In this video tutorial we accomplish the basketball mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2020 reply competition. We use the LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot called Gazon. You will learn the principles of accomplishing a mission of two parts - put the ball in the basket and lift the basket.

This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial demonstrating the accuracy of a Flip Attachment for the FIRST LEGO League 2020 Cell Phone Mission. The flip attachment flips a phone. Moves forward and flip it. This is a tricky business. It might not work. The trick is to approach the mission model from the right angle. In the tutorial you will see a demonstration and will learn how such a mission could be accomplished accurately with a LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor robot and attachment with gear wheels.

This video tutorial demonstrated the use of an active gear attachment for catching a wheel and pulling it. This is how we accomplish the Rowing Mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2021 competition. What you will learn is how such an attachment works. How you transfer power from the top of the robot where the motors are to the bottom of the robot where the catching mechanism is. Check out the building instructions for the attachment.

This FIRST LEGO League robotics video tutorial is about the Treadmill mission and how it could be accomplished. The mission is from FLL 2020 RePlay competition. Almost every year there is a mission of this type where the robot must spend a lot of time with the mission model in order to turn or lift something. These are quite interesting and challenging missions.

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 10 out of 10 tutorial is a complete uncut recording and it shows how the Chain Monster box robot accomplishes 5 missions in a single run and it does this 10 out of 10 times. It is from the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 robotics competition.

In this video tutorial the Chain Monster LEGO box robot uses a multi-purpose attachment to collect two elements from the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWERED field and these are the "water" units on the field. What's interesting is that the contain where the water units are stored could be closed and opened and this allows us to freely move while non of the water units are lost.

This is a video tutorial that demonstrates how to accomplish M06 and M07 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge competition. We use the Chain Monster box robot which is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot equipped with an active attachment with gear wheels, which engage the mission model’s gears to rotate the respective parts. The entire run takes less than 3 seconds, delivering a neat and precise performance.

In this video tutorial we demonstrate how to accomplish M03, M04, M14, and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge competition. We use the Chain Monster which is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot equipped with two pinless active attachments.

The side attachment uses a gear mechanism to press down a lever and drop the mini figures with loops. It has a more advanced construction with a special lock to prevent the attachment from rotating when mounting it on the robot. Pay attention that the lock should be removed before the start of the run.

We use a special construction to help us align the robot in the base to ensure the robot starts from the same place every time.
