• Loops

In this video tutorial, we demonstrate a full run of all missions without pausing the recording. The competition is the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge, and the robot is the Chain Monster - a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot.

These kinds of runs are extremely useful for team preparation right before the competition, as they help team members improve their accuracy, speed, and self-control.

This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial in which the Minibox robot accomplishes M10 and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge. One run takes less than 5 seconds as the mission model is very close to the base, which is why the video is not that long.

The Minibox is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot that uses a detachable attachment to adjust the sound levels in M10 Sound Mixer and an active attachment to collect the M15 minifigure. Let's see the consistency of this robot!

This video tutorial shows how the Minibox robot accomplishes M10 and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge robotics competition. The Minibox is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot that uses a detachable attachment to adjust the sound levels in M10 Sound Mixer and an active attachment to collect the M15 minifigure. The run takes less than 5 seconds, so let's dive in!

This is a 10 out of 10 video tutorial demonstrating how the Minibox robot completes M11 and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge competition. We use a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot equipped with a lever to collect the M15 minifigure and a mechanism to rotate the M11 Light Show tower. We've taken a slightly unexpected approach to M11, so be sure to check out the detachable attachment!

This video tutorial demonstrates how the Minibox robot completes M11 and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge season. The robot is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot, equipped with a mechanism to rotate the M11 Light Show tower. However, we've opted for a more interesting approach. Let's check it out in the video!

In this video tutorial, the Minibox box robot is accomplishing M02 and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge robotics competition. This robot is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot that uses a detachable attachment and rubber band mechanism to achieve its goals.

When the robot presses down the mission model, it activates the detachable attachment which disconnects from the robot and triggers the rubber band mechanism, allowing it to collect the minifigure.

We know this attachment may seem a bit complex, but after a few tries, you'll definitely enjoy working with it!

This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial in which we focus on accomplishing M02 and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge competition. We use the Minibox, a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot.

In this scenario, the robot uses a complex attachment that combines several mechanisms. One of these mechanisms is detachable, meaning it disconnects from the robot after pressing down and changing the scenery of the M02 Theater Scene Change. Once this mechanism is activated, it triggers the rubber band mechanism, which collects the M15 minifigure. Be sure to study the attachment carefully before attempting to complete these missions.

This animation demonstrates a vertical lift attachment. This is an attachment that transfer a circular motion from the motors to a linear motion and is a very powerful concept. We demonstrate it with a LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor robot build from 51515 set. This is arguably one of the most complex attachments in this course.

This animated video tutorial demonstrate the use of a lift attachment to accomplish loops mission. It is a lift attachment with a circular motion

In this video tutorial we look at Vertical Lift Attachments. The attachment, the root and the mission model are all build from LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor 51515 set. We've found that vertical lift attachments that could lift missions models vertically could be quite useful for FIRST LEGO League competitions. This attachment is one of the more complex attachments and some say it has an "eye opening" mechanism as you can learn so much from it. It uses gear wheels and two levers connected to those gear wheels to lift a part vertically.

In this video tutorial we demonstrate the user of a quick 'pinless' attachment. As all pinless attachment it is not that they are completely pinless, but that they do not require the "click" of the pins that is often difficult to achieve in a quick pace environment as during FIRST LEGO League competition rounds.

In this video tutorial we demonstrate a robot attachment that could be used to lift loops and other objects. Almost every year there is a mission at FIRST LEGO League competitions that involve lifting and the principle is interesting. You can build the attachment, robot and mission model from a single LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor 51515 set and learn a principle of building an attachment for lifting.

This animation demonstrates the use of a Grab Attachment build from LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor 51515 set. Many of the FIRST LEGO League missions could be accomplished by grabbing the mission model and the principles shown here is useful for mission models that look like a loop

In this video tutorial we demonstrate a Grab attachment build from LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor 51515 set. The goal of the grab attachment is to accomplish the mission of bringing loops back to base without loosing or dropping them when returning. The principle of the grab attachment also demonstrates how to have a a locking mechanism. In this way there is not way to the loop to escape.

With this animation we demonstrate an example for a quick pinless attachment that could be used to collect loops. Loops is one of the most common missions at FIRST LEGO League competitions. We use the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor set to build the attachment, the mission model and the robot. They are all from the same attachment. In the live video in the same lesson we enter into more details about the attachment and we describe its idea
