Mycelium is the vast, underground network of fungus beneath the rainforest floor. Form a new connection between the mycelium and a neighboring tree root.

No Equipment Constraint: A mission model cannot earn points if it is touching equipment at the end of the match.

Climbing vines have wrapped tightly around this tree. Gently untangle them so the tree has space and sunlight to grow again.

Olivia and Michael are studying species that live the rainforest canopy with the help of their forest guide. Help the team deploy equipment to monitor activity high above the forest floor.

Roots help to tell the long history of the rainforest. Open the root window and document what you see.

Once a towering giant, this aging tree now bends beneath its own weight. Add a support to stabilize the tree for years to come.

Keystone species bring balance to their ecosystem and shape the forest around them. Your team must build and deliver a keystone species to this newly protected habitat.

A thriving rainforest relies on its plant diversity. Place the seeds your team has collected in the soil and watch as they take root.

Thoughtful design creates harmony between humans and the natural world. Modify the building to create homes for wildlife, restore soil health, and bring natural light to green spaces.

Positioning your MINDSTORM robot precisely on the FIRST LEGO League competition field is one of the first things you should learn while preparing. In this video tutorial, we will show three different attachments you could use when aligning to the walls of the competition table. We will show other ways and attachments in some of the next videos.

The attachment builds on previous episodes this time using two LEGO rubber bands. When a lever is released the rubber band exerts pressure on it and moves it in a circular motion. As an example we are solving the 2012 FIRST LEGO League, Senior Solutions, stove mission (which was quite interesting as a mission)

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.

How should an instructor use this course when working with students and a group of students in school

Where should you lift the robot? Especially if you don`t have the mission model that we are using
