Robotics 2011-2012

Robotics is underway yet again. Actually, it has been underway for awhile now, but we have had a slow start here in Oscarville. Tiffany is coaching our first ever Jr.FLL (Junior First Lego Lego) team (elementary); their challenge this year is Snack Attack.

The FLL (First Lego League)team consists of the junior high students and this year they have The Food Factor Challenge. The high school FTC (First Tech Challenge)team's Challenge is called Bowled Over!

FLL has to build all the pieces for the challenge using legos. It is quite an undertaking! FLL has three major components to its competition: design, competition matches, a research project. This week I had a calling out for all students to come help build the components for the FLL challenge. The elementary students were especially helpful. They were great sorters and helpers and they were very patient builders. I was so engrossed in the process I forgot to take pictures. It is so good to be that involved and we all were. I have made a mental note to take pictures at our future practices.

Stayed tuned for more Robotics updates from Oscarville!!!

So can KWT and OSC have a Spring Mini-competition after the December competition?

I think it is a good idea; let's see how the season progresses.
