[FLL]: Kickoff

[Gamer930]

I have been involved with the Lego League in previous years helping out mentoring teams but never from the total start. My question is how does FIRST announce the Lego Challenges (Rules and Scoring)??
Do they just magically appear on the Lego Website at a random time of day??
Will they be put on the website in about 2.5 hours (Midnight)??
Thanks

Apparently, It's not midnight. I never really worried about it. I was always last to know when the game was out.

The 2004 No Limits Challenge will be accessible Wed. 9/15 noon EDT!

I don't know if we got the full animation. For us, it ends right after the girl (Nina? I'm not sure) Gives the password and walks into the FIRST Labs. Is there supposed to be more?

Yeah... I wish there was more with the "Nina" animation... but it was only a teaser. Check out the "Late for Lunch" story too.

This year's game looks very challenging; especially with reading the "Bus Signs" mission. I'm happy about the possible reseach and presentation topics; they are numerous.
Now NYCFIRST is preparing for our own official NYCFIRST FLL Kickoff on Oct. 2 to go over The No Limit Game and all of the rules with the local FLL teams.
FUN!
