Volunteers!

Volunteers are the force that gets the work done.  You are the ones who faciliate this awesome experience for our children!  Without you, there would be no coaches, mentors or teams.  There would be no world class sporting events featuring LEGO Robots or their designers and engineers - no forum for the kids to demonstrate and present the product of their research genius and teamwork.  No judges, referees, pit bosses, scorekeepers, or other event staff to make all this happen!  (see photos linked here, and check out this article about the value of FLL for your volunteer hours)  

And with the difficult economic times we face, the demand for our greatest asset - YOU - is even greater!

Come!  Help make this year's competition a reality and the best season yet!

Click here for a full description of Volunteer Roles and expectations.

Volunteer positions range from general crowd control to specialized judging.  

People with technical skills are encouraged to apply those skills to JUDGING robot design and building , including mechanical and programming design and research projects.

We need Referees to watch the robot matches and record their accomplishments and adherence to the match rules.  We need Score Keepers to enter the numbers accurately into the computers.

And we CAN'T live without people willing to set-up, clean-up, check-in the teams, queue the teams and escort them to their matches and judging locations, photograph teams and matches, secure and watch the equipment, did I mention clean-up?  There is no shortage of support you can lend. 

ONE DAY - plus a little more
Tournament Volunteers will commit to a full day at their chosen tournament event.  You'll be asked to check in by 7:00 the day of the event.  Of course, setup will occur the night before, and clean-up will usually take a couple of hours after the crowds have gone home.  There will be judges and referee training - including materials and conference calls.

If you can only participate for a portion of the day, please make a comment to that effect in your registration subscription form.

EXPERIENCE COUNTS - but is NOT required!
We encourage Qualifier Tournament volunteers to bring their Event Experience to the Championship on Dec 13 at the Auraria Event Center on the Auraria Campus.

If you've not volunteered before - it's fun and simple. 

• Judges training will be held in advance through conference calls and online documentation.

• Referee training will be held the morning of the event.  New refs will be paired with experienced refs for mentoring

• All other volunteer positions will receive a briefing the morning of the event.
