On this page we keep links and references to various North Texas FIRST LEGO League competition resources, to make them easy for us to locate quickly later. Where possible we try to link directly to official pages and notifications; but we’re definitely not the official source for any of this. If in doubt — double check the official sources!
Feel free to suggest additional links or resources that should appear here, or to let us know of errors or things that shouldn’t be here.
