This video tutorial is about a detachable attachment. In various FIRST LEGO League competitions there are missions that could be accomplished with an attachment and when you accomplish the mission you must somehow leave the attachment along with the mission model. Probably as a support - most of the time it is as a support. But we've seen some pretty powerful concepts that include things like leaving a clock mechanism that will continue to work for 30 seconds accomplishing the mission.

Why detachable
Main reason is the sometimes it is useful to support a mission model after accomplishing the mission. We once saw a team that left a 'clock mechanism' on the field that in the course of 30 seconds was pushing on a mission model to achieve the maximum amount of points. In the same time the robot was doing other missions. All because the "clock mechanism" was detachable.
What to do with this tutorial
Build the mission, build the attachment, build the robot. All of them could be built from a single LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor 51515 set. This means it is easy to get them to work even if you have a single set. Then accomplish the mission - the programs are in the lesson. Then experiment. How could you build a different detachable attachment. Try to build one without the instructions.
Courses and lessons with this Tutorial
This Tutorial is used in the following courses and lessons
FIRST LEGO League with LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor. "Challenge" competition for 9-16 years old
The goal of this course is to take you through some of the most useful principles for building and using attachments to accomplish missions at FIRST LEGO League competitions. The whole course is based on a LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor and you need a single 51515 set and without additional parts (you will need a second color sensor for the lessons for using two color sensors, but feel free to skip them if you don't have it). For every mission there is a Scratch and Python program attachment. The course consists of 25 lessons suitable for beginner and advanced students. Every lessons consists of a video tutorial demonstrating the principle and how the mission could be accomplished along with building instructions for the robot, the attachment and programs for controlling the robot.
