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.
Sept 11 meeting notes
- 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.
- Discussed team names. Nothing jumped out that was better than Hurricanes.
- Mission planning: We broke into pairs, working on these missions.
- A1: Rats and Thermometer
- A2: Timer and Corn Harvester
- J: Pollution reversal, Thermometer
- K: Timer, Groceries to Table
- R: Fish, Refrigeration truck
- W: Fish, Refrigeration truck
- Each pair presented their idea to the group.
Prepare for the Sept 18 meeting
- We need to get our parental consent forms submitted very soon, to reserve a spot at a local competition. Attached is a copy, or click here: http://www.playingatlearning.org/FLL/2011/2011_FLLConsentFormEnglish.pdf. I'll also bring some blank ones Sunday. Please read, sign, and leave with your coaches.
- Think of 2 excellent team names, and write them on a piece of paper. Then we'll vote on the name.
- Think about the food safety project. What is one food and problem you would like to see solved? Write it down.
- Bring your Lego NXT and a laptop. (Let's also remind the kids to try not to mix the kits/parts.)
