 Guide Basics
How to Use this Guide
The 12 sessions outlined give your team a guided
experience in FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge.
The sessions are designed to be flexible so that
teams of varying experiences can use the materials.
In general, plan for each session to last 90 minutes,
but each session can be adjusted to meet your own
implementation needs.
Working as a Team and in Groups
The team works together to create their robot and
design their Innovation Project solution. Teammates
should be encouraged to work with each other, listen
to each other, take turns, and share ideas. For most
sessions, the team is divided into two groups. The
goal is for all members on the team to have an equal
experience working on the robot and the project. 

Your role during each session is to lead the Available Resources

What Does the Team Need?
LEGO® Education Robot Set

LEGO Education SPIKE™ Prime LEGO MINDSTORMS® Education EV3

Core set Expansion set (required) Core set Expansion set (recommended)

Electronic Devices
Each team will need two compatible devices such as a laptop, tablet, or computer. Prior to starting Session 1,
you need to download the appropriate software (LEGO Education SPIKE or LEGO MINDSTORMS Education
EV3 Classroom) onto the hardware device. To view system requirements and download software, visit
LEGOeducation.com/downloads.

RePLAYSM Challenge Set

This challenge set comes in a box that contains
the mission models, challenge mat and some
miscellaneous pieces. The team should build
the models very carefully using the building
instructions. This is completed during Sessions 1-4:
firstlegoleague.org/missionmodelbuildinginstructions.

Competition Table
You might not be able to set up a table in your
classroom or meeting space. Even if you cannot
build the whole table, building just the four walls will
be useful. You can find out more, including how to
build the table, at firstinspires.org/resource-library/fll/
challenge/season.
It is also possible to use the mat on the floor.

Pre-Session Checkpoint

Make sure you have at least two devices per
team with Internet access and appropriate robot
programming software installed.
Unpack the robot set and sort the LEGO ®
elements into the trays.
Make sure the controller is charged or has
batteries in it.
Read over the Engineering Notebook and this
guide to gain an understanding of the materials.
Explore the FIRST® Core Values. These are the
essential foundation for your team.

CORE VALUES INNOVATION ROBOT

If the team talks over each
other, try using one of these
approaches:
• Appoint a leader who listens
to each idea, one person at a
time.
• Provide the team with one
item and only the person with
the item can talk.
PROJECT
• Designate a storage space for
the mission models built with
the Project Spark activities.
• Help the team to find suitable
websites and resources for
research on their project.
• Designate a storage space
for the built robot and robot
container.
• If you are using

you have access to robot

CORE VALUES
• Make sure the team not only knows each Core
Value but also can provide concrete examples

Coopertition® and Gracious Professionalism®.
INNOVATION PROJECT
• The team should be decisive about choosing
which idea to develop for their solution. They will
need plenty of time to iterate, improve, and build
a model or prototype of their idea. From Session
9 on, they should focus only on their solution.
The coach/teacher should split the team into
two new groups for the remaining sessions – the
Robot Group and the Innovation Project Group.
An equal split is recommended.
The coach/teacher should provide the judging
rubrics along with the sample judging questions.
ROBOT DESIGN
• The team should bring the robot, all the LEGO
attachments, and their computer or program
printouts to the Robot Design presentation.
• Remind the team to explain their mission strategy.
Why did they choose to tackle certain missions?

• Your whole team will meet with the judges in a single

where you are now. Think about what you have

• You will share about your team’s Innovation Project,

Core Values throughout your experience.
• During the Robot Game, two team members will

 Final Checkpoint

Prepare for Your Tournament!

Make sure your team has reviewed the rubrics
again. Remember, you can find these on the
FIRST® LEGO® League website or in the
tournament guide.
The main goal of an event is for the team to have
FUN and to feel that their work is valued.
Remind students that the event is also a learning
experience and the goal is not to be an expert
when they arrive.
Encourage them to engage with other teams and
students to share what they have learned and to
support each other.
Determine what type of event you’re attending
and who the organizer of your event is.
Check over the details and requirements for the
tournament you are attending. They can vary
depending on the type you plan to attend.
Have students on the team prepare a checklist
of materials that are needed to go to the event
and where they will be stored. 
Have the team assign one person in charge
of completing the checklist and ensuring
everything is packed for the event. Then,
double-check everything is ready yourself.
Review the time and location where you are
meeting for the event and how long the team
is expected to stay – share this with parents.
Encourage parents to attend if this is possible.

If you purchased a class or school pack, the

event will be your responsibility. Check out the
