, that has generously funded our project this year! FLL Values
 The Game consists of several mini-tasks, or Missions, for your autonomous robot. At the beginning of each two and a half minute round, your robot will always start from Base, but the Missions you choose to complete, and how and when you choose to complete them, are what make the Challenge an exercise in strategic thinking and planning. Check out the Game Questions & Answers (Q&A) Blog for official answers to your need-to-know questions. View the Missions .pdf file or download it from the FIRST site.
