Video tutorials

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.

This video tutorial focuses on accomplishing M06 Raise the Mast and M07 Kraken’s Treasure 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 connected to the bottom of the robot, featuring side guides with stoppers for precise mast lifting and a central rubberized section to catch the treasure chest.

The challenge in this run is to collect the treasure before raising the mast fully, as the mission model locks the chest if the mast is lifted too far too soon. The robot must push and lift with great precision, stopping at exactly the right point to avoid triggering the lock, then continue raising the mast to complete the mission. This sequence demonstrates careful mechanical design, accurate programming, and precise timing to accomplish two interconnected missions in one smooth run.

The goal of this course is to prepare students and teachers for the challenges on FIRST LEGO League competition and as an introduction here are a few guidance on how to use to course, what to do and what not to do

The robot moves your Innovation Project onto the RePLAY logo or the gray area around the bench (M04).

“Doing the same with less” can save time and space.

The less often you interrupt the robot outside home, the more points you keep.

The robot collects health units from around the field and moves them to target areas.

Before the match, you hand select the machine’s lever setting. During the match, the robot moves the lever until the little yellow stopper falls.

The robot moves the free wheel out of the large circle and into the small target circle.

The robot spins the rollers to move the pointer as far clockwise as possible.

The robot flips the cell phone white side up.

The robot flips tires so their white centers face up and moves them into their large target circle.

Boccia is an interactive mission with the opposing team. Talk with the other team so the robots send matching colored cubes onto the opposite field.

The robot is dancing on the dance floor at the end of the match.

The robot passes completely under the bar any time. Separately, it is held off the mat by the bar at the end of the match.

The robot raises the crate up the post and gets a cube into it.

The robot removes the backrest, flattens the bench, and gets cubes into the hopscotch spaces.

The robot slides the people (called “slide figures”) down the slide and moves them to other areas.

The robot slides the step counter slow and steady. The farther the “walk,” the better.
