For Mission 11: Angler Artifacts in the FIRST LEGO League 2025-2026 UNEARTHED competition, the Smaller Pancake box robot does not simply drive into the model. With the geared Angler Artifacts attachment, it pivots into position, meshes with the mission gears, and raises both the flag and the artifact before heading toward the right base.
Small variations in the approach do not always have to change the score. In this 10 out of 10 test from the FLL 2025-2026 UNEARTHED competition, the Smaller Pancake box robot repeats Mission 11: Angler Artifacts with the same geared attachment ten times.
Rather than forcing the scale down, this solution lets gravity finish the job. In Mission 10: Tip the Scales from the FLL UNEARTHED season, the Smaller Pancake box robot uses a passive pinless attachment to lift the green cover just enough for the scale to tip, then catches the pan as it reverses.
Fast runs are only valuable when they survive repetition. This 10 out of 10 tutorial tests the Smaller Pancake box robot and the Tip the Scales attachment on Mission 10 in the FIRST LEGO League 2025-2026 UNEARTHED competition.
A rotating hook does most of the heavy lifting in this solution for Mission 9: What's on Sale in the FLL 2025 UNEARTHED competition. The Smaller Pancake box robot uses the gear-driven M09 attachment to raise the roof, release it cleanly, and lift the market wares during the same return movement.
The hook can be engineered perfectly and still miss if the robot begins at the wrong angle. This ten-run analysis of Mission 9: What's on Sale in the FIRST LEGO League UNEARTHED season follows the Smaller Pancake box robot with its roof-and-market attachment.
This is not the usual straight trip from base to mission model. For Mission 7: Heavy Lifting in the FLL UNEARTHED season, the Smaller Pancake box robot deliberately travels outside the mat, uses the table wall as a reference, and reaches the Millstone with an active pinless attachment.
Mission 7 looks playful in a single run; ten attempts show how much it depends on the table. In this FLL 2025 UNEARTHED competition test, the Smaller Pancake box robot uses the Heavy Lifting attachment after aligning against the wall.
Two neighboring missions become one efficient run in this FIRST LEGO League 2025-2026 UNEARTHED competition tutorial. The Smaller Pancake box robot carries the combined M05-M07 attachment to release the ore from Mission 6: Forge, raise Mission 5: Who Lived Here, and move the blocks toward the edge for later use.
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.
Mission 8 is solved here with momentum rather than a delicate push. During the FLL 2025-2026 UNEARTHED competition, the Smaller Pancake box robot spins a weighted Silo attachment so two weighted LEGO bricks strike the red lever and eject the preserved food.
Power and consistency can go hand in hand. In this ten-run FIRST LEGO League UNEARTHED season test, the Smaller Pancake box robot and the Silo attachment tackle Mission 8, demonstrating why three well-balanced strikes produce such dependable results.
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.
This run asks the robot to think several missions ahead. In the FLL 2025 UNEARTHED competition, the Smaller Pancake box robot crosses almost the entire field with a multi-purpose M14 and M15 attachment, places the Mission 15: Site Marking flag, collects the opposing team's minecart, and brings it with previously collected artifacts to the left base for Mission 14: Forum.
