FLL 2023: Chain Monster accomplishing more than 92% of the missions (around 510 points) of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge Pro Preview

In this video tutorial, we accomplish the whole field from FIRST LEGO League 2023 MASTERPIECE. These are like 10 runs from base. 9, 10, 11 - depending on how we do it. And in these runs, we go from base, we accomplish a couple of missions, we return back.

Let's look at the whole run. There are specific tutorials for the specific missions, and you can check them in the course. But the whole run, it's fun because we can discuss some strategy. There is this strategy of getting the easiest points first, which means if there is a mission model right next to you in the base. Try to accomplish this mission model first. Then, as you currently see, you move from one base to the other, and on your way, you accomplish some of the mission models, not all of them. Because you can always return back to base. And with the current rules for FIRST LEGO League, it's quite easy. In previous years, there was only one base. Here, there are two bases. This makes it a lot, like exponentially, easier because there is no longer a far side of the field. And you can just move the robot from one side to the other, and you can touch it on the other side. Previously, it was difficult because you had to return it only to one base.

So, try to group the mission models in a way that you go. You make the easiest points first and you return back to base. You change the attachment, you go for the next one or two mission models. You return back to base. You go for the next one or two mission models. You return back to base. And one or two times you change bases. This is a good strategy for this setup of the field. I hope that in the next years we'll see again only one base because it was a little bit more challenging when there was only one base, but I guess it's more fun when there are two bases. I don't know.

Here is, for example, a run from one base where we go to the closest mission models. We accomplish them and return back to base. It takes five seconds to go from base to accomplish them. It takes more time to place the attachments on the robot. Again, another mission where we just start from base. We push.

We place the next attachments on the robot. There is this thing that we should constantly practice - to put the attachments faster. Now, we don't practice here, and there should be four people around the table. Here, there are only two. And this also gives us a little bit more time to explain some of the things that are happening. But you should practice. You should practice to place the attachments really, really fast.

The next run from base, it will take the robot from the base on the left to the base on the right of the recording. And on its way, the robot will accomplish one, two, three, four, five - around six missions, I think, or at least six actions. It will deliver the Masterpiece piece, some of the minifigures. It will press down, it will deliver, precisely drop,

and it will go to the other side of the field.

This robot is called Chain Monster box robot. It has a huge chain around it, and this helps us control four different wheels and add attachments to these four different wheels.

Two more runs.

We try to combine different missions into one run. Two or three missions a run. Two or three missions a run. You accomplish those that are really close, and then you're trying to combine. And combining two or three missions in a run is ok. Don't try to combine six. We do it. There are some recordings for this. It's a little bit more difficult. Two or three is okay. If you can combine them all, perfect. If you can combine 10 missions, perfect. But generally, there's not enough time during the season. Last mission. Now, try to replicate - not the whole run, but the small runs. That's it. Full run with the Chain Monster on FIRST LEGO League 2023.
