Not sure if this will help anyone else, but we found some of the "missing 
pieces" as "extras" in another bag.  I'm so sorry for everyone's frustration 
with this.  In all the years we've been involved, I don't think this has 
ever been a problem!!

Best of luck to all teams!!

I have not been able to find the circled piece. Any ideas. I look through 
all my parts from previous years already.







Thanks,

Well I shouldn’t be surprised but the response to my offer has been 
overwhelming.  So rather than me just picking someone here’s how I would 
like to proceed:



I have more than enough LEGOs for one team, probably enough for 3 or 4, but 
I don’t have the time to sort through them and divvy them up.  I would 
like someone who is a first time coach to volunteer their team to adopt all 
of these LEGOs on the condition that they “share the wealth”.  Your team 
will have to identify what parts they reasonable need and then make the 
balance available to other teams by packaging them and contacting the teams 
directly.  I will be happy to provide a list of interested parties who 
responded to my first email.  One other condition: you must come to Ashburn 
to pick these up!  (empty out your trunk first!)



This will be a great exercise for your team in Gracious Professionalism!



With that as my revised offer, if you’re willing to take this on please 
contact me off list.



Thanks and good luck to all of your teams!



Glenn

I have a rather large collection of LEGOs that I would be happy to donate to 
a team that’s looking to build up a collection of parts for their robotic 
endeavors.  I was an FLL coach for several years when my son was younger and 
began accumulating a large collection of parts back then. The collection has 
grown over the years and It now fills 4 ZAG cases, plus multiple small parts 
bins along with a number of small containers of common blocks and plates.  I 
also have some Mindstorms gear though it’s mostly RCX/NXT vintage, but may 
be usable.  Everything is sorted by part type.  There is a wide variety of 
parts including many Technic pieces and special items.  Everything is 
genuine LEGO and therefore eligible for use on your robot.



The catch is I’m looking for someone to take the whole batch.    If 
there’s more than you need you might be able to sell parts on eBay to 
raise team funds.  I need to free up the room in our basement and it’s 
time to move on!



I’m in Northern VA (Ashburn).  Feel free to contact me off list if 
interested



Thanks.



Glenn
