I have questions about this year’s challenge – where do I go?

• Each year, there is an official challenge description page  [information is valid after the season kickoff]
• Each year, this is an official Q&A blog page. [information is valid after the season kickoff]
• For official answers not in the rules, missions or Q&A, contact FIRST.
• If your question is specific to Northern California, contact the tournament partner, Playing At Learning.

 

How do I find out the details about this year’s (or any of the past years) challenge?

• All past FLL challenge details are available on the FIRST website.
• Note that the current year’s challenge details are announced in mid-September at Kickoff.

 

I heard that there are a lot of rules – where is this information?

• The 2009 Smart Move FLL rules have not been published – in general, some rules have changed each year in some way but most of the rules stay intact.
• The current year’s challenge details (including the rules) are announced in mid-September.
• Clarifications to missions and rules are posted in the Q&A game blog
• To get an idea of the what the missions/rules are about, check out the 2008 Climate Connections description

 

Can we bring more than 3 motors or 2 controllers (RCX / NXT) to the competition “robot game” area?

No. Please carefully read your FLL Coaches’ Handbook, the challenge details, the FLL Rules and the Q&A section

You are allowed to bring as many items as you want to the competition itself – but keep these extra parts in your team pit area
