FLL 2026: Rules for M02 Exploding Seeds FIRST LEGO League 2026-2027 BIOGLOW Founders Edition Challenge

Score

• Seeds no longer touching the stalk: 10 each

FLLCasts Tip

This mission can be solved with a small fork-shaped attachment that comes down from above or approaches from the side to pull the seeds free. The attachment can be passive and activated by the mission model, or active if that makes the mechanism easier to control.

Because the released Seeds are also used in M14 Seeds of Renewal, it is useful to add a basket or fence to the robot to collect them. Make the collecting area larger than the Seed rings so the pieces are less likely to escape when they detach from the Stalk.

Precise alignment helps because the Seed rings are small. A guide or aligner can square the robot to the model. Another option is to insert an axle from the side and then pull the Seeds away; this can reduce the need for very precise positioning.
