2013-2014
Annual FLL Scrimmage
Right before the FLL Regional Qualifiers in Wisconsin, we held a scrimmage for teams of our area to practice the different components of FLL.
We judged the teams on four areas:
Teamwork
Presentation
Design/Software
Robot Games
To prepare the teams, we made the scrimmage extremely similar to the competition. We had pit areas and judges walking around from time to time. In another area, we had the robot games; the students competed against other teams at the camp to see how well they could do. Prizes were awarded to the top teams in each judged area. Overall, the kids had a blast!
Annual FLL Camp
During the 2012-2013 FLL Season, our team won Third Place at the Wisconsin State FLL Tournament. To share our experience with other FLL teams, we developed a camp that aids new and existing FLL teams in the Fox Cities area. These teams included children from fifth through eighth grade.
The kids were given a standard NXT Lego kit and were required to build a robot in accordance to a challenge created by our team. Members of our team aided with programming and gave helpful tips that help earn points in competitions.
To simulate FLL competitions, we created additional stations, including, teamwork, robot design, and software design.
Team members volunteered to judge and evaluate each team. All of the teams were given a score for each category based on their performance in each station.
The winning team for each station received an award, including the Teamwork Award, Robot Game Award, Robot Design Award, and Champions Award.
