FIRST LEGO League Challenge Season Specifics
From ORTOP Wiki
Introduction
Each year FIRST chooses a new theme and designs a robot challenge and innovation project around the theme. Each year FIRST creates a theme for the season. The overall theme for the four FIRST programs for the 2022-23 season is FIRST® IN SHOWSM. The theme for FIRST LEGO League Challenge is MASTERPIECESM.
The kick off for the 2023-24 season was held on August 1, 2023.
Each team will need a MASTERPIECE Challenge Set that should be ordered when the team is registered with FIRST for the season. The set includes a large MASTERPIECE vinyl mat and many bags of LEGO parts for building the mission elements for the robot game.
FIRST has provided a Resource Library containing challenge materials, rules, rubrics and more.
