FLL Team #60911
Welcome to the official page of the Circuit Squirrels FLL Team!
We are a FIRST LEGO League Team from Newport News, Virginia. We got started in 2023 with just three team members, but since then we've expanded, and it's now six of us. It truly has been an amazing journey of learning, building, and competing with our LEGO robots!
FIRST LEGO League (FLL) is an awesome program where kids like us (ages 9-14 in Challenge) design, build, and program LEGO robots to solve real-world-inspired challenges! We also work on an Innovation Project to come up with cool solutions to problems in our community.
It's all about teamwork, learning, and having tons of fun with science and technology!
The BIOGLOW™ season focuses on biodiversity and the interconnectedness of life on Earth.
Teams explore how plants, animals, microorganisms, and ecosystems depend on one another,
why biodiversity is essential to a healthy planet, and how science, engineering, and technology
can help protect and restore natural habitats.
Our Innovation Project
Our team is working on an eelgrass nursery and restoration project.
Our Robot
We are building a strong and reliable competition robot.
We started by choosing the missions that would earn the most points in the limited time,
then built and tested multiple robot designs before selecting our cube-style drive base
that is easy to control and works well with attachments. We created simple, quick-change
attachments and programmed the robot using Python, with a gyro sensor to improve accuracy and
consistency.

League BIOGLOW page.
