The students who have a much easier time talking about different aspects of the team, are the FLL students.

That's just an observation on my part, not a criticism.

Second. Our team has former FLL students present our Chairmans as they have prior experience presenting to the judges.

That is one of the few aspects of FLL that beats out FRC. With the required presentation and research FLL'rs have the ability to explain the entire program than FRC'rs can. And some of that is from FLL team being so small that all of the students have been involved with all of the parts on the team. Come to think of it, I could tell you more about Ocean Odysey in 2005 than Lunacy 2009.

AHHH... now I miss FLL!
