registration 2008
Greetings FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Participants:
Welcome to the 2007 FIRST LEGO League Power Puzzle Season where we will explore how energy production and consumption choices affect the planet and our quality of life today, tomorrow, and for generations to come. In order to help your registration run as smoothly as
possible we are providing you with the following key information.
Registration is open now through September 29th or until all slots are
filled, whichever comes first. Please note that FLL materials (Robot Set
and Field Setup Kit) must be ordered by this deadline, but are subject to
product availability. The maximum capacity is 5,100 teams (US and Canada.)
We encourage early registration, product ordering, and payment to ensure
timely receipt of program materials. MINDSTORMS RCX Robot Sets and Coaches'
Handbooks begin to ship in June. MINDSTORMS NXT Robot Sets and Field Setup
Kits begin to ship in August.
Please note that there is a surge in registration during mid-August to
September 29th. If you place your order during this time period, you may
experience a slight delay in order processing.
To register your team(s), go to the FIRST web site
http://www.firstlegoleague.org and click on the registration
link. On the FLL Registration Page you will find important information
pertaining to registration, such as steps to complete a team registration,
product description and pricing, and contact information.
Some helpful hints are:
Read “Important Registration Information” on the FLL Team
Registration web site prior to proceeding with registration;
MINDSTORMS NXT is designed to run on Windows XP and MacOS X.
Your order is not complete until you hit “Place Order” and see an
on-line order confirmation on the screen, even if a team number has
been assigned;
If you are using purchase order as a payment method and the PO number
is not available, enter “TBD” in the PO number field;
Team registration fee ($235 CDN) does not include the Field Setup Kit
nor does it guarantee one will be available in September. Please
order your Field Setup Kit early;
Team registration process and fee do not include participation in an
event;
Use an email address that can receive outside email (some schools’
firewalls do not accept outside emails);
For U.S. Teams: In response to popular demand, LEGO Education has
initiated a pro forma (provided in advance) invoice to allow the
option to make payment prior to the shipping of your order. This is
especially beneficial to those teams spending funds during the fiscal
year ending July 1, 2007. LEGO Education will send a final sales
invoice when your order ships reflecting your payment status at that
time.
We look forward to welcoming you back for the 2007 Power Puzzle Challenge!
Sincerely,
FLL Staff
Go Teams!
