This program was intended for and tested on the Gazon, LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with the Cargo Connect M03 Unload Cargo Plane attachment. It is meant to help the robot complete the 3rd mission of the FLL Cargo Connect competition.
This video tutorial contains a details explanation on how we accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2018-2019 Into Orbit mission called M06. SPACE STATION MODULES. This again is a very interesting mission from the competition from which we could learn a lot of basic principles in the field of robotics.
This video tutorial focuses on accomplishing M05 Angler Fish, M09 Unexpected Encounter, M10 Send over the Submersible, and M11 Sonar Discovery of the FIRST LEGO League 2024-2025 SUBMERGED Challenge using the Nautiq box robot (a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot). The run uses three attachments in sequence: an aligning attachment at the start to reduce initial inaccuracies, a front attachment for solving M05 and M10 while collecting krill, reef segments, and the water sample, and a back attachment for solving M11, delivering the unknown creature for M09, and collecting plankton and seabed samples.
The front attachment is particularly interesting in this configuration because it integrates two color sensors and one motor directly onto the attachment itself. These sensors are used to align the robot to the black line near M10, while the aligning attachment at the start ensures a precise launch position.
This version of the big run takes on significantly more missions in a single attempt than a standard sequence, which naturally comes at the cost of reduced accuracy. In the current FLL competition format—where only your best score from three attempts is counted—this trade-off can be highly strategic. A run that works perfectly even just once can yield a massive point boost, making this kind of high-reward, lower-consistency approach a potential game-changer for teams willing to take the risk.
The goal of this course is to prepare students and teachers for the challenges on FIRST LEGO League competition and as an introduction here are a few guidance on how to use to course, what to do and what not to do
Part four of the Catapult series is again about loading the catapult automatically but this time using EV3 brick, motor and sensor. We use a gear system with a medium complexity along with a "standard clutch" available in the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 kits. As a result, at the end of the video, the Catapult loads and fires automatically.
In the second run Nightbeast team solves different tasks from two missions - M05 Extraction and M06 Space Station Modules:
Kiril Mitov's most favourite attachment. To quote him "I had a really great fun building this attachment and recording the videos for it".
It's an attachment with a Rubber band and a Flywheel and a Gear Wheel and a Worm Gear. So much knowledge in just one small attachment. The goal of the attachment is to be able to have an active attachment without actually having a motor. So you can place that attachment and it will do the work for you instead of using a motor to power it.
Build with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 set.

In the third run Nightbeast team solves Mission 04 - Crater Crossing and partly Mission 03 - 3D printing and Mission 014 Meteoroid Deflection:
Carefully mount the new coral structure without damaging other nearby reef segments.
In this video tutorial we experiment with different ways of solving the sports mission for throwing the ball. We show seven different LEGO MIndstorms EV3 and NXT robot constructions and attachements. Most of the techniques could be applied for any mission involving throwing a ball or an object.
This is the fifth and the last run of the Nightbeast team. Robot goes out of the base, do missions:
and stays on the field. It's a common practice for the competitors to left the robot on the field after the last run. This allows them to do some important points at the end of the match.
In this LEGO robotics video tutorial we will accomplish mission 8 from the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay competition. The name of the mission is Boccia. What you will learn from the video is how to accomplish complex missions that require following a line, aligning to the line and accomplishing many mission models in a single run
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.
Transportation includes getting the correct cargo to the correct place. Sort your containers and deliver them to their destinations.
Trains can transport cargo to many places. Keeping infrastructure like train tracks in good condition is important to ensure trains reach their destinations.
