FLL Tournament The FIRST LEGO League (FLL), considered the "little league" of the FIRST Robotics Competition, is the result of a partnership between FIRST and the LEGO Group. FLL extends the FIRST concept of inspiring and celebrating science and technology to children aged 9 through 14, using real-world context and hands-on experimentation. With the help of LEGO® MINDSTORMSTM Robotics Invention SystemTM technology, young participants can build a robot and compete in a friendly, FIRST-style robotics event specially designed for their age group. Using LEGO bricks and other elements such as sensors, motors, and gears, teams gain hands-on experience in engineering and computer programming principles as they construct and program their unique robot inventions. THE TOP BLOCKS UNH is proud to mentor FIRST LEGO League Team “The Top Blocks”. Our team of 5 girls were awarded the First Place Presentation Award at the local tournament and a Judge’s Award for Gracious Professionalism at the BAE Systems State FLL Competition.
