Innovation Project: Archeologists typically use drones to explore excavation sites but they are expensive, break a lot, and result in invasive digging. We propose using rats! ExploreRats would be equipped with high tech backpacks containing cameras, LiDAR, and two-way communication with handlers. Archeologists would have access to the rat's perspective in addition to their amazing sense of smell. Say goodbye to invasive digging! This could revolutionize the field of archeology and allow so much to be discovered and preserved.

Innovation Project: The biggest threat to oceans and their explorers is plastic. The easiest way to solve it? AWARENESS. We came up with a two part marketing plan to achieve this goal. First, we contacted other FLL teams and friends around the world and obtained water samples from all five oceans. We worked with a scientist to analyze the samples for micro/nano-plastics. We planned to display the water samples and information in an eight foot LEGO globe. Second, we took this information and started an online petition to raise awareness. We told people that inland trash is the biggest source of plastics in the ocean and that we should encourage countries to suppose the UN's Global Plastics Treaty.

Robot: Advanced Driving Base named Bob. Max score of 245.
Robot Experts: Mr. Cliff (NGC) and Mr. Daniel (ERAU)
Innovation Project: Our team loves snacks but we realized that not everyone has enough food. We wanted to change that. We added tape armor to our robot and then used lots of paint, code, and fun to make artwork (our coaches were terrified for Bob the whole time!). We sold our art at the Pizza Gallery and Grill and then gave the proceeds to The Children's Hunger Project! We even got to be on tv thanks to Fox 35 in Orlando.
