I received an email regarding an app: “App Update! SPIKE™ Prime app update for FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge teams “. I couldn’t find the app in the App Store. How do I get this app?

Is there a way to get more of the engineering notebooks? They only ever send me 2 for each team.

To access an interactive or static version of the engineering notebook in your dashboard, follow the instructions here https://info.firstinspires.org/hubfs/Education_Resources/thinkscape/FLLChallenge-Teams-Thinkscape-Access.pdf

I’m assuming we use computers for coding. Is there a best recommendation for common computers or individual devices?

While we won’t recommend a specific brand, your team will need at minimum a Chromebook-style computer for coding with SPIKE Prime. A full laptop isn’t necessary, but will certainly work. For FLL Challenge we don’t recommend tablet devices.

Am I able to change my team’s name within my dashboard once I have registered them? This is my rookie year, and I gave my team a super dry name–I would like them to come up with their own, as Lori suggested. Thanks!

Log into your dashboard – on the left-hand side, click on the button “team information” select “team profile” there, you will be able to change the name of your team.

Does that mean kids can push out the platooning trucks with their hands?

No, anytime the directions say, “you should, or you need to,”…it means the robot.

I’m having trouble locating the instructions to build the field models; is there a certain link? Thank you!
