In September 2018, the Knob Noster School District and Stealth Panther Robotics Team launched an opportunity for students to compete in the FIRST® LEGO® League competitions
http://firstlegoleague.org.
We are looking for motivated and team-oriented students interested in taking their Robotics skills to the next level. FLL teams compete on three fronts:
1. Robot Game – design, build and program a robot to autonomously complete a series of missions around each year’s new theme. (

2. Project – identify a problem, research/develop an innovative solution, and create an entertaining presentation of your work
3. Core Values – demonstrate teamwork and the FLL Core Values (

The team will set their meeting time: up to two times each week. Additional meetings may be added as the season progresses.
The team will run as long as a team is in contention; November for the Regional Qualifier, or December for the State Championships.
Here are some things to keep in mind if you are considering applying to be on the FLL team for Knob Noster School District:
FLL’s Core Values (
http://firstlegoleague.org/mission/corevalues) stresses teamwork. You must be committed to work with others to find compromise and be able to give and receive positive/constructive feedback as your team develops their solutions – you must be a team player.
Your ability to work hard as part of team to complete whatever task needs to be addressed is essential – you must be flexible.
Regular attendance at team meetings is vital – you must be reliable. Some work outside of meeting hours will be required (research, preparation, competitions) – you must be committed.
Students do all the work at FLL, so you will be expected to multi-task and take on responsibilities outside of your comfort zone – you must be willing to grow. You will be representing your school at team competitions, so your behavior must be exemplary at all times – you must be mature.
