 | 18 FIRST LEGO League Teams came together October 1st to practice for the FLL (FIRST LEGO Leauge) Qualifying Tournament in November. FLL is part of FIRST, For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology. FIRST is trying to help inspire kids grades K-12 to love science and technology and seek jobs in these high paying fields of work. |
FLL is part of FIRST making up the 4th-8th grade range of their 4 Robotics Programs.
Each year FLL comes out with a different Theme for the 4x8 board the teams will run their robot on. This years theme is "Trash Trek", which is all about what happens to items when we are done with them?

 | Some of the missions this year were, Demolishing a building to recycle materials, composting food items, installing a engine into a car to fix it and reuse it, save animals by getting plastic bags out of their habitat, and using methane to power factories and buildings. |
| The Teams got to run their robots on the table for two 2 1/2 min rounds in which they would try to score as many points with their robot as they could. Robots had to be pre-programmed and would run based off of their programs downloaded into them. To the right you will see the final scores. (See the PDF Below as well) |  |
This is only the halfway point right now. The ETHOS Sci Center Qualifying Tournament will be Nov 21st at Elkhart Memorial H.S. and will be open and free to the public to come and watch 36 teams compete to try to claim a seat as a top team and advance onto the State Championship in December hosted down in Fort Wayne at IPFW.
