FIRST LEGO League
FIRST LEGO League (FLL) is a partnership between FIRST and the LEGO Company. FLL extends the concepts of FIRST to children aged 9 to 14.
Using LEGO bricks and other elements, the children design, build and program LEGO Mindstorms robots to solve themed challenges. These challenges expose them to technology, engineering and computer programming in the context of play.
The 2004 Challenge - No
Limits 
- 2004 Theme:
- In this year's challenge, FLL teams will find ways to help people with different levels of physical ability.
- Premise:
- The dream of a modern society is one of equal access for all. Society as a whole benefits when creativity, technology and open minds come together to help make that equality possible for all people, regardless of physical differences.
- Focus:
- Many people have difficulty moving or walking, or trouble reading a distant sign or climbing stairs. The 2004 FLL Challenge is to examine these seemingly simple tasks in a new light and explore how technology and human thought can work together to create equal access for all people.
- The Challenge:
- Each FLL team will build and program a robot that addresses the specific needs of people who face physical challenges in today's society. Teams will research and present robotics technology solutions to help individuals in their community perform the everyday actions that many people today take for granted.
