The Quest For A Perfect Score In First Lego League

This book is written for all those new teams that join the FIRST Lego League (FLL) community every year and also for those who want to enhance their performance. It took our team a couple of years to learn the “tricks of the trade” to be able to build a fast and reliable robot that could obtain 400 points. For those unfamiliar with FLL, it is part of FIRST, a non-for-profit organization whose mission is to inspire children and high-school students to become scientists and engineers by promoting friendly robotics competitions. The interesting matter is that robotics is only a small portion of the competition. The competition takes a holistic approach that gives the opportunity to its young participants to talk with real scientist and engineers while researching an innovation project. Participants also practice inter-team dynamics such as teamwork, planning, design and communication along with marketing and promotion. In today’s global world, Technologists need to be able to communicate clearly and graciously within their team and outside their team. FIRST Lego League has become one of the best training grounds for this purpose. This book will take you through the critical stages that will allow the team to excel in the Robot Game of FIRST Lego League. We hope you enjoy the experience!
