The FLL competition is an international competition for primary school students and junior high school students organized by FIRST in cooperation with the LEGO Group. Hundreds of thousands of students from all over the world participate every year.

Compared with VEX and other robot competitions, it has the following advantages:

• A more comprehensive education concept: FLL emphasizes not only robot programming and design, but also a comprehensive education in science, engineering, teamwork, and values. Through the research, innovation and problem-solving processes in the project, children gain a more comprehensive educational experience.
• Values education: FLL focuses on the cultivation of values and promotes positive values and good moral character. There is a “Core Values” evaluation criterion in the competition, which evaluates the cooperation, respect, fairness and other values displayed by the team during the competition.
• Easier to get started: FLL uses Lego bricks as the building platform for robots, which is simpler and easier to get started than other robot competitions. For beginners or younger children, such a low threshold can help reduce the difficulty of learning and enhance their willingness to participate.
• More focus on teamwork: FLL is a team game where children need to work together in a team to solve various challenges. This helps develop their teamwork, communication and leadership skills, as well as learning to respect the opinions and perspectives of others.
• More social significance: The FLL competition sets a socially relevant theme every year to encourage children to think about how to use classroom knowledge to solve social problems. While cultivating the ability to solve practical problems, it also cultivates children’s sense of social responsibility and citizenship.
