Can FIRST LEGO League teams transform the way we look at

transportation? The key to the 2009 "Smart Move" Challenge

is accessing people, places, goods and services in the safest,

most efficient way possible. In this journey, teams will

consider many modes of transportation beyond their daily

routine and streamline their options by making smart moves!

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR VOLUNTEERS! "Volunteers are not servants. Volunteers are partners working together for improving America's

future."

ROBOT MATCHES

Practice Rounds Schedule

Official Rounds Schedule

THE FOUR CATEGORIES OF FLL

COMPETITION

ROBOT PERFORMANCE (Robot Matches)-

Each team is given three opportunities to perform

on the official playing field which is officiated by

FLL referees. Two teams play simultaneously at the

double table, located in the Competition Area.

Rounds last 2 1/2 minutes as teams try to

complete as many of the Robot Missions as

possible. Teams will have the opportunity to make

robot and program modifications in “The Pit”

between rounds. Scores are not cumulative; The

highest score for each team will be counted

towards the Robot Performance Award. One

practice round in the morning will not be scored.

Special Note: The Elimination Round is just for fun!

Scores in the elimination round do NOT count

towards the robot performance award.

PROJECT PRESENTATION - FLL teams are

given an annual challenge that asks them to

identify an existing problem related to the climate

in their area and find an innovative solution to that

problem. Teams prepare a 5 minute creative

presentation to share their work and perform for a

panel of judges at the tournament. Their

performance is followed by a brief Q&A session

with the judges. Teams are assessed on how well

they demonstrate their solution and the research

behind it.

TEAMWORK INTERVIEW - Teamwork is

judged on a team’s ability to show partnership,

respect for their teammates and persistence while

tackling a challenge. Teams will be presented with

a task which they then have 5 minutes to

accomplish. This will be followed by a 5 minute

Q&A session about the strategies they used (then

and throughout the season) to work together to

achieve a common goal.

DESIGN JUDGING - Teams demonstrate their

understanding of robot design and programming

in an interview format. Questions asked cover

both the tournament day and the entire season.

**NOTE FOR SPECTATORS:

Judging Sessions (Research,

Teamwork & Technical) are NOT

open to the public.

Robot Missions

AVOID IMPACTS…

WARNING BEACONS - Warning

beacons need to be upright (square

to the mat).

Value: 10 points each.

ALSO: Warning beacons are the touch

penalty objects for the Smart Move

Robot Game. This means each time you touch

your vehicle while it’s completely out of Base, the

referee removes one upright beacon.

SENSOR WALLS (AVOIDANCE OPTION):

Sensor walls need to be

upright. Any four walls can

count. Only four walls can

count. Each upright sensor

wall also requires a “down”

access marker.

Value: 10 points each, max 40.

SURVIVE IMPACTS…

SENSOR WALLS (IMPACT OPTION): No (zero) sensor walls are upright.

Value: 40 points.

VEHICLE IMPACT TEST: The truck needs

to no longer touch the ramp’s red stopper

beam. If your entire vehicle is not

completely out of Base during this mission,

the referee removes two upright warning

beacons.

Value: 20 points.

SINGLE PASSENGER RESTRAINT TEST:

The crash-test figure needs to be aboard

your vehicle for the entire match. Any

constraint system is okay as long as the

figure can be separated quickly after the

match.

Value: 15 points.

MULTIPLE PASSENGER SAFETY TEST:

All four people are sitting or standing in or

on a transport device of your design, and

some portion of that object is in the round

target area.

Value: 10 points.

GAIN ACCESS TO PLACES

(choose one)Your vehicle needs

to be in one of these positions

exactly as the match ends (this

mission does not affect others):

TARGET SPOT - Parked with its

drive wheels or treads touching

the round target.

Value: 25 points.

YELLOW BRIDGE DECK -

Parked with its drive wheels or

treads touching your yellow bridge

decking, but not touching any red

decking or the mat.

Value: 20 points.

VEHICLE SHARING - Parked

with its drive wheels or treads

touching your red bridge decking,

but not touching the mat.

Value: 25 points.

GAIN ACCESS TO THINGS…

ACCESS MARKERS -

Access markers

need to be in their

“down” position.

Value: 25 points

each.

LOOPS - Loops

need to be in Base.

Value: 10 points

each.

BONUS: New technologies can

sometimes eliminate your need to

travel. They are hard to develop, but

each new one makes the next come

easier... If all three gray loops have

reached Base, you may take one red

loop into Base by hand. Independent

from that, if all three red loops have

reached Base, you may take one

loop of any color into Base by hand.
