You need to have a long panel attached to one side of the robot. It needs to be one or two LEGO units above the balanced position of the elevator. Then your robot needs to pass slowly next to the elevator and push it with the panel until the elevator reaches its balanced position. The panel is used because it won't let the elevator get past the balanced position. The panel needs to be attached horizontally.
This mission is difficult because you can very easily lose the balance point and the elevator will fall.

You probably know that every year we're releasing a Solutions and Review course for the missions of FIRST LEGO League competitions challenges. This year the situation with the competition is a bit different, but here we are - sitting here, acting kinda normal, figuring out what robot should we build to accomplish every mission 10 times in a row.
This video is part of a series where we show you how our Box Robot accomplished the M08 Elevator mission with 100% accuracy. The idea is that the robot pushes with enought force in the right spot, which makes the elevator turn over. The interesting thing is that the Dominator robot moves the lever after it pushes the elevator. This makes the move back possible, because the lever is now not in the way of the mission model.

In this tutorial we will use Whakatae - LEGO Education SPIKE Prime Box robot to complete a mission run from the FIRST LEGO League 2019-2020 competition for the M08 Elevator mission. We accomplish 10 out of 10 in this mission. A similar approach is demonstrated with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 at FLL 2019: Accomplish every time. M08 Elevator. 10 out of 10 successful runs
