We are not releasing any "solutions". As mentors, there are some directions we could give. As a team, you could learn from our tutorials and building instructions and develop your own solutions to the missions. When you do, send us some pictures and videos :)
A very good description of the missions could be found at the first lego league site
Approach
What we could do as mentors is to help with directions and questions based on experience and tutorials from previous years. We plan to update the page a few more times during the season, so check for updates from time to time.

Missions Inspiration and Directions
Mission and tags
Comments
Look for inspiration at:
01. Pipe removal
loop collect,
passive/active attachment
It's just one loop, so probably the simplest attachment will do the job. However, the loop should be lifted during collection, so it's best to go with the rubber band attachments
02. Flow
rotate lever,
passive/active lever
You should rotate the lever just 90 degrees so it can be achieved with simple passive lever and movement of the robot, as well as with active lever. I would suggest to take a look at the section with attachments from course 6 or just have a passive lever.
03. Pump addition
push precise,
passive
It could be achieved with active attachment, but I believe that a passive attachment and just precise movement of the robot around the field would do the job.
04. Rain
push,
passive
Just passive lever, which is high enough will do the job. Then the robot move and the lever push the mission objective.
05. Filter
push,
passive
Just simple push with the robot.
06. Water Treatement
push,
active lever
Take a look at the attachments from course six. Most of them will do the job.
07. Fountain
drop in place,
active claw
08. Manhole Covers
drop in place,
active claw
We actually don't have a lot of resources for a similar mission. We would try to build after this competition
09. Tripod
push,
passive
It could be achieved with active attachment, but I believe that a passive attachment and just precise movement of the robot around the field would do the job.
10. Pipe replacement
drop loop precise,
active claw
11. Pipe construction
drop/push precise,
12. Sludge
drop/push precise
Again, we don't have a specific resource, but it is just pushing with the robot
13. Flower
drop in place,
active claw
Basically the same as the fountain
14. Flower Bonus
drop in place,
active claw
Same as the flower, but more precise and on smaller scale
15. Water Well
push,
with the robot/passive attachment
16. Fire
with the robot/passive attachment
17. Water Collection
with the robot/passive attachment
Ok, we would have to think about it :)
18. Slingsot
with the robot/passive attachment
19. Faucet
rotate lever
active attachment
We would have think about this
