Mission 8 is solved here with momentum rather than a delicate push. During the FLL 2025-2026 UNEARTHED competition, the Smaller Pancake box robot spins a weighted Silo attachment so two weighted LEGO bricks strike the red lever and eject the preserved food.
Power and consistency can go hand in hand. In this ten-run FIRST LEGO League UNEARTHED season test, the Smaller Pancake box robot and the Silo attachment tackle Mission 8, demonstrating why three well-balanced strikes produce such dependable results.
A small turn creates the clearance needed for a clean lift in Mission 13: Statue Rebuild. In this FIRST LEGO League 2025-2026 UNEARTHED competition tutorial, the Smaller Pancake box robot powers an active lifting attachment to raise the statue from the right base.
This run asks the robot to think several missions ahead. In the FLL 2025 UNEARTHED competition, the Smaller Pancake box robot crosses almost the entire field with a multi-purpose M14 and M15 attachment, places the Mission 15: Site Marking flag, collects the opposing team's minecart, and brings it with previously collected artifacts to the left base for Mission 14: Forum.
Short, direct, and almost identical every time. This 10 out of 10 tutorial from the FIRST LEGO League 2025-2026 UNEARTHED competition puts the Smaller Pancake box robot and the Site Marking attachment through ten flag deliveries for Mission 15.
No Equipment Constraint: A mission model cannot earn points if it is touching equipment at the end of the match.
This time we stop on "Using the Right Senses" mission, or actually on how to solve the "Right Senses" mission without "Senses" (sensors). To achieve that we use the carabineer counstructed in one of the previous tutorials, of course after a small modification.
We've already build a number of resources for lifting at FLLCasts.com. But at the end of this course we would have a robot that lifts itself and hangs on the mission model.
What is the end result? - have the attached on the mission model. What is the mechanism the would make the robot hang on the mission model.
There were a few problems with the 40 teeth gears that we were using. Let's list some of them
In this tutorial, we add another mission to our current program. This mission is - hanging the Gecko from the FIRST LEGO League Animal Allies.
DIfferent wheels and tires will result in different behaviour of the robot. That is actually pretty common sense. The real question is what is the influence. Would the robot make smaller deviations if it has smaller wheels or it will make larger deviations? The tires could also be quite dirty or brand new. Or the wheels could be attached in different ways.
This video tutorial contains a detailed explanation on how we accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2018-2019 Into Orbit mission called M05. EXTRACTION. On every robotics competition we have the challenge to collect, carry and return to base a number of objects. It is just in different way every time.
In this video tutorial we would look at the mission run for M09. STRENGTH EXERCISE. The mission is to lift a heavy object in the air. And that could a complex mission. It requires to use gear wheel and the attachment should be quite strong. The tutorial contains only the mission run on the field. We accomplish a single mission.
