FLLCasts Tip

This mission can be completed with one quick rotational movement. The inertia from the rotation can fully extend the mechanism, allowing the robot to score the full points with a single fast action.

Because the mission model is close to the left home area, the robot can return directly to home afterward if it is oriented correctly, saving valuable match time.
