We GET the rules!
What a great meeting today to go over the challenge rules. I am impressed by the student's attendance and participation! Thanks to the parents for helping with that. Everyone seems genuinely interested in understanding what we need to know about the challenge before building our robot.
Very soon we will start into the technical stuff (designing, building, programming and testing)!
Let's build "BasicBot" on Thursday as a foundation for the team's ultimate creation.

Lego fun!
Another great meeting. It was good to see the students creatively work with our "raw materials", the Legos. Remember, we will quiz each other Tuesday on the Rules so please read those handbooks and check the FLL website.
