Registration for the 2025-2026 Foothill ROBOTICS/ FLL League is now open!
About the FOOTHILL ROBOTICS TEAM
The Foothill Robotics Team (affiliated to First Lego League) was created to give our upper-classmen Dolphins an introduction to engineering design, creating innovative solutions to solving key practical issues and competitive robotics skills.
This year's program will be managed by Ram Parasuraman, two time parent coach in Lego Leagues.
All students in 4th and 5th grades are welcome to participate.
The theme for 2025-26 robotics season is inspired by archaeology. Will your child uncover the story that every artifact holds? Each tool, each innovation and each work of art connects us to the people and ideas that came before us. Using STEM skills and team work, our children will dig deeper into discoveries than our ages before.
Embody the core values of teamwork, discovery, inclusion, innovation, impact and fun to the following two core components of each team's contributions.
| Robot Design | Innovation |
|
• Identify - challenges to work on as a team • Design - collaborate on robot design to navigate challenges • Create - robot and chart its course to complete the missions • Iterate - improve upon and learn from failures to perfect the solution • Communicate - present the rationale for design and how the team iterated to improve it |
• Identify a practical problem related to the theme, archeology, research the problem and articulate it
• Design- an innovative solution to this problem, choose amongst multiple substitutes and alternatives
• Create a model or illustration of the solution that makes it come to life
• Iterate - improve upon the initial proposal or build on learnings
• Communicate - present the problem, its impact and innovative solution proposal as a team
