Unofficial FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Page 1 of 50 Unofficial FLL FAQ05-a - Unofficial FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Home Disclaimer: This FAQ is not an official FIRST document. It is an accumulation of knowledge derived from six thousand messages posted to the FLL forum over two seasons. It has been reviewed by numerous people, but may still contain errors. Use at your own risk. Specifics for previous challenged (Arctic Impact, City Sights, Mission Mars, No Limits) have been excluded. This information is outdated and will only confuse rookie teams that are not familiar with the previous challenges. The UFAQ has been updated with the new rules for the 2005 season. Attribution to questions and answers has not been given as it would needlessly clutter this document. Special thanks to the coaches that answered the lion’s share of questions posed by rookie coaches. Notably: Jack Gregory, Dave Kolberg, Team BOB, Peter Vogel, Skye Sweeney, Mark Beitz, Marie Hopper, Courtney Goeltzenleuchter, Jackie Keith, Catlin Gabel, and Ken Streeter. Special thanks to Steve Dakin for helping to automate these pages. He is responsible for the often requested "Printer friendly" page. Readers are encouraged to submit errors, suggested wording changes, new topics, or comments to Skye Sweeney at
