In this tutorial, we share a tip for organizing robot attachments in the FIRST LEGO League challenge. By designing attachments to hook onto the table edge, you can keep them close at hand for quick swaps, saving time and reducing mistakes.
Options include building hooks into the attachment design or using small separate hooks. This method is used by many teams and is a practical way to stay organized during competitions.
In this video tutorial, we want to discuss something that we noticed. It's very useful when attachments are built. It's useful to build them in such a way so that you can attach them to the board of the table, and in this way you can hang them there. And it's useful because you can manage them. You can have a lot of them near you, and it's faster to pick them up, to leave them, to change them. So if you manage to build the attachments in a way that you can keep them near you, you'll be able to change the attachments faster, to be easier to organize them.
So there are a couple of ways we figured out to do this. We can have additional parts that help us attach the whole attachment to the table,
like hooks.
If we can, we use the attachment. If we can't, we can use a small hook and just attach the attachment there. Try to use it. We've seen it with a couple of teams that are also using this approach. It's useful and it's a nice way to organize the attachments.

Ready to dive deep into the 2024-2025 FIRST LEGO League SUBMERGED season? In this hands-on course, we showcase and explain a series of expertly crafted example solutions using the versatile Nautiq box robot and powerful custom-built attachments.
Unlike others, we release our solutions only after the season ends, ensuring fair play while providing full transparency. What sets this course apart is our strong focus on multi-mission runs - watch and learn how to complete 3, 4, or even 5 missions in a single program. Then, we break everything down mission by mission so you can replicate, tweak, and fully understand the strategies and logic behind each run.
This course is more than a demonstration - it's a teaching tool. Whether you're a student eager to master robotics or a coach looking to elevate your team's performance, you'll gain practical insights into how to score more points efficiently and creatively in FLL competitions.
And with the Nautiq, the fun is just getting started! You’ll explore the power of gears, the magic of attachments, and the surprising capabilities of a compact robot that packs a serious punch. Get inspired, get building, and bring your FLL journey to the next level!
Before starting this course, we recommend reviewing the FIRST LEGO League robot game guide.
This useful tips lesson is all about handling attachments in base during the FIRST LEGO League 2024-2025 SUBMERGED challenge. When you're juggling multiple tools for different missions, smart organization and quick swaps can save precious time. Learn how to stay organized and keep your runs smooth and stress-free.
