“The Cow, Chicken, and Pig Limelight Mini Challenge!”  (This is an optional activity.)

So, here is the back story … The Cow, Chicken, and Pig were asked to participate in the 2011/12 FLL tournament.  However, due to a last minute rush to get all of the bacteria to the sink, the head game designer Scott Evans forgot to give them a major supporting role!   The Cow, Chicken, and Pig agreed to behave and stand still for the entire season … But now that the season is coming to a close, the Cow, Chicken, and Pig want some of the limelight.   Create a display featuring the Cow, Chicken, and Pig.  Here are the rules:

·         The display must showcase the Cow, Chicken, and Pig.

·         The display must showcase an element of your project.

·         The display must fit into a 12”x12”x12” box.

·         The display does not need to be made out of LEGOs.   

·         Displays will be judged based on adherence to the rules above and overall creativity. 

·         Winning team will receive a special award during the State Tournament Closing Ceremonies.

Q&A - Updated 1/27/2012

Q1: will the field models be glued together at states?

A1: No.

 

Q2: Do we need the team introduction forms for the state tournament?

A2: Yes, Please fill this in online so you do not need to bring additional forms. We will print them out before you get here. LINK

 

Q3: LUNCH

A3: There is a small food place at the gym, but not enough to feed the amount of people we are bringing. There is also a cafeteria just south of the gym.  The surrounding area has a lot of food shops. I'd suggest designating a "Feed Specialist" to procure your lunch and bring it back to the area.

 

Q4: Where exactly are we going?

A: FIT Clemente Center is at 150 West University Blvd., Melbourne, FL 32901

 

 

Good Luck to all of you,
