I have been working with FLL students since 2003 and worked through some difficult games and some easy games. For the game it comes down to how accurate your robot is when it is counting rotations. I have made up a tip list for building a robot that will count more accurate and allow the students to have a better showing at a competition. I feel bad for the students that try hard and have no Idea what to do to make their robot better. When they work for weeks and can only score 20 or 30 points and other teams are scoring 300 and 400 points. Even some of the Adult leaders do not know what to do. If you link http://team1322.org/lego.htm and read some of the tips it may help you understand how to make the NXT very accurate. Using these tips this year we are able to obtain a perfect score almost every time. I am not saying that you will get a perfect score but you will have an easier time getting a higher score.
