Even a simple lifting mechanism depends on a precise approach. In this 10 out of 10 analysis of Mission 13: Statue Rebuild from the FIRST LEGO League 2025–2026 UNEARTHED competition, we put the Smaller Pancake box robot and the Statue Rebuild attachment through ten consecutive attempts.
A small turn creates the clearance needed for a clean lift in Mission 13: Statue Rebuild. In this FIRST LEGO League 2025-2026 UNEARTHED competition tutorial, the Smaller Pancake box robot powers an active lifting attachment to raise the statue from the right base.
Power and consistency can go hand in hand. In this ten-run FIRST LEGO League UNEARTHED season test, the Smaller Pancake box robot and the Silo attachment tackle Mission 8, demonstrating why three well-balanced strikes produce such dependable results.
Mission 8 is solved here with momentum rather than a delicate push. During the FLL 2025-2026 UNEARTHED competition, the Smaller Pancake box robot spins a weighted Silo attachment so two weighted LEGO bricks strike the red lever and eject the preserved food.
Can a run be 100% successful and still leave room for improvement? In this 10 out of 10 tutorial for the FLL UNEARTHED season, we evaluate the Smaller Pancake box robot with the shared M05-M07 attachment on Mission 5 and Mission 6.
Two neighboring missions become one efficient run in this FIRST LEGO League 2025-2026 UNEARTHED competition tutorial. The Smaller Pancake box robot carries the combined M05-M07 attachment to release the ore from Mission 6: Forge, raise Mission 5: Who Lived Here, and move the blocks toward the edge for later use.
Mission 7 looks playful in a single run; ten attempts show how much it depends on the table. In this FLL 2025 UNEARTHED competition test, the Smaller Pancake box robot uses the Heavy Lifting attachment after aligning against the wall.
This is not the usual straight trip from base to mission model. For Mission 7: Heavy Lifting in the FLL UNEARTHED season, the Smaller Pancake box robot deliberately travels outside the mat, uses the table wall as a reference, and reaches the Millstone with an active pinless attachment.
The hook can be engineered perfectly and still miss if the robot begins at the wrong angle. This ten-run analysis of Mission 9: What's on Sale in the FIRST LEGO League UNEARTHED season follows the Smaller Pancake box robot with its roof-and-market attachment.
A rotating hook does most of the heavy lifting in this solution for Mission 9: What's on Sale in the FLL 2025 UNEARTHED competition. The Smaller Pancake box robot uses the gear-driven M09 attachment to raise the roof, release it cleanly, and lift the market wares during the same return movement.
Small variations in the approach do not always have to change the score. In this 10 out of 10 test from the FLL 2025-2026 UNEARTHED competition, the Smaller Pancake box robot repeats Mission 11: Angler Artifacts with the same geared attachment ten times.
For Mission 11: Angler Artifacts in the FIRST LEGO League 2025-2026 UNEARTHED competition, the Smaller Pancake box robot does not simply drive into the model. With the geared Angler Artifacts attachment, it pivots into position, meshes with the mission gears, and raises both the flag and the artifact before heading toward the right base.
Mission 04 leaves almost no room for a careless approach. In this tutorial for the FLL 2025 UNEARTHED competition, the Smaller Pancake box robot works with the Careful Recovery attachment to enter the mine, close around the artifact, and lift it clear of the fragile supports.
In this video tutorial, we demonstrate a full run for the FIRST LEGO League 2024-2025 SUBMERGED challenge, completing all missions in a single sequence. Each mission is shown individually beforehand, with close-up views of how the attachments work and the principles behind their design. All attachments are pinless, making them quick to change during the run, though aligning and loading the robot still requires practice. The strategy involves moving from one base to the other while accomplishing as many missions as possible, including retrying those close to base when needed.
While the complete run takes longer than the official 2.5 minutes, the focus here is on demonstrating reliability, consistency, and the trade-offs between time and scoring points. In some cases, missions are skipped to focus on higher-value tasks, but in this run, we aim to complete them all. The result is a strong performance that comes close to the maximum possible score.
This video tutorial focuses on accomplishing M8 Artificial Habitat of the FIRST LEGO League 2024-2025 SUBMERGED Challenge using the Nautiq box robot (a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot). The run uses a simple active pinless attachment mounted at the front of the robot for precise engagement with the mission model.
The goal is a perfect 10 out of 10 runs by positioning all four crabs upright with their yellow bases touching the mat. You can find the full explaining tutorial here.
This video tutorial focuses on accomplishing M8 Artificial Habitat of the FIRST LEGO League 2024-2025 SUBMERGED Challenge using the Nautiq box robot (a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot). The run uses a simple active pinless attachment mounted at the front of the robot, designed for precise engagement with the mission model.
The goal is to position all four crabs upright with their yellow bases touching the mat for maximum points, a task requiring careful alignment and controlled movements. While it is possible to complete the mission with fewer crabs upright, this run is programmed for the full score, using dedicated movement commands in a separate run for maximum accuracy. This approach combines a reliable mechanical design with precise navigation to meet the mission’s demanding scoring conditions.
This video tutorial demonstrates a 10 out of 10 on M13 Change Shipping Lanes, along with partial completion of M09 Unexpected Encounter and M12 Feed the Whale in the FIRST LEGO League 2024-2025 SUBMERGED Challenge, using the Nautiq box robot (a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot).
In this video tutorial we focus on accomplishing a part of M08 of FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE season. The mission is to lift and unlock the lever to make room for rolling the camera. It's a simple action but requires the robot to be stable and accurate. We use the Chain Monster - a powerful LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot.
This video tutorial focuses on M01, M02, and M14 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge. The Chain Monster box robot (a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot) uses a single attachment to accomplish all three missions in sequence. First, it pushes the mission model, then presses down the next one, and finally collects some mini-figures.
The Load Cargo mission model could be accomplished by loading a cargo in a number of mission models on the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Cargo Connect field. In this video tutorial, we load the cargo on the platooning trucks. In the previous one, we load it on the trains.
In this video tutorial we demonstrate how to accomplish M09 of FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge. The robot is Chain Monster - a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot. It pulls the mission model and precisely positions it in the designated area. An interesting aspect is that the robot must rotate to position the loop correctly, so pay close attention when programming it.
In this video tutorial, we demonstrate a full run of all missions without pausing the recording. The competition is the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge, and the robot is the Chain Monster - a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot.
These kinds of runs are extremely useful for team preparation right before the competition, as they help team members improve their accuracy, speed, and self-control.
This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial in which the MiniBox robot accomplishes the M12, M13, and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge competition. The MiniBox is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot that uses detachable attachments.
In this run, the robot performs five actions: it collects the M15 minifigure and throws it backward, rotates the chicken for M12, and then pushes and pulls the M13 Craft Creator mission model. All of these actions are completed in under 15 seconds!
In this video tutorial, we demonstrate how the Chain Monster box robot delivers minifigures for M14 and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge robotics competition. The robot is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime model, equipped with a special attachment for precise delivery.
M14 and M15 are part of larger runs, but in this video, we focus exclusively on these two missions. Let's dive in!
This is a video tutorial that demonstrates how to accomplish M06 and M07 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge competition. We use the Chain Monster box robot which is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot equipped with an active attachment with gear wheels, which engage the mission model’s gears to rotate the respective parts. The entire run takes less than 3 seconds, delivering a neat and precise performance.
This video tutorial showcases how the MiniBox accomplishes five missions - M02, M03, M04, M05, M14, and M15 - of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge competition.
It’s a rather complex run, as the robot uses multiple attachments and performs several actions. The MiniBox, a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot, is designed to leave its attachments on the mat after completing each mission. Take a close look at the attachments and study the program thoroughly before launching the robot!
In this video tutorial, we demonstrate how to accomplish M11 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge competition. We use the Chain Monster - a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot equipped with gears and a pinless attachment that will rotate the M11 Light Show.
