YouTube

We like to share fun and useful ideas to solve FIRST LEGO League missions in our YouTube videos.  We test a lot of different robot designs, programs, and strategies, and when we learn something interesting we share it so other teams can learn too.  Some videos are about full mission runs, and others are about small tests that help improve reliability.  If you want to see what we're experimenting with each season, Subscribe to our YouTube Channel. If you have ideas for other things we should test, Contact Us.

MAX point videos

These videos show a creative strategy for solving all of the missions in the past FLL seasons.  These are not single shot videos that show changeouts.  We also know that not every mission shown is 100% reliable, and sometimes simpler strategies work better.  A lot of times we choose to trim a few things off for our actual runs in tournaments to increase our expected points.  Our goal with these videos is to share new ideas and show different ways teams might think about solving FLL missions, especially when trying to innovate.  

Robot Olympics (EV3 vs Spike Prime)

These videos compare LEGO EV3 and SPIKE Prime robots using tests that are similar to real FIRST LEGO League situations.  We ran challenges like driving accuracy, speed, and motor power with an attachment to see how each system performs.  The goal was to help our team decide which version to use for FLL.  If you are also trying to decide, these videos might help you understand the differences between EV3 and SPIKE Prime when building and programming FLL robots. 

Tips and Tricks

These videos show the results of specific tests that we ran to see if it would improve our robot in FIRST Lego League.  Sometimes the results help a lot, and sometimes they don’t, but we share both. These tests are about things like consistency, accuracy, attachments, and programming choices that come up often in FLL. If you like learning from experiments instead of guesses, these videos are for you. 

Robot Rampage through the years

These videos show pictures and clips of our team over the years.  It is similar to our Team History page.
