Ecole Catholique Cathedrale First Lego League Blog

Welcome back, Comets!  This season we've got no time to waste, as the competition is two weeks earlier than last year.  It will be held November 22 at Duncan MacArthur Hall (Queen's West Campus).

We'll be using this blog to keep you informed about news, tips, progress, dates, and so on during the upcoming season.  Please check back regularly to make sure you get all the necessary information!

Remember that the First Lego League competition consists of three main parts: 1) core values, 2) the project, and 3) the game.  The core values define how we work together as a team, and how we interact with other teams.  The project is a team research effort in a specific area, with the team required to develop and share a solution to a particular problem.  The game involves the design of a robot to complete as many missions as possible on a specially designed board.

Most participants find the robot component the most fun, but remember that the overall score is based on all three components, with each counting for roughly one third.  Your robot could complete every mission in the game successfully and your team could still finish last overall if you don't do well on the project and don't demonstrate the core values.

To get up to speed quickly on the core values, the project and the game, please check out the videos below:
