The Monarch High School Regional Qualifying FLL Tourniment

You might be wondering what FLL is. FLL stands for FIRST Lego League. It is for young minds, in middle school. They have 10 weeks to build and program a full atonomous robot to do many tasks, ranging from easy to near impossible.

Every year, the Mo-Hi Shazbots host a regional qualifying tourniment. We have anywhere between fifteen and thirty teams come and participate for the chance to be the champions, and go on the the state qualifier a few weeks later.

The Smart Move Robot Game gives you first-hand experience in getting a sensor-equipped vehicle (your robot) to gain access to places and things, while avoiding or surviving impacts, all in a test environment…
Imagine if you could program a vehicle to take you places, or even go by itself… Imagine if each vehicle knew where all the other ones were… Imagine if vehicles could avoid each other and the things around them… Imagine if vehicles could be programmed to avoid causing or driving into traffic jams… Would traffic signals be needed any more? If these vehicles did hit each other… How might they be built to really keep passengers safe? How might they be built to avoid getting stuck or damaged? Have you noticed that most vehicles near where you live are only used part of the day? How might the number of vehicles in your area be reduced? What new technologies could sometimes eliminate your need to travel? Now in addition to imagining and wondering… Try some of this yourself!
