• Push

This video tutorial is about a detachable attachment. In various FIRST LEGO League competitions there are missions that could be accomplished with an attachment and when you accomplish the mission you must somehow leave the attachment along with the mission model. Probably as a support - most of the time it is as a support. But we've seen some pretty powerful concepts that include things like leaving a clock mechanism that will continue to work for 30 seconds accomplishing the mission.

The bench mission was one of the most difficult we've encountered, especially when it comes to accomplishing the mission reliably. The goal of the mission is to push the bench down, lift part of it and leave 4 boxes at specific places. The whole concept of the mission is awesome. Here is how we did it:

In this video tutorial, we accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 mission called Platooning Trucks. The goal is to connect the two mission models (trucks) to each other and then connect them both to the bridge. It's quite an interesting mission as it involves three mission models.

10 out of 10 tutorials are about accomplishing missions in a reliable and repeatable way. In this video tutorials we accomplish the Step Counter mission 10 out of 10 times. We can push on the mission model, but if we push too hard we would lock it and there is no way back. So we use a slightly different approach. Check out the video to see how.

In this video tutorial, we push two of the mission models with a pinless active attachment with gears. The goal is to push the mission models after the blue lines. This attachment is interesting as it demonstrates a non-straightforward idea of how we can push the mission models. We explain the Scratch program and how we use the motion sensors - you will learn how to turn to a specific angle by using the motion sensor.

In this FLL video tutorial we accomplish the step counter mission. We use a LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor robot. The idea of the mission is to control the robot in a very precise way so that it could slowly push on the mission model and accomplish it. In the tutorial we demonstrated exactly this slow push, but in a different way.

Securely dock the ship that contains the samples and artifacts your team has collected.

Krill are a whale’s favorite food! Collect the krill and feed them to the hungry whale.

Use the ship’s sonar technology to scan the surroundings for nearby objects or animals.

An unknown creature has attached itself to the AUV! Safely release it and deliver it to the cold seep.

Raise the mast to restore the sunken shipwreck and explore what is inside.

Guide the angler fish back to its unexpected home within the shipwreck.

Secure new coral structures to grow in the nursery until they are strong enough for transport to the reef.

Many technologies are used to enable all sorts of great creations to be made anywhere.

Release the creation from the craft machine.

Augmented reality transforms a piece of art into an experience.

Rotate the statue to reveal an augmented reality experience.

What makes something art? Create an amazing art piece worthy of being displayed in a museum.

You can use the bricks in Bag 4 to build your team’s LEGO® art piece. Bring it to the match and then deliver it on the pedestal to the museum.

Immersing viewers so they are surrounded by the art allows them to experience and appreciate it in new ways.

Trigger the immersive experience for the viewer in the model.

Mechanical technology can support a theater performance by seamlessly changing the scenery, keeping the audience focused on the story.

Change the scenery to a different configuration, and consider what the other team will do so that you end with matching scenes.

Factories use large amounts of energy to make the products we use such as toys.

Deliver energy units to the toy factory bin and release the mini dinosaur toy.

Demand for energy is very high, and many different energy sources can be used to meet that demand.

Release the three energy units from the power plant.

Energy consumption in our homes is part of everyday life, such as watching the television.

Raise the television screen and move the energy unit to the television slot.

Renewable energy from the wind is used to turn the turbine blades and generate electricity.

Release the energy units from the wind turbine.

Oil is a non-renewable energy source that can be used to provide fuel for vehicles.

Pump the oil so that the fuel units load into the fuel truck, and then deliver the fuel truck to the fueling station.

Transporting large items can lead to unexpected problems, like maneuvering around a chicken statue along the way. It is important to plan ahead so nothing is damaged and your cargo arrives safely.
