FLL Robotics

I just created a team for arobotics competition! It's for ages 9-14, using Lego Mindstorms. I did it last year as well, and it's great fun and a learning experience as well. Your team has to build a working robot (points given for architectural and program design), program the robot to do small "Missions", do a research project based on that year's theme, and you will also be graded on teamwork. I will be keeping a separate blog here to chronicle our team's endeavors. If you've never heard of this amazing competition, here is the official website: http://www.usfirst.org/what/fll/default.aspx?id=390
Last year our team was disorganized, but we still made it to state level. If we had won our state competition, we would have gotten an invitation to go to Copenhagen for the International Competition. I have high hopes for this year, so wish us luck!
