Welcome to the Ryan Lions Robotics web site. Our website focus on the progress of our team and information you can find out about us, such as our missions, pictures, videos and more! Our team currently has kids from 6th – 8th grade. This program is supervised by Mr. Xanthus, our wonderful coach who has helped us through the challenges and difficulties. Robotics is a wonderful after-school program. It lets us get together and have fun most of all it teaches us the importance of teamwork, without teamwork we couldn’t have achieved what we have today. Thank you for visiting our website we hope you have a wonderful day.

It’s 2010, and you know what that means? It means a new season of robotics from 2010-2011! This years robotics is called “Body Forward” it’s about the body of a human and how or what bioengineering can help cure the disease. Our goal is to create a robot that can help cure Alzheimer’s disease in a safe and secure way. If you are interested in the missions please check our blogroll.

Well, some of you people might be wondering what this program is about. As you can see from the other posts, it’s not your typical robotics. It’s not this kind of robotics:

Or this kind:

This is our version of robotics:

And it might not have Will Smith, but it’s fun, fast-paced, exciting, and will have your heart beating until the last second!

Overview Of the First Lego League

Ryan Robotics — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 20:46:55 +0000

FIRST LEGO League (FLL) is a global program created to get kids excited about science and technology. Geared for ages 9-14 (up to 16 outside of the U.S. and Canada), FLL utilizes theme-based Challenges to engage kids in research, problem solving, and engineering. The cornerstones of the program are its Core Values, which emphasize contributions of others, friendly sportsmanship, learning, and community involvement.

Each annual Challenge has two parts, the Project and the Robot Game. Working in teams of up to 10 kids and guided by at least one adult coach, team members have about 10 weeks to:

Build an autonomous robot that will, in 2 minutes and 30 seconds, complete pre-designed missions
Analyze, research, and invent a solution for a given assignment
Create a clever presentation about their solution to perform in front of a panel of judges

The culmination of all that hard work for many teams is the participation in an FLL event. FLL events are much like sporting events! Referees monitor and score the robot game. Judges review team presentations. Teams earn awards and trophies. It’s a pumped-up environment with music and excitement, and there is a ton of cheering.
