Defining "Building/Coding Resource" - Robot Design Rubric

Could you please define what a "building or coding resource" is? This is from the section 'Identify' in the Robot Design Rubric: "Clear use of building or coding resources to support their mission strategy."

Based on the full description of 'Identify', which is "Team determined which missions to attempt, explored building and coding resources, and sought guidance as needed", I am interpreting 'resources' as any material a team encounters through research. This may include, but is not limited to:

  • Official build instructions for EV3/SPIKE Prime drive bases and attachments

  • Official coding lessons built into the programming app

  • The provided sample mission

  • Community-developed build and coding resources shared online via websites or YouTube videos

  • Resources that pertain to engineering/coding but not LEGO/FLL, eg. a YouTube video about PID or rack-and-pinion gears


I will note that while robots can and will be inspired by official and unofficial build guides, the 'Create' criteria does require that "Team[s] developed original designs or improved on existing ones according to their mission strategy." Applying the engineering design cycle of researching, building, testing and iterating enables teams to meet this criteria.
