| 2009 FIRST LEGO League Challenge: Maine's 10th Anniversary FIRST LEGO League Championship! Augusta Civic Center December 12th, 2009 Maine Registration Cost (for your Budgets) will be $100/team. We have tried to obtain a number of grants to help cover this, but as you have probably noticed, we are in the middle of some hard times. We will keep working on it, but needed to make our best guesstimate for team registrations and it will be $100 this year. This is in addition to the National registration (which is required to participate in this program). REGISTRATION FORM (WORD) (PDF) Consent Form (required for all team members and volunteers) (PDF) Pay On Line SMART MOVE! FIRST participant release form (required for all team members and coaches) Visit the FLL website for updates. FIRST LEGO League International Transforming Transportation Can FIRST LEGO League teams transform the way we look at transportation? The key to the 2009 “Smart Move” Challenge is accessing people, places, goods and services in the safest, most efficient way possible. In this journey, teams will consider many modes of transportation beyond their daily routine and streamline their options by making smart moves! Doors open to teams at 8:30 am on the day of the tournament. Opening Ceremonies will begin at 9:30 am. We should be done with everything by around 4:00 pm. All teams must be registered Nationally (registration opens May 1st, 2009) before registering for the Maine Championship.
