Yep! FLL. Our family has been doing this for several years. It’s not easy to coach, but we have had some wonderful moments, and the kids really do grow in skills and confidence. Last year we won at the qualifying tournament and you would have thought we won the Olympics the way our team and the parents carried on. We’ll never forget it. (But we do hope to repeat it!)
Cool. Never done FLL. My son did FTC for 2 years and is on his 2nd year of FRC. I got sucked into the vortex of helping coach. We won Rookie All-Star for Chesapeake last year and got to go to World’s. What a rush.
As a side note, my brother has been a FRC mentor for years. (His first team only had two numbers) We’ve got a shot of my son at the age of 2 or 3 playing with one of the bots and now he’s on a team.
Our group has a couple FLL teams and lots of resources on the website. www.techbrick.com.
Good luck to your team.
