FLL is a fun and wholesome way to learn LEGO innovative skills, fine motor and brainstorming skills, and major teamwork and core value skills while having tons of fun along the way. FLL has 4 sections: The Robot Game, the Innovation Project, Core Values, and Robot Design. You can learn more about these sections on the FLL challenge page. FLL has 4 tournaments. First, the regional competition, which brings around 16 teams to each tournament. Then, you progress to the States competition, which brings about 60 teams to average. After that, first place at State progresses to the Internationals competition, and 2nd and 3rd head to the Nationals competition.Â
As a team, we started by not really knowing each other and not knowing the fundamentals of coding and designing. But as we slowly progressed through the season, we began to trust and listen to each other and learn the basics of coding and overall design. One month into the season, we fully trusted and truly listened to each other, and we were getting the hang of the software and robot game.
