This comes up every year.  The version of the program that is downloaded to the brick is a “compiled” version – the original source file stays on the computer.  It is possible to copy the file off the brick and copy it back to the brick (sort of a backup of the compiled file) but it is impossible to recreate the "source” version of the program from the compiled file.  I’m sorry.

We always advise teams to back up their program files onto a thumb drive after EVERY meeting, just in case.  Depending on how the file was deleted, you might be able to find it in the “recycle bin” or “trash can” folder.

Good luck!

Stuart

I hope someone can help me with this problem. One of my kids accidentally erased part of her program from the computer, but it is still on the robot. Can I download the program from the robot to the computer and if I can how do I do it?

Thanks,
Laurie Oder

  On my web site, http://www.masteringlegorobot.com/before-and-at-the-tournament, I've included sample robot design documentation that the Sea Monsters used to place first at the 2011 VA/DC FLL in robot design - mechanical.  I've also included the robot design documentation that Vector 67 took to the World Festival.

  As the regional tournaments are approaching, I also recommend checking out the section http://www.masteringlegorobot.com/putting-it-all-together.  This deals with how to put together the master program and how to train the team to perform like a machine at the table.  The master program is built using My Blocks, which are described in the section http://www.masteringlegorobot.com/robot-fundamentals.

  VA/DC FLL teams are NOT EXPECTED to have these documents at tournament.  


  Executive Summary for Robot Design is the same concept as a Programming & Design Document.  Some teams have a 1 to 3 pages of their program to show to judges; others have a binder full of information.  Core Values poster may have pictures of how a team displayed the FLL Core Values throughout the season.  Some teams take their Core Values poster to the Core Values judging session; most leave them at the PIT Area for display.  Both the Executive Summary for Robot Design Judging and Core Values Poster are OPTIONAL at VA/DC FLL tournaments.


  So...relax FLL teams and judges...these are NOT REQUIRED documents.  They are visual aids to display a team's accomplishments during the season.

    I also saw a reference to an "Executive Summary" to be presented at the Robot Design judging.  How well has this been advertised?  I think it's a great idea, but didn't know if teams were aware of it - and whether it is "required" at VADCFLL tournaments.

      The Core Values poster is marked as "optional", for the local organization
      to decide on. It's also *really badly* advertised. To the best of my
      knowledge, VADCFLL isn't using the CV poster. Don't take my understanding as
      canon, but if it's wrong, then a lot of teams are going to be scrambling at
      the last minute, which seems wrong to me.

      Heard it on the coaches call. Is is a requirement to make a Core Values
      poster and present it to the judges?
