- What is your favorite activity or hobby?
- If you could change something about the world, what would it be?
- What is your favorite time of the year?

- What is the best advice anyone ever gave you?
- What is the one thing the whole team has in common?
- What did you think when you received your invitation to participate in FLL?
Part II
Read the welcome pages and The Art of LEGO Design,
then answer the following questions:
- What is the difference between a grey and a black connector peg?
- What is the recommended way to make your LEGO constructions extra strong?
- What is the effect of meshing an 8 tooth input gear with a 24 tooth output gear?
- How would you combine gears to produce an output shaft that rotates 15 times faster than the input shaft?
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of a worm gear?
- How do you change the axis of rotation between the input and output shafts of a gear train?

Note: this is extremely difficult reading for this age group, so this
should probably be broken up into a couple of days...
Part III
Our team needs a name, because “Team 1096” is BORING!!!
Suggest at least one name for our FLL team.
