The FIRST LEGO League World Festival kicked off yesterday at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. At the opening ceremonies teams wore party hats as they celebrated the ten-year anniversary of FLL. Yesterday’s events also included judging and practice rounds, and an anniversary party in Centennial Park. Today the robots take to the playing filed to see who will be champion!

The MINDSTORMS Team as well as many members of the MCP were at the MINDSTORMS booth sharing their NXT creations and knowledge. Visitors to the booth got a chance to interact with NXT robots including Chris Anderson’s LEGO Autopilot, Chris Smith’s NXT Hoop Rover, and Gus Jansson and David Schilling’s NXT Helicopter. Also on hand were the original members of the MUP (MINDSTORMS User Panel) who helped develop the NXT.

This year also marks the 10th anniversary of LEGO MINDSTORMS, and to celebrate, two Alpha Rex World Travelers are going on a Global Roadrip. FLL Teams can sign up to possibly host an Alpha Rex on his travels.
