  • Riya's Ramblings: Episode 12 - FIRST Lego League Robotics

    In this episode, I talk about FLL (FIRST Lego League), and my experience with robotics. I describe the FLL competition a little about my team - the Bethany Builders- and all the things I learned through my FLL experience.

    If your school has a team, I definitely recommend trying it out. If not, ask your principal to have one!

    FLL is so much more than the Robot Game, it teaches the values such as teamwork, discovery, and more!

    If you want to learn and explore EV3 coding, you can watch EV3 coding tutorials on YouTube, however you will need the EV3 Mindstorms software to code.

    You can find more details on the FIRST Lego League competition at http://www.FirstLegoLeague.org

    To know more listen and enjoy the Episode! :)

    I am going to start making a website soon, and post my robot's picture there! (I will post other pictures as well)

    Want to know more? Email me at [email protected], I would love to answer your questions!
