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.
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.
Fast runs are only valuable when they survive repetition. This 10 out of 10 tutorial tests the Smaller Pancake box robot and the Tip the Scales attachment on Mission 10 in the FIRST LEGO League 2025-2026 UNEARTHED competition.
Rather than forcing the scale down, this solution lets gravity finish the job. In Mission 10: Tip the Scales from the FLL UNEARTHED season, the Smaller Pancake box robot uses a passive pinless attachment to lift the green cover just enough for the scale to tip, then catches the pan as it reverses.
Can a motor-free mechanism repeat a multi-mission run without adjustments? This 10 out of 10 tutorial follows the Smaller Pancake box robot and the Map Reveal and Mineshaft Explorer attachment through M02 and M03 in the FIRST LEGO League 2025-2026 UNEARTHED competition.
One attachment, two mission models, and a lot happening in only a few seconds. During the FLL UNEARTHED season, the Smaller Pancake box robot uses the M02 and M03 attachment to reveal the map, secure the third topsoil section, and send the minecart to the opposing team's field.
Ten consecutive attempts reveal far more than a single polished run. In this FLL 2025-2026 UNEARTHED competition reliability test, the Smaller Pancake box robot and the Surface Brushing attachment take on Mission 01.
Four jobs are packed into one compact run for Mission 01: Surface Brushing in the FIRST LEGO League 2025-2026 UNEARTHED competition. The Smaller Pancake box robot uses the Surface Brushing attachment to settle against the model, clear both soil deposits, capture the brush, and return to base.
Discover why this solution achieves a perfect 10 out of 10 successful runs in the FIRST LEGO League 2025-2026 UNEARTHED competition. Using the Smaller Pancake box robot together with this passive attachment, we analyze the design choices that make the completion of Mission 15: Site Marking and Mission 12: Salvage Operation remarkably consistent.
Learn how to complete Mission 15: Site Marking and Mission 12: Salvage Operation in the FIRST LEGO League 2025-2026 UNEARTHED competition using the Smaller Pancake box robot and this passive attachment.
