FLL@SUNYIT is competitive.

Teams of kids combine Lego structures, motors, sensors and processors with user-friendly software to design, build, and program autonomous robots.

Teams are composed of 3-10 kids and a coach; the team uses the LEGO Mindstorms system to construct the robot.

A tournament consists of:

* Project Presentations *Teamwork - Core Values - Judging

 *Technical Judging *Robot Game

Participants receive a medal.  Some trophies are also given.
