FLL 2026: Rules for M06 Leafcutter Frenzy FIRST LEGO League 2026-2027 BIOGLOW Founders Edition Challenge

Score

• The ant is touching the nest, and the leaf fragments are contained within the nest: 10 each fragment

FLLCasts Tip

There are three straightforward ways to approach this mission, using a simple attachment or even no attachment at all. The first is to push the ant mechanism inward slowly, at a speed that keeps the leaf fragments from jumping out.

A second option is a slightly more complex attachment that acts like a small roof above the leaves. As the robot pushes, the roof keeps the fragments from escaping. The robot could even leave this cover on the model if your overall strategy allows it.

A third option is to engage the large gear and rotate it. For this approach, come from the left launch area and use the wall behind the mission model for alignment. Approaching from the left also allows the cover to be smaller because it can shield all of the leaves at once.
