About FIRST LEGO LEAGUE Challenge

The FIRST LEGO League Challenge is a robotics tournament for 9-14-year-old students. Teams collaborate to design, build, and program a robot and navigate the missions. Teams also participate in an innovation project to identify and propose a solution to a relevant real-world problem. Teams that qualify move on to regional-level competitions, and the successful ones advance to the State Championship.

There are four equally weighted parts of FIRST LEGO League Challenge: Core Values, Innovation Project, Robot Design, and Robot Game.

FIRST Core Values
The FIRST Core Values emphasize friendly sportsmanship, respect for the contributions of others, teamwork, learning, and community involvement, and are part of our commitment to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of unity.

Innovation Project
During UNEARTHED, teams are challenged to identify and research a problem faced by archaeologists and propose a solution. At tournaments, judges evaluate how the team used the engineering design process and Core Values in their work.

Robot Game
Using the robot they designed, teams race against the clock to complete as many missions as they can in each 2.5-minute match. The UNEARTHED game consists of 15 archaeology-inspired missions that test the team’s engineering skills.
