This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial where we demonstrate a reproducible completion of a shared mission. The mission is shared as both teams must agree about how they are completing the mission. The tutorials shows the robot approaching the FIRST LEGO League mission model. You will see how the robot pushes on the lever every time for a 10 out of 10 completion.
This video tutorial focuses on accomplishing M01 Coral Nursery, M02 Shark, M03 Coral Reef, and M04 Scuba Diver of the FIRST LEGO League 2024-2025 SUBMERGED Challenge using the Nautiq box robot (a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot). The run uses a two-part pinless attachment designed to complete multiple missions in a single sequence. The small angled surface mounted under the robot flips the coral buds from M01 and pushes the shark from M02, while the front arm catches and delivers the Scuba Diver from the coral nursery to the coral reef support.
The back section of the attachment flips the coral reef from M03 using a friction-pin mechanism that stays straight during travel but drops the horizontal arm at the mission model to push the yellow plate and raise the coral reef. Extra axles on the front arm prevent the Scuba Diver from falling during delivery, ensuring reliable scoring. This coordinated multi-mission approach maximizes efficiency by combining pushing, collecting, and delivering into one smooth run.
This video tutorial demonstrates how the MiniBox accomplishes four missions - M06, M07, M14, and M15 - of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge robotics competition.
It may seem challenging to achieve all of this in a single run, but with careful planning and solid programming, success is within reach! The robot is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot, equipped with rubber bands and various mechanisms. Since this is our final run, we can leave the robot on the mat, saving some time. Let's dive in!
In this video tutorial, we use the Unload Cargo Ship mission from FIRST LEGO League 2021 Cargo Connect robotics competition to demonstrate how we program the robot to keep a straight line while moving. Do we need that for this mission? Probably not, but we do it either way to demonstrate the solution in a fairly simple mission. The program uses the motion sensor to auto-correct the errors the robot is making while moving.
The bench mission was one of the most difficult we've encountered, especially when it comes to accomplishing the mission reliably. The goal of the mission is to push the bench down, lift part of it and leave 4 boxes at specific places. The whole concept of the mission is awesome. Here is how we did it:
This video tutorial is for the Tire Flip Mission from FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay robotics competition. Flip missions are always some of the most interesting and challenging. In this tutorial you would learn how to build an attachment and accomplish a mission that requires you to flip a part, like flipping a coin. Most of the complexity for this mission is in the attachment and not the programming, but this is also way it works perfectly, every single time.
This is a 10 out of 10 video tutorial, in which we demonstrate how Kufar, a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime out-of-box robot, accomplishes M03, M15, M11, and M04 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge season ten times in a row!
As we said in the previous tutorial, Kufar executes several complex moves while navigating the mat. At the front, the robot features a scissor-like attachment triggered by rubber bands. At the back, there is a mechanism that carries a couple of mini-figures and the M04 art piece. Enjoy!
In this video tutorial, we push two of the mission models with a pinless active attachment with gears. The goal is to push the mission models after the blue lines. This attachment is interesting as it demonstrates a non-straightforward idea of how we can push the mission models. We explain the Scratch program and how we use the motion sensors - you will learn how to turn to a specific angle by using the motion sensor.
In this FLL video tutorial we accomplish the step counter mission. We use a LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor robot. The idea of the mission is to control the robot in a very precise way so that it could slowly push on the mission model and accomplish it. In the tutorial we demonstrated exactly this slow push, but in a different way.
In this video tutorial, we accomplish three missions in a row. It is a little longer and more detailed tutorial, but hey, 3 missions, one after the other. These are the Wind Turbine, where we have to push 3-4 times and collect the energy units, the Watch Television, where we reach the mission model and slightly push, and, of course, the Rechargeable Battery - where we collect the energy units.
This is a 10 out of 10 video tutorial that focuses on accomplishing M01 Coral Nursery, M02 Shark, M03 Coral Reef, and M04 Scuba Diver of the FIRST LEGO League 2024-2025 SUBMERGED Challenge using the Nautiq box robot (a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot).
The robot pushes the shark, flips the coral buds and coral reef, and collects and delivers the Scuba Diver with precision. This efficient multi-mission run is designed for speed and reliability, ensuring maximum points with minimal wasted movement. You can watch the full explaining tutorial here.
This video tutorial is about a detachable attachment. In various FIRST LEGO League competitions there are missions that could be accomplished with an attachment and when you accomplish the mission you must somehow leave the attachment along with the mission model. Probably as a support - most of the time it is as a support. But we've seen some pretty powerful concepts that include things like leaving a clock mechanism that will continue to work for 30 seconds accomplishing the mission.
10 out of 10 tutorials are about accomplishing missions in a reliable and repeatable way. In this video tutorials we accomplish the Step Counter mission 10 out of 10 times. We can push on the mission model, but if we push too hard we would lock it and there is no way back. So we use a slightly different approach. Check out the video to see how.
This video tutorial focuses on accomplishing M15 Research Vessel of the FIRST LEGO League 2024-2025 SUBMERGED Challenge using the Nautiq box robot (a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot). The run uses a pinless attachment designed to push the ship loaded with cargo to its destination. After the previous run, the hook part is removed and replaced with a locking component that holds the ship securely during transport.
The locking mechanism uses friction pins to keep the ship stable until it reaches its destination, where it can then be released smoothly. This approach ensures the cargo remains secure throughout the journey while allowing for safe delivery and quick unloading at the final position.
This video tutorial is a 10 out of 10, demonstrating how the MiniBox accomplishes four missions - M06, M07, M14, and M15 - of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge.
Yes, the attachment is complex, and there are quite a few actions, but this LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot handles them brilliantly! Let's take a look!
In this video tutorial, we accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 mission called Platooning Trucks. The goal is to connect the two mission models (trucks) to each other and then connect them both to the bridge. It's quite an interesting mission as it involves three mission models.
This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial demonstrating the consistency with which the Kufar robot accomplishes M12, M13, and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge season. Kufar is an out-of-the-box LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot, meaning you don’t need to connect attachments—just slide the brick into the attachment frames.
In this run, the robot collects the mini-figures using a rubber band mechanism, rotates the chicken with a gear mechanism, and pushes and pulls the M13 Craft Creator mission model.
This video tutorial focuses on accomplishing M15 Research Vessel of the FIRST LEGO League 2024-2025 SUBMERGED Challenge using the Nautiq box robot. In this series of test runs, the goal is to achieve 10 out of 10 successful deliveries, with the robot pushing the loaded ship to its destination, releasing it cleanly, and moving to the other launch area without a single failed attempt.
The run uses a pinless attachment with a locking mechanism and friction pins to secure the cargo during movement and allow smooth release upon arrival. The precise programming and stable design ensure consistent performance across the trials.
Sand is considered completely cleared when the pull activator is past the line on the mat.
