It is a good practice every season to spend a few dollars (~$50) to purchase additional parts. In this way, in just 2-3 seasons you will have a large set of parts that you can use to build all kinds of attachments. You can of course spend a lot more upfront, but it is good to start small and learn what parts are generally available on the market and how they can be used to build successful attachments.

During the season, when participating in the events, you will be able to see other teams and how they build attachments. You can get inspiration about what additional parts you should have after the season. With this tutorial, we want to just introduce you to the concept and that "almost all LEGO is allowed at FLL".

FIRST LEGO League recommended additional parts and how to use them
Very often we need additional parts to build more complex attachments to increase our chance of winning the competition. These are parts outside of the LEGO Education SPIKE and LEGO Mindstorms sets. That is why, most teams decide to purchase parts that are not included in the official sets.
The FLLCasts team have prepared a list of recommended additional parts each team should have in order to be more successful. Of course, you can decide whether to buy more or less of each item depending on your budget.
Parts could often be found on bricklink.com and rebrickable.com
In the following course we would focus on the type of the recommended parts, share a list of them and publish tutorials on how these parts could be used to accomplish different missions. Our goal is to answer the questions "What could be done with LEGO?", "What parts are available 'out there'?
