FLL Hub
Welcome to our FTC Team's FLL Support Hub! After an incredible rookie year in FLL, where we earned awards, met amazing people, and gained invaluable experience in building products and presenting ideas, we are excited to pay it forward. Our journey from FLL to FTC taught us so much, and now we want to share that knowledge with new and experienced FLL teams alike. We’ve created a series of programs designed to help you succeed in your FLL journey—whether you need technical support, storytelling advice, team building tips, or tips for judging session. Explore our offerings below, and feel free to reach out if you’d like to get involved or have any questions. Together, we can build stronger, more innovative teams!

Mentorship Office Hours
Navigating the complexities of FLL can be overwhelming, especially for rookie teams. That’s why we’re offering FLL Mentorship Office Hours, where experienced FTC members will be available to answer your questions. Whether you’re stuck on a technical problem, unsure how to approach a particular aspect of your project, or just need advice on team organization, we’re here to help. You can book a 30-minute slot and get personalized guidance from our team.
Python Code Libraries
One of the biggest challenges for FLL teams is building reliable and reusable code so that the robot is consistent and reliable. To help out, we’re open-sourcing our Python codebase from last year, including common libraries we developed for sensors, motors, and efficient control systems. You can download our code for free, modify it, and use it for your own projects. We want to ensure every team, regardless of resources, can start with a solid foundation of code.

Presentation and Storytelling Tips
In FLL, how you present your project can be just as important as the project itself. We’ve learned that strong storytelling can make the difference between a good project and an award-winning one. That’s why we’ve put together a Presentation & Storytelling Tips workshop specifically for FLL teams. We’ll show you how to craft a compelling narrative, communicate your ideas clearly, and engage judges with your enthusiasm and creativity.
Innovation Project Tips and Tricks
Learn from the team that won the Washington State Award for Best Innovation in FLL 2024 what it takes to create an award winning innovation project. The Incredibots share their journey, learnings and tips on how they went about developing their innovation and feedback for teams looking to make an impact in this year's competition.
