My team and I spent part of the summer compiling a FIRST LEGO League resource center. You will find resources covering team management, core values, robot design and project all organized by area at https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.startingpoints.com_fll&d=CwIFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=k6Oa5GxfBPFMgGjb2r5QIoEOeBZs9xbNIpA0kLw_kFQ&m=XBMiyTnPPas5FAZLaAUgg0IpYFyICbMBhqOlIL3-KVY&s=SsyIHunsXy9aYKU3f4POSyuIxc8j7291LoZwA7JGPHU&e= . We are just getting started, new resources are always being added each week. Make sure to sign up for the newsletter. The newsletter will be introducing a core values challenge and resources following a typical season timeline. This week’s newsletter covered mission planning, which is available at https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.startingpoints.com_fll&d=CwIFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=k6Oa5GxfBPFMgGjb2r5QIoEOeBZs9xbNIpA0kLw_kFQ&m=XBMiyTnPPas5FAZLaAUgg0IpYFyICbMBhqOlIL3-KVY&s=SsyIHunsXy9aYKU3f4POSyuIxc8j7291LoZwA7JGPHU&e= . These resources helped my teams go from rookies to champions. We are hopeful this will be helpful for rookie teams.
