Premise:
The dream of a modern society is one of equal access for all.
Society as a whole benefits when creativity, technology and open
minds come together to help make that equality possible for all
people, regardless of physical differences.

Focus:
Many people have difficulty moving or walking, or trouble reading
a distant sign or climbing stairs. The 2004 FLL Challenge is to
examine these seemingly simple tasks in a new light and explore
how technology and human thought can work together to create
equal access for all people.

The Challenge:
Each FLL team built and programmed a robot that addresses the
specific needs of people who face physical challenges in today's
society. Teams researched and presented robotics technology
solutions to help individuals in their community perform the
everyday actions that many people today take for granted.
