Udder Chaos
2026 Wisconsin FLL Post-Season Invitational
2026 Wisconsin FLL Post-Season Invitational
FIRST is the world’s leading youth robotics community, delivering hands-on STEM learning that inspires innovation, builds confidence, and prepares kids for life. Across the globe, students thrive in our programs — powered by mentorship, teamwork, creativity, and engineering challenges.
This year, the FIRST Lego League Challenge theme is UNEARTHED. This post-season competition will build on that robotics game challenge and infuse Wisconsin-centric chaos for a truly memorable event. In addition, teams will compete for the FIRST WI FLL Ambassador award - showcasing a team who truly embodies the core values of FIRST robotics.
To get here, use the address 3305 Lilly Rd, Brookfield, WI 53005. This will bring you to the east side of the building. We recommend you enter the facility on the North side of the building. We are running a FRC State event concurrently whose teams will enter on the other sides of the building.
Parking is available on site. Overflow parking is at Brookfield Christian School or Burleigh Elementary. No permit is required for this event. Please only park in lined spots, and do not park in spaces marked for specific uses. There will be a shuttle for remote parking the day of the event.
Upon arrival, check in at our Udderly Chaotic Check-In table, then proceed to your pit table. Our volunteers can help with any questions you have.
Restrooms on the first floor of the school.
A quiet room will be provided, although it will not be monitored. Children must be accompanied by a team adult when in the space.
Food is available at the event - at concessions across from the FRC state competition, from food trucks, or you are welcome to bring your own (must be stored under pit table if stored in the building). There is seating in the cafeteria.
NO FOOD IS ALLOWED IN THE UDDER CHAOS COMPETITION AREAS!
Registration is $100 (USD) per team. Registration is closed. Final payment is due March 15, 2026. This includes:
Four official robot matches (with plenty of practice opportunities)
A 5-minute Wisconsin Ambassador judging session
Up to 10 participation medallions per team
As much chaos as you can handle!
The match and judging schedule will be published at least one week before the event.
Teams will be identified by their official FIRST team # to identify them in schedules, pit maps, etc.
A dedicated Practice Area will be available for all teams from Saturday 10 AM - 4PM. This is first-come, first-serve. Lighting in this area is unlikely to be the same as on the competition fields, so teams should plan accordingly with any sensors that need specific lighting.
Participants may follow age range for their set country. As of January 1, 2025, team members must fall within the range of
For US/Canada: 9-14

See Robot Game Rules on "The Competition" Page
Each team will receive 4 qualifying matches on Saturday.
At the end of these matches, the team’s lowest score will be dropped and the addition of their 3 highest scores will determine their Robot Performance Score! Teams will be ranked 1 to 16 based on that score.
There is also an award for Most Consistent, which is the lowest standard deviation of those 3 top scores (teams must have an average score >200 to be eligable - we included the udder-ly awesome math below for your enjoyment)
Teams can apply to be chosen as the FIRST WI FLL Ambassador!.
What does a FIRST Ambassador do?: Ambassador Teams help spread the FIRST ® word and grow the program, which in and of itself is an accomplishment. Ambassador teams share their knowledge and experience by mentoring teams who need assistance. This could involve attending other teams’ meetings, talking with them over social media or digital communication methods, and/or any support a team could provide. The team that embodies the FIRST spirit this season and is willing to be a bridge for other teams entering the program will be recognized state-wide as the FIRST ambassador.
