Less searching.
More testing.
A small, useful collection for FLL teams: official materials, robot programming, local research, and tools for learning.

Official materials
Start here for the current challenge. Check your registered edition and use FIRST’s latest rules and updates.
- FIRST LEGO League overview
Understand the program, its editions, and how hands-on robotics and teamwork fit together.
- Game and season
The official season introduction, challenge videos, and routes to edition-specific materials.
- Season materials and building instructions
Find engineering notebooks, robot game rules, challenge updates, mission model instructions, and judging rubrics.
Programming and robot building
From first connection to a repeatable robot run. Match documentation to the firmware installed on your hub.
- Install Pybricks
Official hub setup, firmware installation, recovery, and connection troubleshooting.
- Create and run a program
Learn the editor, connect a hub, run and stop programs, and manage your files.
- Pybricks Code
The browser-based programming editor. Hardware connections require a compatible browser and hub.
- DriveBase reference
Look up straight drives, turns, dimensions, and gyro settings. The latest documentation may describe beta features.
- Pybricks projects
Browse one-set builds and coding projects for mechanisms and programs you can study and adapt.
Innovation research
Investigate before choosing a solution. These local habitat and environmental sources are starting points, not a team project assignment.
- Westford conservation resources
Town links to conservation organizations, local species information, and vernal-pool resources.
- Nashoba Brook
Town background on conserved land, habitats, and trail resources. Respect private land and posted access rules.
- Stormwater: sources and solutions
EPA explains how runoff carries pollutants and how green infrastructure can help.
- Bird–glass collision monitoring
A U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service toolkit for understanding and documenting bird–glass collisions. Plan any observation with an adult; do not handle wildlife.
Our tools
Use AI and simulation to support your thinking, not replace your judgment.
- Robot Coach
A Pybricks debugging workbench for exploring code and robot behavior. Hardware use needs a compatible setup.
- Workbench demo
An alternate public workbench entry. Currently opens the hardware interface; no-robot practice mode is not confirmed.
Turn a link into evidence.
Choose one source. Write down one fact it supports, one question it leaves open, and one observation or small test you can make next.
For field research, use safe public locations with adult guidance. Stay on permitted paths; do not collect specimens, touch wildlife, or install anything without permission.
A working link is not an endorsement of every claim. Check publication dates, distinguish observation from inference, and confirm season requirements with FIRST.
