Core Values
What core value means learning new things and exploring ideas?
Discovery
What part of the robot usually makes it move?
Motors
What is the main goal of the Innovation Project?
Solve a real-world problem
What is the main objective during robot game matches?
Score as many mission points as possible
What core value means all team members should feel welcomed and respected?
Inclusion
Which sensor is BEST for detecting black lines on the mat?
Color Sensor
Who should teams usually research when developing their project?
Experts and people affected by the problem
How long is an official FLL robot game match?
2 minutes 30 seconds
A team helps another team fix their robot before a match. Which core value are they showing the MOST?
Gracious Professionalism
Why do many teams use gears in their robot design?
To change speed or power
What makes a solution “innovative”?
It is creative or improves an existing idea
Why do many teams separate missions into multiple runs?
To improve reliability and organization
Your team disagrees on an attachment design, but everyone listens respectfully and combines ideas. Which TWO core values are being shown?
Teamwork and Inclusion
A robot turns slightly differently every run. What is the BEST way to improve consistency?
Use sensors and stronger structure
Why is feedback from experts important in the Innovation Project?
It helps improve and test ideas
If your robot completes difficult missions but fails simple ones often, what is usually the BEST strategy improvement?
Focus on consistency and reliable areas
During judging, a team member talks over everyone else and ignores another teammate’s ideas. Which core value is MOST clearly being violated?
Inclusion
Your robot keeps missing missions because attachments wobble during runs. What is the BEST engineering solution?
Add stronger bracing and reduce movement
A team creates a strong solution but never explains how it helps people or how it could realistically be used. What major part of the project is missing?
Real-world impact and implementation
Your team notices one mission gives fewer points but lines up perfectly with two nearby missions. Why might elite teams still include it in their strategy?
Combining missions can improve total efficiency and consistency
