The attachment also makes a very good use of rubber bands.

In this video tutorial we demonstrate a Grab attachment build from LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor 51515 set. The goal of the grab attachment is to accomplish the mission of bringing loops back to base without loosing or dropping them when returning. The principle of the grab attachment also demonstrates how to have a a locking mechanism. In this way there is not way to the loop to escape.

This video tutorial demonstrates an attachment that flips a mission model. The mission model is attached to the field, but it contains a lever. This lever must be flipped from one side to the other. There is a switch. We use a pinless active attachment with gear wheels, and you can see how this works in the tutorial. There is no use of sensors as we don't need them. We will leave the alignment and positioning for some other tutorials.

In this video tutorial we demonstrate how the robot could accomplish the Power Switch mission. Power Switch consists of a cube with a lever and the lever should be rotate to 180 degrees. This mission model was very close to a FIRST LEGO League 2012 competition mission which was called - Oven. The robot, the attachment adn the mission model are built form a single LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor 51515 set and with the tutorial you will learn how to use an active attachment with 2 gear wheels to complete such missions.

This LEGO robotics video tutorial is a 10 out of 10 run of the one of the most complex missions at the FIRST LEGO League 2021 RePlay competition. As the mission has three parts we are measuring the success rate of each part of the mission. What you can learn from this tutorial is how to achieve three missions in a single run including line following and a lot of aligning

This robotics video tutorial is about the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay competition and how we accomplish the Slide mission with a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot. The goal of the Slide mission is to collect two LEGO Mini figures and bring them back to base. We are demonstrating a simple attachment that collects 2 figures placed in an add way. The whole attachment must bring one of the figures up and then back.

In this video tutorial we accomplish the Cell Phone mission from the FIRST LEGO League robotics competition, season 2020-2021. The goal of the mission is to flip a phone. There were a couple of missions in the past with one important mission in 2017 that was very similar. It is a 10 out of 10 tutorial which means we accomplish the cell phone mission every time.

In this LEGO robotics video tutorial we accomplish Weight Machine mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2021 RePlay robotics competition. The goal of the competition is to lift a weight. The mission model resembles a weight machine, and is actually a lever. There are three different levels and you earn different points depending on the level. The attachment for this mission model uses rubber bands and lifts the mission model.

This short animation demonstrates a really useful principle for FIRST LEGO League competition and this is how to use the Inertia of the robot to trigger an attachment that will do the work for us. It is very useful as we don't have to use the motors of the robot and we can afford to use the motors for other things.

This FIRST LEGO League robotics video tutorial is about the Treadmill mission and how it could be accomplished. The mission is from FLL 2020 RePlay competition. Almost every year there is a mission of this type where the robot must spend a lot of time with the mission model in order to turn or lift something. These are quite interesting and challenging missions.

The Cell Phone mission is part of the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay competition. The goal of the mission is to flip the Cell Phone. In this video tutorial we use a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot to flip the cell phone. This mission is similar to the FLL 2017: How to accomplish Manhole Cover (08th) Mission in FIRST LEGO League 2017-2018.

In this video tutorial, we demonstrate how to gently push an object to accomplish the mission. "Gently" means that we are pushing but not with force. If we push using force, the mission model will fall, and we will not accomplish the mission. We use LEGO Education SPIKE Prime and the Ultrasonic Sensor.

With this animation we demonstrate an example for a quick pinless attachment that could be used to collect loops. Loops is one of the most common missions at FIRST LEGO League competitions. We use the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor set to build the attachment, the mission model and the robot. They are all from the same attachment. In the live video in the same lesson we enter into more details about the attachment and we describe its idea

10 out of 10 video tutorial for Rowing Machine mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2021 RePlay robotics competition. In the tutorial you will see how to accomplish the mission almost every time. This is a mission that requires a lot of precision so naturally it is difficult to accomplish it every time, but with the right attachment for the LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot it is achievable

This video tutorial is about how to accomplish the Rowing Machine mission in the FIRST LEGO League 2021 RePlay robotics competition. The Rowing machine mission model consists of a wheel that should be pushed or pulled and will lift two other wheels, just like a real Rowing Machine. What you will get from this tutorial is an example of how to build a robot that is very precise. The attachment is simple, but the programming is more difficult. You must first align to a line, and then to a wall and then make a precise turn with the robot to accomplish the mission with our attachment.

Step Counter mission model is one of the more interesting mission models at the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay competition. There is a locking mechanism that does not allow us to just push on the mission model to accomplish it, you must push it really slow and to do this 10 out of 10 times it is challenging.

In this video tutorial we accomplish the Boccia mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay competition. We use LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor robot. In this mission we use an attachment that does three things in the same time - align, push one lever and drop a couple of boxes in a target. It is a complex attachment and it is worth the watch.

This is a true 10 out of 10 video tutorial. The robot accomplishes the Weight Machine mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2021 RePlay competition every single time. The attachment demonstrate a mechanism that performs and is stable on every try

This is a 10 out of 10 video tutorial that is different from the rest. We demonstrate how difficult it is to accomplish a mission and we use an attachment that is working 5 out of 10 times. Our goal with the video is to give everybody the understanding that taking your time to accomplish a mission is the right thing. Most of the 10 out of 10 tutorials at FLLCasts contain solutions and approaches that are working in a repeatable fashion. Not this one. See how difficult it is to accomplish a mission and that we also make mistakes.

This FRIST LEGO League video tutorial is about he Boccia Share mission from FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay competition. In the tutorial we demonstrate how to push on a lever to release a mission model part - in this case a box. You have the choice before the competition to cooperate with the other team and to decide if you are going to do the blue or the red box.

In this FIRST LEGO League video tutorial we accomplish the Step Counter mission from the FLL 2020 RePlay mission. The mission model is quite interesting as it can not be pushed fast and it can not be pushed slowly, because it will jam. The robot must push it with the right speed and this proves to be difficult.
