What is First Lego League?  (FLL)

 

Sept 4 meeting notes

  • Went over all 15 missions, and some of the rules
  • Brainstormed team names
  • Selected "favorite" missions that we want to start with.
  • The TimeBots team is building a new board, so we can use their old board.
    • We will need someone to volunteer to store and transport the board.
  • Atmel will sponsor our teams if we use their name as part of our team name, and put their logo on our shirts.

 

Prepare for the Sept 11 meeting

  • Download this PDF:  http://firstlegoleague.org/sites/default/files/Challenge/FoodFactor/FLL2011_Complete_Challenge.pdf
    • Pages 2-5:  Food Safety Project
    • Pages 12-14: Missions  (15 of them, totaling 452 points, in 150 seconds (2 1/2 minutes))
  • For the food safety project:
    • Each Team Member―— Look around your kitchen.  Make a list of 5 foods you found and how each one is stored. Now, find out how you got each one. Did you grow it yourself? Did you bring it home from a market or store? Was it delivered to you? Did you pick it from an orchard or garden? Did a relative, neighbor, or friend give it to you? Think about how each one was protected
      from contamination. Think about how each one was protected from spoiling.
  • Think of 2 or 3 good team names.
    • We struggled to come up with anything new that people liked more than Hurricanes -- some ideas were, Electric Hurricanes, Lightning bolts, Brick Breakers, Zapping Eagles.  So see what pops into your head this week.
  • Mission planning:  Each team member pick 2 missions
    • A1: Rats and Thermometer
    • A2: Timer and Corn Harvester
    • J: Pollution reversal, Thermometr 
    • K: Timer, Groceries to Table
    • R:  Fish, Refrigeration truck
    • W: Fish, Refrigeration truck
  • Bring your robot and computer -- we'll want 3 or 4.

 

 

To Do

  • Brainstorm mission plans
  • Select a robot design
  • Work on programs and robot configurations/attachments for each mission (perhaps in pairs?)
  • Finish building sink
  • Build new NXT robot

 

Parent Helper ideas

  • T-shirt "project" -- get kids to agree on a design.  Create the design.  Get kids' sizes.  Have shirts made.
  • Science Report project: help kids get started, focus their efforts
    •  Report?  Skit?  Practice presentations
  • Rule expert & FAQ monitor
    • Help the kids absorb the 20 pages of missions and rules.  Check the website FAQ for rule clarifications. 
  • Build a 4x8' board  
    • (Joe volunteered, but we can also use last year's board!  The TimeBots team is building a new board.)
  • Store/Transport 4x8' board as needed
  • Snacks!
  • Transportation to November events
