Update

So a far "Mindstorms Montage" has gone over the FLL challenges and split into two sub-teams that will compete with each other before the actual FLL match on Dec. 6th.

The two teams with be spurring each other on to create the best robots. There will then be a practice competition and the highest scoring robot or elements of both will be incorporated in the final entry.

If both robots are close in score there is the possibility of both robots being brought to the match as a different robot can be used in different matches.

The team has also begun doing research on the project "Climate Connections".

At this point basic robot chassis have been built and attachments started. We hope to start programming next week as well as continuing the project research.
