Having been a judge for several FLL events, I can honestly say that the FLL teams bring it. They know what they are talking about and they understand the value of FLL, including areas of programming, building robust robots that can compete on the field, team organization, and mentorship.

We have a student on our team who competed in FLL and through her FLL experiences, found out about LASA Robotics. From the time of middle school, she could not wait until she was high school age and could be a member of our team. She can be found in our team's programming/electrical room, working away.

Former FLL Student here. I found FRC through FLL and haven't stopped since. I honestly think that FLL is one of the best things to ever happen to me.

Personally judging in FLL is one of the most fun things I do as a mentor.

In short, I am going to second everything Jane said here.
