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 do a 10 out of 10 for a complex mission model from 2023 MASTERPIECE. We have to push, we have to activate the lever. We have to activate another lever. And we have to deliver a minifigure. 10 out of 10 for different actions, three missions. Let's see.
We start the robot from base, and let's use the opportunity with this tutorial to look at the actions - a little bit more closely, and how consistent and reliable the robot could be with this specific mission model. It's a complex mission model. It has three things that should be accomplished. First, the push. You see how we align there with these beams that are at the front of the robot that are black. We align to the mission model, and when we align, we lock ourselves. We lock the robot, and we know where the robot is in relation to the mission model. This helps us. Let's see it again. We align, and then we know where we are.
Always try to align to the mission model, if you can, if the mission model supports it. The next thing is this axle that is rotating the red one, and it's rotating in one direction, and there is a gray axle at the bottom that's rotating in a different direction. You see the axle, it's like there is a differential. Check out the building instructions for this attachment, and you'll see that there is a differential there that allows us to do this. We can do this. We can rotate in different directions.
One motor is controlling, but we rotate in different directions.
The third very interesting idea for this robot to make it more consistent and reliable is that when we rotate the axles in different directions, we also release a side of the attachment to fall down. But to make it a 10 out of 10, you see how here it falls down and delivers the minifigures. But to make it a 10 out of 10, what we are doing is we are placing a small rubber band right there. It's a yellow rubber band. And the reason is we want, when the attachment falls, to drop slowly because otherwise the minifigures, could go out of the container. And we don't want this. We want them to be dropped precisely, slowly, and this makes it a lot more consistent and reliable. Perfect attachment, 10 out of 10 every time. As with all recent 10 out of 10 tutorials, I'll leave it up to you to watch till the end. Try to replicate the behavior of the robot. Try to build this attachment for this mission model. Use the alternative mission model instructions if you don't have the original parts. Try to build this attachment. You have the instruction for the attachment. You have the instruction for the robot. You have the program. Build them, replicate them, and reproduce the behavior of the robot. I'll see you in the next tutorial.

In this course, we demonstrate and explain example solutions for the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE competition using the MiniBox box robot as a base, with custom-built attachments. Every year, we share our solutions and insights only after the season is over. The course is unique in its focus on multi-mission runs, showcasing runs that accomplish 3, 4, and even 5 and 6 missions. We then dive into the details of each specific mission. As you follow the course, try replicating the solutions to better understand the programs and explanations. This approach teaches students and teachers the principles of accomplishing missions in FLL robotics competitions and how to help your team score more points. Moreover, with the MiniBox, you will definitely have fun leaving the attachments on the mat. That will save you some precious time preparing for the next run!
Before starting this course, we recommend reviewing the FIRST LEGO League robot game guide.
Watch the tutorials below to learn how the missions can be accomplished. Once you've reviewed all the tasks, try replicating the robot's behavior and completing the missions on your own!
