Recently I have been working on a free side project for LEGO robots (SPIKE, EV3) with the potential for other hardware platforms for FLL and WRO.

Path planning, and direct robot connection and execution both for Pybricks and SPIKE HubOS.

Key entry points:

• https://robovibe.afarago.hu
• https://robovibe.afarago.hu/ai
• https://robovibe.afarago.hu/score
• https://robovibe.afarago.hu/timer
• https://robovibe.afarago.hu/quiz

My aim is to have a learning aid and tool for kids for the robot game for easy onboarding and a slightly easier toolchain. I would appreciate any feedback, ideas and your thoughts.

We’re getting ready for the Western Edge Invitational, and we’re looking for volunteers from across the FLL community to help make it an unforgettable experience.

This isn’t just any event, it’s the second largest FIRST event in the world, behind only the FIRST World Championship. You’ll see an incredible level of competition, top-tier teams, and a truly international field.

Alongside FLL Explore and FLL Challenge, we’ll also be hosting an FTC Premier event, making this a massive, multi-program FIRST experience all in one place.

FLL Challenge will feature an “On The Spot” challenge where teams work together in alliances and have one evening to design, build, and code a robot to compete in a completely new challenge.

Western Edge will be the only event in the world where FLL Explore teams will participate in a robot game experience, and they will also compete in an alliance-based On The Spot game.

We’re looking for volunteers of all experience levels, especially:

• FLL Challenge
  • Referees
  • Judges
• FLL Explore
  • Reviewers
  • Referees

Why volunteer?

• Be part of one of the biggest FIRST events in the world
• Work alongside experienced volunteers from across regions
• Help create an amazing experience for teams
• Connect with the broader FIRST community
• Learn how different regions operate, and bring back new ideas and best practices to your home region

We’re intentionally building balanced volunteer crews, mixing local and out-of-state volunteers to ensure every team interacts with strong, collaborative volunteers with varied experiences.

Location: Long Beach Convention Center
Dates: May 29–31, 2026
