During the tournament, each team has three attempts, each lasting two and a half minutes, to achieve the best possible score. After all rounds are completed, only the team’s highest score is counted, and the winner is the team with the most points.<\/p>\n In the Robot Design category, judges evaluate how functionally and thoughtfully the team developed their robot\u2014from the construction itself and mission strategy to the way the children explained their workflow. Special attention is given to programming logic, teamwork, and the innovative solutions they implemented.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”56915″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”left-to-right”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”56919″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”right-to-left”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”56917″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css_animation=”right-to-left”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text el_class=”tekst”]The Innovation Project is a vital segment of every FLL season. During months of preparation, teams research a specific real-world problem and develop creative, sustainable solutions that can contribute to the improvement of their community. This year\u2019s theme, UNEARTHED, directed participants toward researching and preserving archaeological heritage, encouraging them to consider how modern technologies can contribute to discovering, protecting, and presenting traces of the past. Through their presentations, teams showcased the entire workflow\u2014from initial research and interviews with experts to developing and testing ideas, and finally presenting their solutions to a target audience.<\/p>\n Core Values represent the heart of everything FIRST LEGO League promotes\u2014discovery, innovation, inclusion, teamwork, impact, and fun. They are not just an evaluation criterion, but a principle that connects all participants and shapes the entire competition experience. Special value is placed on how the children support one another, collaborate with mentors, interact with other teams, and contribute to a positive atmosphere in the spirit of respect, fair play, and shared learning.[\/vc_column_text] The participants of the UNEARTHED season were the following teams:<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text] Based on their overall engagement in all four areas of the FIRST LEGO League Challenge program\u2014Robot Game, Robot Design, Innovation Project, and Core Values\u2014one team stood out and earned the title of Challenge Program Champion in Serbia for the 2025\/26 season.
