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. 2009
