Score
- Krill at least partly in the whale’s mouth: 10 each
FLLCasts Tip
M12 Feed the Whale has two parts: First, the robot needs to collect the krill, and then the krill must be at least partly in the whale’s mouth. Remember that this mission has No Equipment Constraint!
In this mission, the robot must collect some or all of the krill. The three krill near the whale are easy to collect. The one in the northwest region is a bit more challenging due to the reef segments, water sample, and four surrounding mission models. The most difficult krill to collect is located almost between the shipwreck, just south of them. It’s a good idea to collect the krill in different runs as the robot passes by, since they are spread out across the mat.
It’s also beneficial to collect all the krill before feeding the whale. To feed the whale, you can manually open its mouth or press the yellow platform to open it. You can use a passive attachment that is activated by the whale’s mouth to release the krill.

Run 10: M11, M12 – Drop, Rotation work
In this lesson, we use the Nautiq box robot to complete M11 Sonar Discovery and M12 Feed the Whale from the FIRST LEGO League 2024-2025 SUBMERGED challenge. While most of the run involves basic maneuvering, the sonar mission introduces a clever use of a rotating hook mechanism.
The hook first rotates backward to catch the sonar, then forward to complete the action. Due to the size of the sonar handle, the robot also needs a small forward adjustment to avoid getting stuck and ensure a smooth rotation.
