FLLCasts Tip

Because Missions 13–15 can be placed on the docks chosen by the team, this model can be positioned to fit your route. If it is placed at the upper-right dock near the Blue Home Area, the robot can return directly to home and save time.

This is the most complex of the dock missions because three different actions are needed for the maximum base score: raise the Nesting Canopy, move the Garden Skylight completely in, and lower the Compost Hatch. One option is to place this model at the Mine dock, where the robot can use two walls near the Blue Home Area for alignment.

The Nesting Canopy can be raised with an inclined beam that lifts it as the robot approaches. The Garden Skylight can be pulled in with a hook as the robot backs away. To lower the Compost Hatch, use a mechanism that presses the handle; an axle fitted with a Technic Tooth 1 x 3 with Axlehole with Rounded Bottom Cavity can both press and slightly pull the handle to help start the movement.

The dock you choose also determines which action earns the Environmental Bonus: the nesting canopy at the Mine dock, the garden skylight at the City dock, or the compost hatch at the Farm dock.
