From what I understand, FIRST Lego League is a lot like the main robotics comp, only on a much smaller and simpler scale. It's targetted at middle school age students. (When's Dean gonna get the elementary ones?)
The teams are given a game/challange, and must construct a fully autonomous robot from a Lego Mindstorms kit. Then they go to tournaments and compete. Apparently there's lots of small tournaments, and, since it's middle schoolers, teams don't really travel to far away ones. I don't think there's a national tournament. Anyways, you can hit the link on the USFIRST site to find out more.
Weird thing is, the competition is 8 weeks, starting in september. This is obviously something special Dean has planned. :^) I think he's gathered all the tournament winners and is busily getting them hooked on the big robots.....

Engineering is all about trade offs. You can design yor system to do A, B or C easily. Combining A abd C or A and B or B and C requires some effort. Combining A, B and C should be near impossible. - Mike Betts [more]
