From Zero to Hero
summary
A five‑year program turns 5th graders into world champions: Lituanica X starts on LEGO Mindstorms EV3, moves through First Lego League and FTC, builds a half‑meter FTC robot and a larger FRC‑style machine, and wins the October 2022 FIRST Global Challenge. Teams use EV3 bricks with motors and sensors, write ~100 lines of Python for autonomous 30‑second runs, iterate fast changeable attachments, and earn a world‑championship design prize.
