The lessons above assume you have a 2x3 foot mat that is not associated with any of the regular FIRST LEGO League Challenge seasons. You can have this mat [[Printing the 2x3 Season-independent Mat|printed at a local office printing store]]. Because its small size you may want to use more than one of them to allow your team members to have more hands-on time.

2x3 foot mat with mission elements

One of the best ways for team members to learn how to program a LEGO robot is to have simple challenges with guidance on how they might solve those challenges. And, these challenges can performed on a 2x3 foot mat, allowing small groups or individuals to learn the skills they'll need for the annual challenge on the full-size mat. With this in mind, ORTOP has developed a set of simple lessons that feature such challenges that are backed up by short videos that give hints on how to solve the challenges.

Lesson Plans that Feature the Challenges

1. Building mission elements. Discuss main mission: Rescuing Yellow the Cat

2. Review of driving a robot and turning

3. Circles, degrees, gyro sensor

4. Designing, building, programming an attachment

5. Using a color sensor to control the start of a turn. Concepts: Light, color, light reflection, light sensor

6. Intermediate use of the gyro sensor. More on circles, degrees, gyro sensor

7. Line Following. Feedback, iteration, documenting

8. Measuring Distance. Degrees, converting linear dimensions to angular dimensions

9. Introduction to My Blocks

10. Introduction to Variables

11. More on Using My Blocks

12. Using Event Blocks To Do Two Things at Once

The lessons above assume you have a 2x3 foot mat that is not associated with any of the regular FIRST LEGO League Challenge seasons. You can have this mat printed at a local office printing store. Because its small size you may want to use more than one of them to allow your team members to have more hands-on time.

Most of the lessons assume that you build and place mission elements on the mat. These mission elements can be built from parts included in a LEGO Classic 11005 – Creative Fun kit.

If you have questions about these challenges or the associated lessons, please drop a note to fll-questions@ortop.org.
