Getting to meet them was one of the highlights of my trip.

I think FLL and FTC should remain with the FRC fields, on the dome floor. I watched some of the FLL robots in Atlanta this year, and I was impressed with their design and engineering principles applied.

Agreed. As more FLL students move into FTC and FRC, the programs will strengthen because of the skills, including communication skills, that the students bring with them. Also, we're seeing FLL mentors moving into FTC and FRC mentoring and that will continue. It's wonderful.

I learn so much from the FLL teams. Every year.
