Liz, this list isn't even close to being dominated by FLL stuff, so you have
to identify what you are talking about.  I am assuming from your signature
that you are talking about the FLL competition.

I don't think code would help you much -- you would have to know how the
robot is constructed to make any sense of it.

I recommend the various FLL resources on the web.  There are a number of
"coaching guides" that will help you.  I have one as well, though it is not
available on the web.  It definitely helps to have seen a competition run,
but don't worry if you haven't.  Making a robot that goes precisely where
you want it and comes back reliably has been the key to all FLL competitions
since the beginning.  Work on this, saving the "arm" or 3rd operation for
later, and you will do well.

Does anyone have their RIS code for last year's challenge posted
anywhere?

We are still teaching programming and thought this would really give us
a good example to teach by.  We are also looking for a video of last
year's competition and are willing to pay tape and shipping costs.

We are a first-year team approaching this year's challenge and have
never seen a competition, and hope to get some insight.  We have NO
competition experience.  I hope this question is not unorthodox,
forgive me if it is.

Or if you can point us to any sites that would have this type of
information.

Thanks!

Sorry, should have thought to specify this is for an FIRST LEGO League tournament. We are using the RIS software and not RoboLab, which is what I think this stuff is geared for. It is too late in the game for us to switch programming interfaces. I (...) (22 years ago, 4-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Liz, Check out (URL) which is the parent site for Minnesota FLL. There is a link to a quick time video that may be of some interest. Next you'll want to follow the link to FLL. There is a ton of useful information here. Tips on forming a team, (...) (22 years ago, 4-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics)
