HI,
I was just wondering what this FLL thing was that you guys were
talking about? Thanks in advance.

It's a double acronym:  FLL stands for "FIRST LEGO League" and FIRST stands
for "For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology."

Incidentally, if you're attending MindFest™ this coming weekend, FIRST's
founder, Dean Kamen, will be part of a discussion panel at 10:00 am on
Saturday morning:

If FIRST's marketing brouhaha is any indication of its motivations and
ideals, then this panel may be a particularly interesting one to watch for
sparks.
