FLL Trophy Medium- Build it Yourself

Description

A trophy built for the competition, not the shelf

Unlike a typical LEGO® set for home play, 2000473-1 belongs to the official FIRST LEGO League kit, an international robotics competition for young people. Teams, coaches or event organisers build the medium-sized trophy themselves, and it is then used as an award or as decoration at tournaments. With 280 pieces it sits in a compact size class, and the limited range of shapes keeps the build manageable even for less experienced builders working under time pressure. The name also points to smaller and larger versions of the same trophy, so organisers can pick a size that matches the scale of their event or the level of the award.

Few shapes, many repeats

All 280 pieces come from just 24 distinct elements, a far smaller variety than most sets of this size. In practice that means many bricks appear several times over in the same colour and shape, so a rhythm sets in quickly once building starts, and the same entries keep recurring on the parts list. For a group or club project, where several people sort and build at once, that repetition is genuinely useful rather than a limitation. Building it as a team also splits the work cleanly, since the same shapes can be sorted and clicked into place by several people at once.

The trophy's colour scheme

Black, yellow, blue and light bluish grey form the trophy's palette, giving it a strong, easily readable contrast suited to an award that needs to be seen on a stage or a table from a distance. The narrow colour range matches the limited variety of shapes and keeps the trophy reading as one connected object rather than breaking up into scattered patches of colour. On the day itself, that contrast helps the trophy stand out from the rest of the tables and stands, and it still reads clearly under poor lighting.

Who this set is for

Anyone taking part in or running a FIRST LEGO League tournament will find a genuinely fitting, literally self-built award in this set. The parts list on this page helps with reordering missing or damaged elements, or reusing the 24 distinct shapes for your own trophy variations. It is not designed for a regular play table at home; its purpose is squarely the competition context it was made for. As a gift for a young robotics team, the trophy also works well on its own, independent of the competition itself.
