News from our Team
So the boys have chosen a name we are officially RoboCreeps, Team #1903! They are working on logos and seem to be getting excited about things.
The designer of this years' Robot Game has made a video, explaining the game that the Team may want to watch a few times. CLICK HERE to view it.
The PDF file of the Robot Game and the Updates are at THIS SITE.
I told the kids today that they should probably be watching as many of the video as they can to get ideas - some of the videos can be found on the same page as the Designer's video... just click on PLAYLIST and they will appear on the right, and below the video.
THIS is the site we used to set up the mat the first time.
You can also Google FLL - Food Factor- or other related topics.
If you find something good, let me know and I will share it.
Til next week......

NEW SITES
At our next meeting we will put the mat together and start looking at strategy for each of the Missions.
This first site has PDF files of how the Robot Game works. If you know the rules, and how the game is supposed to work, it will help us design a more effective strategy. Look at the ROBOT GAME PDF and the SCORING SHEET PDF (this one tells how many points each Mission is worth).
GAME UPDATES game updates are VERY important. They clarify rules and set-up procedures. There have been 11 or 12 so far. We need to check these each Monday.
The next site you should check out is the PROJECT PAGE. This page is a guidebook on how to create and complete the Food Factor Project.
These sites are different videos from youtube:
THIS one is a walk through of the mat and what this team thinks will be the missions. (before the actual mission information was released)
THIS is a different Team setting up their field and doing a walk-through.
THIS video has some strategies to make your robot go in a straight line (if you are having problems with that)
Thease are just some random teams doing practice runs of last year's Robot Game:
