And in FLL you are only allowed to use parts manafactured by Lego, stopping you from using string, glue etc., Robofest Game competition requires to solve unknown problems given on the day of the competition. Robofest allows you to use anything you want. Robofest is sponsored by Lawrence Technilogical University and is held annually. There is also an unknown problem that teams must complete without the help of any adult or coach. This ensures that they know how to program.
