Cooperation means to work together.
Exercise in communication - two people sit back-to-back, one person makes a design with Lego bricks, and describes to the other person how to create same design on their board.
At the beginning of the season, our coach had recruited more people to join First Lego League. There were 16 kids total. We all met together to learn how to design robots, to learn how to make the robot follow a line using a light sensor, to learn how to calculate a key for the robot, and to learn how to program the robot. Then we split off into two teams of 8 people each. The 2 teams are Master Control Programmers and Kidz around the Block.
Coopertition is a word created by FLL, here is what their website says about coopertition.
"Coopertition produces innovation. At FIRST, Coopertition is displaying unqualified kindness and respect in the face of fierce competition. Coopertition is founded on the concept and a philosophy that teams can and should help and cooperate with each other even as they compete. Coopertition involves learning from teammates. It is teaching teammates. It is learning from mentors. And it is managing and being managed. Coopertition means competing always, but assisting and enabling others when you can."
