Welcome to the 2004 FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Season!

FLL teams will see NO LIMITS in 2004 as they are challenged to build and program a robot that addresses specific needs of individuals who face physical challenges in today's society. Teams will research and present robotics technology solutions to help members of the community perform the everyday actions that many people take for granted.

Registration is open now through September 30th or until all slots have been filled, whichever comes first. The maximum capacity is 4,250 teams. We encourage early registration and payment to ensure timely receipt of program materials (Robot sets and team manuals begin to ship in June, Field Set Up Kits begin to ship in August .) Please note that most new teams tend to register from mid-August to September 30th -if you place your order during this time period you may experience a slight delay in order processing.
