June 6th - We met with our mentor Prof. Carly Ross, as she prepared for her excavation trip to Alaska. She was impressed with the 4-wheel design of our robot, and urged to add the padding inside the container again, like we did in our lego prototype. 

June 5th - We presented to council member Jared Nieuwenhuis at the Bellevue City Hall. It was a very encouraging meeting, where he asked the team a lot of questions about our robot, this year's theme, and FLL. 

Feb 1st - We participated in the FLL State Finals at the Amazon Meeting Center, in Seattle! We recived the Judges Award. We are invited to the invitational round in South Korea! We will be representing Washington State at FLL Korea International, from the 550 teams in Washington State.

Jan 26 - We met with John Darrow, a senior principal engineer at Amazon. We persented to him and showed our robot. He gave us important information we need for our robot.

Thursday Jan 22 2026 - We hosted an outreach event at Rosa Parks Elementary school, and talked about what is FLL, and our innovation project and Robot design. We inspired at least 50 kids and parents by our presentation. 

Sunday Jan 18 2026 - We participated in the Washington State FLL Semi-Final tournament at Covington, and received the coveted Core Values Award, while ranking third on the robot game. We have advanced to the Washington State Finals on Feb 1 2026, at the Amazon Meeting Center.

Friday Jan 9 2026 - We hosted an outreach event at Jing Mei Elementary school's Robotics Club. We had about 50 kids there. We presented our Robot design and Robot game strategy, showed a full game run (video below), and inspired a lot of 3rd and 4th graders to try out different ideas for their mission runs. They had a lot of quesitons for us

Saturday Dec 13 2025 - we had a meeting with a scientist, Carly Ross. She is a Field Geologist at the Musuem of the Rockies in Montana. We talked to her about our innovation project, and she gave us feedback and ideas to improve it further. 

Thursday, Dec 11 2025 - We had a meeting with a scientist, Prof. Ben Marwick, Professor Archaeology at Department of Anthropology, University of Washington. He reviewed our Innovation Project and gave us good feedback on how to make it more useful for archeologists in the field.  

Sunday, Dec 7 2025 - We participated in the FLL Qualifier tournament at Tacoma. We received two awards - Champions Award, and Robot Peformance Finalist Award, and have advanced to Washington FLL Semi-finals in January. Yay!!

Meet the Team

Kiaan

I assisted the team with code and after completing the Salvage ops and mineshaft artifact. I created our 130 point run and passed the run to my team. In our innovation project, I tried to 3D print a ramp, but it did not come out so well.I also created a Teachable Machine basic AI to recognize types of artifacts, and then connected it to a Raspberry Pi chip camera and video display using MIT Scratch.

I learnt a lot more about coding, uses of points per second, and building.

Always look for inspiration everywhere. Ask for advice if you need help. Good Luck!!!

Arjun

I like coding new missions, and helping build our IP project. I love lego, and build creative lego shapes during breaks. I also love our break time when we play in the backyard! Its fun when we all work together

Chris

I coded a run for the missions Surface Brushing and Map Reveal. I also helped test our innovation project.

I learned that FLL is fun and that the consistency of runs is more important than the number of points it gets. 

I want to share that FLL is very fun and everyone should do it! I also want to share that when coding runs, you should make the code as efficient and quick as possible. 

Kyle :)

Kyle’s theory for robot game:

NP = P - dB

NP = Net worth of points

P = Total amount of points possible

dB = Amount of decibels your team emits during the robot game

Kavir

I bring passion and energy (& noise) to the team! I run our mission run 2, that scores 85 points consistently! I learnt that robotics is a lot of fun, and everyone should try it!
