These are 3D Building Instructions for M03 Coral Nursery mission model for the FIRST LEGO League 2024-2025 SUBMERGED competition. This mission model does not have an alternative due to the specificity of the parts.

Background

It is amazingly expensive to send heavy stuff like construction material into space, so scientists and engineers are instead learning how to print what they need in space, using available extraterrestrial elements.

Mission

The robot needs to get a regolith core sample and place it into the 3D printer, which will cause the 2 × 4 brick to pop out. The ejected 2 × 4 brick can then be delivered elsewhere for more points.

Scores

• The 2 × 4 brick ejected and completely in the northeast planet area: 22 OR
• The 2 × 4 brick ejected and not completely in the northeast planet area: 18
• Possible scores: 0, 18, 22

Scoring Requirements

• Results must be visible at the end of the match.
• Eject the 2 × 4 brick by placing a regolith core sample into the 3D printer. > Only allowed method. Must be obserserved by the referee.

Background

Our Lander doesn’t have working parachutes, thrusters, or cushions, but one important feature is realistic … it’s very fragile.

Mission

Get the lander to one of its targets intact, or at least get it to base.

Scores

• Move the lander to be intact, touching the mat, and completely in its target circle: 22 OR
• Move the lander to be intact, touching the mat, and completely in the northeast planet area: 20 OR
• Move both parts of the lander completely into the base: 16
• Possible scores: 0, 16, 20, 22

Scoring Requirements

• The result must be visible at the end of the match.
• The lander is “intact” if its parts are connected by at least two of its four tan location axles.

Background

If a satellite doesn’t have the correct velocity and distance from earth, it can fall, drift away, fail to function or get destroyed by debris. Propulsive adjustments need to be performed with precision.

Mission

The robot needs to move one or more satellites to the outer orbit.

Scores

• Move any part of a satellite on or above the area between the two lines of the outer orbit: 8 each
• Possible scores: 0, 8, 16, 24

Scoring Requirements

• Result must be visible at the end of the match.

Background

Gardening is easy, right? You just need a truckload of rich soil, some rain, sun, fertilizer, helpful bugs, CO₂ and a rake but what if you were orbiting Neptune, in a room the size of a minivan?

Mission

Move the push bar the right distance at the right speed, to get into the green scoring range.

Scores

• Spin the food growth chamber’s colours so the grey weight is DROPPED after green, but before tan, by moving the push bar: 16
• Possible scores: 0, 16

Scoring Requirements

• The result must be visible at the end of the match.
• Spin the food growth chamber’s colors must be spun by moving the push bar. > Only allowed method. Must be oberserved by the referee.

Background

Soon after a launch, rocket engines often separate away from spacecraft by design, but that’s long before the spacecraft leaves the pull of gravity. So why doesn’t the spacecraft fall back to earth?

Mission

The robot needs to impact the strike pad hard enough to keep the spacecraft from dropping back down.

Scores

• Get the spacecraft to go so fast and high that it stays up, by pressing/hitting the strike pad: 24
• Possible scores: 0, 24

Scoring Requirements

• The result must be visible at the end of the match.
• Activate the spacecraft by pressing/hitting the strike pad. > Only allowed method. Must be observed by the referee.

Background

The chance of a “serious” meteoroid hitting earth in our lifetime is extremely low, but it’s not zero, and the devastation could truly wipe us out. How will scientists and engineers keep us safe?

Mission

From west of the free-line, send one or both meteoroids independently to the meteoroid catcher. “Independently”: see also M01, Section “Scoring Requirements”.

Scores

• Meteoroid(s) touch(es) the mat in the centre section of the meteoroid catcher: 12 each
• Meteoroid(s) touch(es) the mat in either side section of the meteoroid catcher: 8 each
• Possible scores: 0, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24

Scoring Requirements

• The result must be visible at the end of the match.
• The meteoroids need to be sent over the free-line to touch the mat in the meteoroid catcher > Only allowed method. Must be observed by the referee.
• The meteoroids must be hit/released while they are clearly and completely west of the free-line. > Only allowed method. Must be observed by the referee.
• While between hit/release and scoring position, the meteoroid must be clearly independent. > Only allowed method. Must be observed by the referee.
• If ever the ring-set meteoroid is off its ring, you may remove the ring from the field by hand. This is a special exception to the rules.
