Inclement Weather Policy

The Wyoming FLL Championship is a 'Rain or Shine' event. Well, in December, in Wyoming, it is really a 'Snow or Shine' event. Meaning that we do not have the ability to reschedule the event if there are poor road/travel conditions around the state. We are hoping for good weather, but we all know how it is in Wyoming (keep your fingers crossed that it will be a nice weekend). We will run the event with the teams that are present.

Final travel decisions will need to be made by each parent/coach/team with a primary focus on child/team safety.

The Wyoming FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Robotics Championship is back for its Fifth year! Wyoming FLL continues to grow and expand. This year nearly 70 teams from all over the state are planning on attending. This year's robotics championship will be held at the Casper Events Center on December 3rd and 4th, 2010 and we need your help again!

In order for this event to be successful, we need MANY volunteers. We need Adult volunteers to Judge and Referee. Judge Volunteers work in pairs to evaluate teams in one of three areas; Research Project, Robot Design, or Teamwork. Referees manage the the action during the Robot Game, and record the score for each round. In addition, we need volunteers to help with the competition in general; team runners, field reset, pit tables, etc. Individuals interested in being a volunteer can sign up by clicking the registration link http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/fllvolunteers or visiting our website http://wyomingfll.blogspot.com.

GENERAL VOLUNTEERS:
We are in need of volunteers for various jobs the day of the event. You can volunteer for a few hours or the whole day. You will find it to be a very rewarding experience contributing to the youth of Wyoming.

REWARDS:
No matter what volunteer role you choose, you will be provided with a free t-shirt, access to the volunteer hospitality room, and our sincere thanks. Most importantly, you will get to enjoy watching the teamwork, camaraderie, craftsmanship, learning, and team spirit provided by the fine students of Wyoming.
