For a group of ninth graders with no previous experience in fll or coding (or lego for that matter) competing in fll, what would be a good result in the robot competition?
That's a great question! It's all about what your team would like to accomplish, for example, my first year of FLL my teams goal was to simply compete at a competition and have a completed robot that solved at least one mission. I think our robot scored only like 60 or 70 points at that tournament but we mainly were hoping to learn as much as we could. The next year, our goal was to advance to a "sectionals" tournament, which is one tournament past a qualifiers/regional tournament. We ended up making it to the state championships, mostly because of what we learned from the year before. I would recommend that your team spends like 15 or 20 minutes at your next meeting talking about what your team goals are, or what type of result you would like to work towards for when you go to competition. Picking 3 or 4 missions or trying to score 100-140 would be a great place to start or would be a good goal, grouping missions that can be solved with the same attachment is a great idea too. When you go to your competition, it's not about what kind of score you get on the robot table, it definitely helps though, but the judges are more interested in what you and your team learned, how you worked together and accomplished your goals, and also the design behind your robot. The robot game is 25% of your score at your competition. Hope this helps or answers your question.
@@Zachy42 Thank you a lot for the great advice! We have not had a team meeting discussing what we want to achive, but I will definetely bring it up next time!
@@albamckibbin7317 I think we are lucky then. We started in the right corner and have completed most missions around that area with mostly straight lines!

I would say in the 100s! Group the missions that have similar movements and focus on those first.

how did you do it already max score 410
my team did'nt quaify this year D :
cool helps lot
I'm glad the video was helpful!
Can you share the design of the attachment?
These are not my runs or robots, but you're welcome to go check out the original teams' videos.
isn't the max 410 points?
Yes, I think it's close to 410. 785 points is the total amount of points from all 3 of the runs that I analyzed in the video.
The max is 415
