First LEGO League North America
This URL takes you to the North American section of First Lego League International. FIRST is a not-for-profit foundation (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) which collaborates with Lego® Mindstorms™ to support this league and annual 8-week study and competition. Through this league, over 30,000 kids worldwide, age 9-14, are involved in building and programming robots.


Kids Online Resources
This website designed for children and families has quite a number of robotics links including projects for kids to build, as well as links to robotics laboratories like Carnegie Mellon and MIT, technology museums, and other robotics topics.


LEGO Mindstorms Internals
One of the best resources is this one maintained by Russell Nelson. It gives all sorts of links to Lego Mindstorms people, projects, lesson plans, websites, books, technical information, listservs, programming hints and commands, and hardware information and inventions.


LEGO.com Mindstorms
This is the link to the Lego Mindstorms site. Here you can find community information, technical information about Lego Mindstorms and the RoboLab software, a hall of fame for young people’s robotics designs, books and online tutorials to help you teach and learn how to program robots, information about the learning philosophy and teaching resources for using both the drag-and-drop introductory programming and the more advanced Java for Lego Mindstorms.


lego.com Robotics
This resource is the newsgroup called lugnet.robotics. It publishes the archives of a discussion group as well as online and print resources for creating, and developing robots with added technologies: the LEGO MINDSTORMS™ RIS, other programmable bricks, vision systems, bar-code readers, radio controlled units, research sites, microcode / embedded programming, and so on.


Robotics Education Project
This site of the Robotics Education Project features a Rookie section, links to colleges and universities that have robotics programs, student challenges, cool robotics links for each month, and the link to the summer Botball robotics meet.


Robotics Learning
This site, affiliated with Lego, offers workshops for teachers/leaders/mentors of robotics teams in California. Even if you are not from CA, however, you will find links to useful robotics resources, a newsletter, online discussion lists about robotics, and a link to the Lego Mindstorms Webring.


The Robot League at Kansas State University
The Kansas Robot League website. This is the league described in the accompanying article from October, 2003. The site contains links, contest information, reference sources, and other information for Kansas teachers.
