Some of these students are attempting to get a team started at the local high school with support from ISU. As far as I know, they are in the process of getting funds for registration. However, I have not got a chance to talk with any of them in depth recently, so I am not 100% sure.
Hope this helped some,

I can elaborate a bit more on this. Iowa State is very heavily involved with FLL. In fact, we host the Iowa regional here at ISU. This last regional we had 42 FLL teams joining us here for the competition. We expect that number to increase next year. As far as a robotics team, we do not have a team from Ames at this time, but I am working to correct that, partially because I miss it so much and want to mentor a team. I am a former member of 525 and have several other teammates that are working with me to see if we can get a team started soon.
