Hello FLL Teams and welcome from FRC Teams Robototes 2412 (Sammamish) and Ramen Robotics 9036 (Bellevue Big Picture),
If you are getting this mail, you are registered as a coach or assistant coach for an FLL team that is competing at the FLL Bellevue Qualifier on Sunday Dec 15th . Our teams are thrilled to be co-hosting your FLL Qualifier!
We are one week away from the event. Here are some quick logistics which may be particularly helpful for rookie coaches. 😊
Most Important
A coach from every team needs to submit a printed copy of a filled-in roster when checking in the day of the event (all green checkmarks, no red crosses!). Please email me if you have questions about rosters and I’ll do my best to help you.

Practice Tables
We have a Practice Area where we would like to have 2 tables (this is dependent on teams volunteering to bring their equipment!). The practice area is near Pit Admin and there will be a signup sheet with time slots. Teams will be required to have coaches with them. We will have at least 2 volunteers overseeing the area, as well. We will take the utmost care to make sure that the mission models don’t get damaged, or acquire feet, fins or wings. Teams that are competing on Saturday, please consider lending your table, mat and mission model sets for both days to reduce setup issues. Please fill out the form below to help us figure out how many tables, mats and mission model sets will be available.

Food
It’s a long day and everyone will get hungry! You have the option of bringing your own food. For your convenience, Ramen Robotics will be running a concession stand (Coffee(!), Instant Noodles, Pizza Slices, Cookies, Chips, Protein Bars, Candy, Soda, Water and other food/beverage items – Items are $1 – $3). Whole Costco Pizzas are also available ($20), please preorder at this link and your pizza will be ready for pick up at lunch at the concession stand (Note: Make sure you select the correct day for your event!).

Feel free to reach out with questions regarding the venue and we look forward to seeing you!
Good luck and have fun,

The FIRST LEGO League Challenge for the SUBMERGED season invites teams of students (age 9-14) to use creative thinking and LEGO® technology to explore the layers of the ocean. FLL Challenge students will bring their creativity and problem-solving skills to the surface as they “sea” into the future.
Teams will design, build, and program LEGO robots to navigate complex missions that simulate real-life underwater challenges, fostering creativity, problem-solving, and STEM skills in young minds.
