On every FIRST LEGO League competition and generally robotics competitions with LEGO robots, we build attachments to accomplish missions and we must accomplish the missions in a limited amount of time. Most of the time we can not accomplish the missions with a single attachment and we have to change attachments. This is where building robot attachments that are easy to remove really makes sense. In this tutorial we discuss some of the things that should be considered in the building Easy to Detach modules and attachments

This tutorial is the LEGO MIndstorms Robot Inventor version of the popular example with the SUV box robot from LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 How to on 'Easy Detach of Modules' in LEGO Mindstorms. Example with SUV Box Robot. The EV3 version had more parts. In the current Robot Inventor 51515 set we don't have enough parts to demonstrate the same principle, but we try to at least explain it
Number of hands
When building attachments consider the number of hands that you are using to remove and add attachments. If you can build an attachment, module of the robot, that could be added or remove with a single hand that it will be much easier during the competition
Direction of pins and locking
Some modules need to be locked. That's for sure. Consider the option to place the pins in a direction that would make unlocking easier.
Courses and lessons with this Tutorial
This Tutorial is used in the following courses and lessons
FIRST LEGO League with LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor. "Challenge" competition for 9-16 years old
The goal of this course is to take you through some of the most useful principles for building and using attachments to accomplish missions at FIRST LEGO League competitions. The whole course is based on a LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor and you need a single 51515 set and without additional parts (you will need a second color sensor for the lessons for using two color sensors, but feel free to skip them if you don't have it). For every mission there is a Scratch and Python program attachment. The course consists of 25 lessons suitable for beginner and advanced students. Every lessons consists of a video tutorial demonstrating the principle and how the mission could be accomplished along with building instructions for the robot, the attachment and programs for controlling the robot.

Easy to manually detach attachments
On every FIRST LEGO League competition and generally robotics competitions with LEGO robots, we build attachments to accomplish missions and we must accomplish the missions in a limited amount of time.
