Lego Stormers are a group of kids who work with the LEGO Mindstorms robots to have fun while learning more about science and technology. They form teams to enter First Lego League and FIRST Tech Challenge robot
competitions during the fall and winter. In the spring and summer they
have fun learning about robots in everything from science fair projects to
summer camps. It's all part of the Victoria Robotics Club.
FIRST Lego League
(FLL) is an international program for kids from 9-14 years old. The kids build and program robots to complete challenges and do a research project all on the same theme. Our FLL teams enter the Vancouver Island Regional Tournament that is held in November each year.
FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) is for highschool age kids to create remote controlled robots using the LEGO Mindstorms intelligent brick and TETRIX parts. Four teams
compete on the same playing field with the teams form alliances for the tournament matches.
Off Season Activities
Robotics Camps
In the summer of 2007, we held our first Mayan Adventure to so the kids could improve their robot design and programming skills. They invited another group of kids who were planning on entering the FLL competition in the fall. All the kids had a great time. On each of the five days, all the teams had to build and
programmed a new robot to solve a challenge.
In 2009, Our FTC team hosted a series of Mayan Adventure Robotic Camps to introduce new kids to the fun of building and programming LEGO Mindstorms robots.
