Welcome to the Intel OregonFIRST LEGO League 2013Championship
Welcome to the Intel Oregon FIRST LEGO League 2013 Championship.
The magic of FIRST LEGO League is created by our sponsors and the many hundreds of people including
tournament volunteers, coaches, mentors and parents. Thank you for supporting the teams and their members. Through your efforts they have the opportunity to learn about science, technology and engineering at the same time they learn how to work as members of creative teams. This year our young people investigated how engineering can help plan for and recover from natural disasters.
Congratulations to all of you and all of our teams for what we have learned and accomplished together. We
can look forward to the great things they will accomplish in the future using the new skills they develop through programs like FIRST LEGO League.

Volunteers
We wish to acknowledge and thank all of our ORTOP FLL Volunteers who made the 24 Qualifying Tournaments and these Championship Tournaments possible. We especially thank all of the coaches and mentors for the countless hours they have spent teaching, facilitating and encouraging students in the program.
Your contributions will continue to have a lasting impact on Oregon’s “engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs of tomorrow”.

Tournament Challenge
Can FIRST LEGO League teams help us master natural disasters? In the 2013 NATURE’S FURY Challenge, over 200,000 students from over 70 countries will explore the awe-inspiring storms, quakes, waves and more that we call natural disasters. Teams will discover what can be done when intense natural events meet the places people live, work, and play. Teams will also build, test and program an autonomous robot using a LEGO MINDSTORM® robot kit to solve a set of missions on the obstacle course. Throughout their experience, teams will operate under FLL’s signature set of Core Values. Brace yourself for NATURE’S FURY!
The Robot Game
In the Nature’s Fury Robot Game, teams face natural disaster issues related to preparing, being safe and rebuilding impacted communities. Robot missions in the FLL Challenge Robot missions in the FLL Challenge include landing a fire fighting plane, navigating over debris fields, reuniting people with pets and emergency supplies, testing buildings for potential earthquakes, removing fallen limbs from power lines, launching a tsunami and many more.
The Project
For the Nature’s Fury Challenge teams were asked to select a community that could
Nature’s Fury: Prepare. Be Safe. Rebuild.
be impacted by a natural disaster, and a specific natural disaster, identify a problem not yet solved related to their chosen natural disaster, and find an innovative solution to their problem. Finally, they shared their solution with others prior to the tournament. The team created a five minute presentation summarizing all that they’ve learned and presented this to a panel of judges today.
Table Competition
The table competition is the center-piece of the tournament competitions. Each team has three scheduled opportunities to run their robot through the Challenge. Each time, the robot will have a total of 2.5 minutes to complete as many missions of the Challenge as possible. The highest of the three point scores they achieve is counted towards the Robot Performance Award and the lower point scores are ignored.
Robot Design Judging
Team robots are assessed for mechanical design, programming, innovation and strategy. During a 10-minute session, a panel of judges interview team members for the Robot Design Award. The judges ask questions about the technical hurdles the team faced in their design, the robot they designed, and the programs they developed for the robot. Teams bring copies of their programs to the Robot Design interview as examples of their work.
Core Values Judging
During the Core Values judging, the teams will do a surprise teamwork activity and will make a 1-minute presentation of their FLL Core Values Poster outlining how their team embraced and implemented the FLL Core Values throughout the season. Judges will assess the team on their teamwork, their Gracious Professionalism™, and how well they exhibit enthusiasm and mutual respect for each other and others in the FLL community.
Project Judging
FLL is not just about building and competing with robots. FIRST encourages well-rounded teams because any successful engineering project requires a wide variety of skills. Through the project research, teams learn more about the science behind the Challenge theme and better understand the work of professionals in that field. A judging panel will hear each team’s five minute presentation based on the challenge Project. After the presentation, the judging panel interviews team members about details of their project to evaluate their work for research quality, innovative solution and creative presentation.

FIRST Tech Challengefor students in 7th – 12th Grade
The FIRST Tech Challenge program (FTC) is students in 7th – 12th grade.In the 2013/2014 season there are 178 Oregon FTC teams participating in the “Block Party” Challenge. You can watch FTC teams scrimmage in the Liberty High School 1st Floor Rotunda during today’s event. FTC takes kit engineering skills to a new level with the Tetrix or Matrix Robot Systems embellished by parts fabrication. Students expand programming skills to Robot C and LabVIEW. The Robot game includes teams in 2-team alliances competing in a fast paced autonomous and remote controlled game. Teams document their journey in an engineering notebook required for robot design judging. FLL Team members and the pubic are invited to watch the FTC Oregon Qualifying and Championship Events in January and February 2014. For more information about FTC in Oregon visit: www.ortop.org/ftc
The FIRST Robotics Competitionfor high school student
FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) is a unique varsity sport of the mind designed to help high-school-aged young people discover how interesting and rewarding the life of engineers and researchers can be.
The FIRST Robotics Competition challenges teams of young people and their mentors to solve a common problem in a six-week time frame using a standard “kit of parts” and a common set of rules. Teams build robots from the parts and enter them in competitions designed by Dean Kamen, Dr. Woodie Flowers, and a committee of engineers and other professionals.
FIRST redefines winning for these students because they are rewarded for excellence in design, demonstrated team spirit, gracious professionalism and maturity, and the ability to overcome obstacles. Scoring the most points is a secondary goal. Winning means building partnerships that last.
FLL Team members and the public are invited to watch the Oregon’s 42 FRC teams compete in “AERIAL ASSIST” at District events in Oregon and the Pacific NW Regional District Championship. For more information about FRC in Oregon visit: www.oregonfirst.org
FIRST College ScholarshipsFTC and FRC juniors and seniors are eligible for over $18 million in FIRST Scholarships offered by numerous universities. For more information about the FIRST Scholarship program visit: www.usfirst.org.

2014 FLL ChallengeWORLD CLASS: Learning Unleashed The Future of Learning
What is the future of learning? FIRST® LEGO® League teams will find the answers. In the 2014 FLL
WORLD CLASS Challenge, over 230,000 children ages 9 to 14 from over 70 countries will redesign
how we gather knowledge and skills in the 21st century. Teams will teach adults about the ways that kids
need and want to learn. Get ready for a whole new class – FLL WORLD CLASS!
FLL challenges kids to think like scientists and engineers. During the FLL WORLD CLASS season,
teams will build, test, and program an autonomous robot using LEGO
MINDSTORMS® to solve a set of missions in the Robot Game. They will also choose and solve a real-
world question in the Project. Throughout their experience, teams will operate under FLL’s signature set
of Core Values.
