What is FIRST, FLL and Jr.FLL?
FIRST is the national non-profit organization that each year develops the LEGO Robotics challenge, and the accompanying standardized playing field and set up for the competition. You must register at least one team with FIRST in order for your organization to have a team number and to purchase the challenge description, rules and playing field. This will also allow your registered team to travel to any of the FIRST sponsored competitions. The FIRST LEGO League (FLL) has expanded its reach from 2,000 children in 1998 to over 25,000 children across the United States and over 5,000 children from countries around the world. This is the organization that provides the challenge, the participation materials, and the tournament guidelines. The Junior FIRST LEGO League (Jr.FLL) is the division for children ages 6-9 years of age. We will host the 2008 Rocky Mountain Expo at Leawood Elementary School in Littleton April 25th.
