RoboBacon has been a team for six years as of the 2018/19 season. We spent three years in First Lego League (FLL). We advanced to the state tournament in out second and third years, and in our final year we went to the Razorback Invitational in Arkansas. At the beginning of the 2016/17 season we decided to move into the First Tech Challenge (FTC).
FLL is a program for fourth to eighth graders. Every year a new themed challenge is released and teams come up with a problem and a unique solution to that problem. They must also build a robot that can complete field challenges specific to each year.
FTC is the next level First program for seventh and twelfth graders. Every year a new themed challenge is released. Teams are tasked with building a robot that can score as many points as possible on the challenge field.
