The connected world trophy
When designing the new First Lego League trophy I wanted three things. I wanted it to represent the global nature of the competition. I wanted it to be made of materials similar to what you would find in an FLL robot. Lastly, I wanted it to *move*.
My design is a globe that rotates on its axis. As it rotates, gears representing each continent are also rotating. The FLL robots are a kind of kinetic sculpture and so I wanted the same thing to honor the winner.
I will have to apologize as this is not a fully realized concept. I have digital models of how I would begin to attach this globe to a base. I also have a physical model of most of the globe, only. The gearing proved to be rather tricky, however, I am confident that it can be done with a bit more design time.
