This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial in which we focus on accomplishing M02 and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge competition. We use the Minibox, a LEGO Education Spike Prime box robot.
In this scenario, the robot uses a complex attachment that combines several mechanisms. One of these mechanisms is detachable, meaning it disconnects from the robot after pressing down and changing the scenery of the M02 Theater Scene Change. Once this mechanism is activated, it triggers the rubber band mechanism, which collects the M15 mini-figure. Be sure to study the attachment carefully before attempting to complete these missions.
We decided to build detachable attachments because team members often lose valuable time replacing attachments after runs. When the attachment disconnects on its own and stays on the mat, it saves a lot of time. However, be sure to carefully plan your next moves, as you’ll now have a few additional obstacles to navigate around!
