About First Lego League Robotics Challenge
Each FIRST LEGO LEAGUE (FLL) Challenge ahs three parts: the Robot Game, the Project, and the FLL Core Values. Teams of up to ten children, with at least one adult coach, participate in the Challenge by programming an autonomous robot to score points on a themed playing field (Robot Game), developing a solution to the problem they have identified (Project), all guided by FLL Core Values. Teams may then attend an official tournament. This year is the TRASH TREK Challenge, in which students are asked to consider the world’s trash for their project – how it is collected, sorted, reused, and recycled.
