UNEARTHED 2025

Digging up stories, safeguarding the future.

FIRST LEGO League challenges teams to uncover cultural artifacts, share who preserved them, and prototype technology that protects fragile histories. Our UNEARTHED plan blends storytelling with field-ready engineering.

Challenge focus

We framed our research question around learning about historical artifacts by reaching out to museums and community leaders.

Robot priorities

Volt Voyager, our UNEARTHED robot, tackles missions that align with the story theme.

  • Reliable code execution that runs well with minimal setup
  • Uses a color-sensor to help align the robot in different missions
  • Modular frame so we can complete different missions quickly
