This is a video tutorial on accomplishing M12 and M13 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge. We've decided to combine the two missions and approach M12 in a slightly different way - by activating a gear wheel and thus rotate the chicken. The mission is accomplished in almost no time and the result is flawless. The robot is Chain Monster, a powerful LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot.

In this video tutorial, we accomplish two missions from FIRST LEGO League 2023 MASTERPIECE. First, we have to push a part of the mission model. Then as we push, we must pull back another part. And there is a story behind this mission model. The essence is that these are two actions: push and then pull. After that, after we push and pull, we decided to accomplish the other mission model, which is about rotating this chicken to the other side. What we should do is to probably pull, or do some rotation work. This is what we are kind of expected to do. To do this pulling-pushing a couple of times, engaging with the lever. But that's too much work. So we are not doing it like this. We found a better way. And we'll see this because we try to engage with the gear wheel. Let's see how we do it. Start, move from base, push, rotate, move back, and pull. Quite interesting. Seeing it from a different angle: push, do the rotation work, and return back to base. That will be very interesting to reproduce on your side. One more time, but from a different angle - the goal here is to see how the gears connect, and that allows us to do the rotation work really fast. We don't have to push and pull and lose time. It's quite interesting. So this here at the front are two or three gear wheels. It depends on how you want to build it. And when you move, you don't even have to be that precise because you can put a few gear wheels right there. And as you move, the two mechanisms will connect. Try to replicate the attachment and the mission models. Try to reproduce the behavior of the robot. And try to accomplish the missions on your side.

FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE solutions and review with Chain Monster box robot from LEGO Education SPIKE Prime
In this course, we demonstrate and explain example solutions for the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE competition using the Chain Monster box robot as a base, with custom-built attachments. Every year, we share our solutions and insights only after the season is over. The course is unique in its focus on multiple missions in a single run, showcasing runs that accomplish 3, 4, and even 5 missions. We then dive into the details of each specific mission. As you follow the course, try replicating the solutions to better understand the programs and explanations. This approach teaches students and teachers the principles of accomplishing missions in FLL robotics competitions and how to help your team score more points.
Before starting this course, we recommend reviewing the FIRST LEGO League robot game guide.
