In this video tutorial we accomplish the basketball mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2020 reply competition. We use the LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot called Gazon. You will learn the principles of accomplishing a mission of two parts - put the ball in the basket and lift the basket.

In this video tutorial we accomplish the Basketball mission 10 out of 10 times. We use one of the more complex attachments for the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay competition. You will see an learn how to successfully and consistently complete a mission that requires the robot to put a ball into a basket and lift the basket, or lift the basket and put the ball into it.

This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial demonstrating the accuracy of a Flip Attachment for the FIRST LEGO League 2020 Cell Phone Mission. The flip attachment flips a phone. Moves forward and flip it. This is a tricky business. It might not work. The trick is to approach the mission model from the right angle. In the tutorial you will see a demonstration and will learn how such a mission could be accomplished accurately with a LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor robot and attachment with gear wheels.

This video tutorial demonstrated the use of an active gear attachment for catching a wheel and pulling it. This is how we accomplish the Rowing Mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2021 competition. What you will learn is how such an attachment works. How you transfer power from the top of the robot where the motors are to the bottom of the robot where the catching mechanism is. Check out the building instructions for the attachment.

Accuracy and consistency is the topic of this tutorial, as all 10 out of 10 tutorials are at FLLCasts. We use a robot build only from LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor parts and we accomplish the mission 10 out of 10 times. You will see how we use an active gear attachment to catch the wheel and pull it to the black circle, which accomplishes the mission

In this video tutorial we look at an active attachment that uses gear wheel and the attachment is general enough to be suitable for reuse. This means that a lot of different missions could be accomplished with the same attachment. The goal of the attachment is to transfer power to a lever through a system of axles and gear wheels. It is interesting that we change the orientation of the gear wheels.
