News:

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!!

About Us:

We all started our First Lego League journey in 2024 with season Submerged, as two teams competing. We were Team Robo Tigers and Team Touchdown Tigers.

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 Nick, who improved it. 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.

I want to share about the uses of math.Math is very useful for efficiency. Also always look for inspiration everywhere. Ask for advice if you need help. Good Luck!!!

Rachel

I coded a code to complete the Angler Artifacts, made a robot to solve extracting artifacts safely, presented our poster to my school principal, science teacher, a geologist, an archeologist, a scientist, and had fun!!! (And made a mud/cave wall :D)

I learned that to make a good innovation poster, you would have to understand the topic, and how your project works in order to present your poster!!!

I would like to share information about how to complete the Robot Game missions and how to make a great poster!!!

Nicholas

I coded my 130 point run and helped others for ideas and coding skills. I also worked on my part of the innovation project and helped my teammates out with robot design and innovation project.

Your max points subtracted by the number of decibels is your points for the run. I also learned that you simple attachments are more reliable.

I would like to share to others that you should focus on consistency and not just points. 

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
