4. Run 2: M8 - Push, Lift

FLL 2024: Push, Lift - Nautiq accomplishing M8 Artificial Habitat

This video tutorial focuses on accomplishing M8 Artificial Habitat of the FIRST LEGO League 2024-2025 SUBMERGED Challenge using the Nautiq box robot (a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot). The run uses a simple active pinless attachment mounted at the front of the robot, designed for precise engagement with the mission model.

The goal is to position all four crabs upright with their yellow bases touching the mat for maximum points, a task requiring careful alignment and controlled movements. While it is possible to complete the mission with fewer crabs upright, this run is programmed for the full score, using dedicated movement commands in a separate run for maximum accuracy. This approach combines a reliable mechanical design with precise navigation to meet the mission’s demanding scoring conditions.

FLL 2024: Programming Nautiq for Push, Lift with Word Blocks accomplishing M8 Artificial Habitat

This programming tutorial focuses on accomplishing M8 Artificial Habitat of the FIRST LEGO League 2024-2025 SUBMERGED Challenge using the Nautiq box robot (a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot).

The sequence is optimized to position all four crabs upright with their yellow bases touching the mat for maximum points. The code uses straightforward but highly accurate movement commands, ensuring the robot engages and adjusts the mission model with precision. This dedicated program minimizes errors and allows for consistent high-scoring runs, combining efficient programming with the attachment’s reliable design.

FLLCasts Tip

For M08 Artificial Habitat, the artificial habitat stack segment must be completely flat and upright. Remember that this mission has No Equipment Constraint!

It may be a good idea to accomplish this mission over multiple runs, combining it with other missions. If you want to complete it in a single run, your robot should be able to lift, pull, and push in different directions. This would require either building a very complex attachment or performing many movements with the robot, which could be time-consuming.

Once you complete this mission, you will have less space left between the M08 Artificial Habitat mission model and the M05 Angler Fish mission model. Therefore, you should carefully plan your subsequent runs.
