Can a run be 100% successful and still leave room for improvement? In this 10 out of 10 tutorial for the FLL UNEARTHED season, we evaluate the Smaller Pancake box robot with the shared M05-M07 attachment on Mission 5 and Mission 6.

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.

Even a simple lifting mechanism depends on a precise approach. In this 10 out of 10 analysis of Mission 13: Statue Rebuild from the FIRST LEGO League 2025–2026 UNEARTHED competition, we put the Smaller Pancake box robot and the Statue Rebuild attachment through ten consecutive attempts.

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.

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

Don't limit yourself to the box and think of different ways to lift the robot. 

Building a rack is a very important skill during competitions. You should try to build one, learn how to use it and have it as a tool for you next robots. But for this particular BoxRobot, we will not continue with a rack.

In the final video we explore how to trigger the release of the attachment with just a rubber band. The release is triggered with a gear wheel that rotates in a specific way. This saves speed, does not require additional LEGO Mindstorms motor and is precise enough for a competition. 

This is the first Active Pinless Attachment for the Box competition robot. The attachment is placed on the top of the robot and is controlled by one of the motors. 

Using the rack depends on the experience of the team. Based on this a different number of gear wheels and racks would be used.

In this video tutorial we accomplish 3 missions from the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWER robotics competition. The three missions are wind turbine, television, rechargeable battery. The robot uses a program with sensor compared to the previous way we've accomplished the missions with the same robot.
