You probably know that every year we're releasing a Solutions and Review course for the missions of FIRST LEGO League competitions challenges. This year the situation with the competition is a bit different, but here we are - sitting here, acting kinda normal, figuring out what robot should we build to accomplish every mission 10 times in a row.
These are a couple of structured examples and tutorials of how the missions for FIRST LEGO League (FLL) 2013 Nature's Fury competition could be accomplished. We've gathered recordings and explanations from which students and teacher can learn a lot. There are rubber bands, lifting attachments and a lot of trucks that we are pulling and pushing at this robotics competition.
Every type of artistic venue is filled with experts who are just as critical as the artists themselves. What careers would you find interesting?
Deliver the experts to their target destinations.
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.
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.
There is no show without an audience! We love to share our artistic creations with others.
Deliver the seven audience members to the target destinations.
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.
