FLL Innovation Project
Teams will use creative thinking to explore the layers of the ocean and bring their learnings and ideas to the surface as they “sea” into the future.
Solvers of X&Y (52777) -- Innovation
Seaweed Bioplastic - An Innovative and Sustainable Solution to Plastic Pollution
To address the pressing issues of plastic pollution and its ties to the petroleum industry, Solvers of X&Y developed an innovative and sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastics. Their solution—a bioplastic film crafted entirely from natural ingredients like brown seaweed—is 100% biodegradable. This durable, flexible, and heat-resistant material is versatile, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Committed to more than just innovation, the team actively works to integrate this technology into the real world, fostering a circular economy and driving public interest in sustainable solutions.

Introducing Octa-Master V2!
Introducing Octa-Master V2—a faster, stronger, and smarter evolution of our Spike Prime robot. Now featuring 10 outputs and enhanced gearing for improved speed and torque, this version pushes the boundaries of what’s possible with just 2 motors. Powered by refined Python code, Octa-Master V2 showcases the growth of our student team in both engineering and programming, continuing our legacy of innovation from EV3 to Spike Prime.
UnknownSolver (52736) -- Innovation
Geary, the Spinner Cleaner! A Low-Cost Solution to Collect Floating Trash Using
Natural River Current Power
What is the root cause of ocean trash pollution? Our Unknown Solvers may have a feasible solution. After extensive research, FLL team 52736, Unknown Solvers, developed a prototype designed to collect floating trash from rivers and streams using natural water currents. The system features a modular design with several gear-shaped spinning devices that guide trash across the river to a designated collection point, operating entirely without external energy. The team proudly earned the Regional Championship 1st Place Award for their innovation.

Our First Spike Prime Robot!
After three years of building robots with EV3, the team transitioned to Spike Prime, unlocking the exciting features of the new system. Inspired by their senior team, Solvers of X&Y, these young builders and technicians embraced Python to program their robot. Their feedback highlighted the benefits of the switch, including easier construction and more precise control, confirming the move to Spike Prime as a step in the right direction.
