The FLL Challenge theme for 2002 was City Sights. FLL teams were tasked to compete in the Robot Game, as well complete a Research Assignment to design a solution using robotics technology to a problem faced by a City of their choice.
The challenge was released in September, 2002 with the bulk of Official State tournaments occuring in December. The season was concluded by the FLL Invitational (now known as the FLL World Festival) which was held in conjunction with the FIRST Championship event in April 2003.
Robot Game
The robot game is played on 8 foot x 4 foot board. It had models made out of Lego on it related to that year's theme. Examples included: Fixing a Bridge; Collecting and Distributing Food; Cleaning up a Soccer Field; Cleaning up Toxic Waste; etc. These were all missions that might need to be done to support a city environment. In the robot game, a robot designed by the team and built entirely from Lego Mindstorms kits and Lego pieces had to autonomously complete the missions on the board. Each mission had a specific point value.
The Project
The Research Assignment for City Sights asked teams to...
- Pick one of a selected number of Cities (or teams could choose their own city)
- Research that city to determine problems that city faces
- Design a solution using robotics technology to solve the problem
- Create a cool presentation and be prepared to present it to the judges at the tournament
