What is the time schedule for the tournament season?
Teams can form anytime before the end of September. Spring is a good time to form a team. Some teams choose to meet earlier than the fall to begin learning basic skills and having fun experimenting with their robot. The actual FLL registration begins in May and ends in September. Most teams begin to meet when school starts. The FLL tournament challenge is released in mid-September. The team sets a schedule of weekly or bi-weekly meetings to work on their robot design, programming and research presentation. We expect to have 15 or more tournaments all around Oregon including Corvallis, La Grande, Klamath Falls, and Roseburg as well as several in the greater Portland area. About 20% of the teams from the local tournaments will be invited to the state tournament held in January.
