FLLCasts Tip
M09 Unexpected Encounter has two parts: The unknown creature must be released, and it must be at least partly in the cold seep.
You could approach this mission by pushing the platform under the unknown creature to make it fall. A clever strategy is to equip your robot with a basket to catch the creature. Starting from the Blue base will allow you to reach the mission model in the fastest way.
To make it easier to deliver the unknown creature to the cold seep, you can directly leave the basket in the designated place. The creature is allowed to remain in contact with the basket at the end of the round.
Beware! Successfully delivering the unknown creature to the cold seep will make it more challenging to navigate the robot between the left and right sides in the northern part of the mat, so carefully plan your next runs.

Bonus Run: M5, M09, M10, M11 - Collect, Lift, Deliver, Align
This bonus lesson showcases a complex multi-mission run using the Nautiq box robot in the FIRST LEGO League 2024-2025 SUBMERGED challenge. The robot takes on several missions—M05 Angler Fish, M09 Unexpected Encounter, M10 Send Over the Submersible, M11 Sonar Discovery—along with collecting krill, plankton, seabed, and water samples.
Equipped with three custom attachments, including an aligning tool and electronically enhanced front and back components, the robot executes a bold, efficient strategy. While accuracy is lower due to the run's complexity, it’s a strong example of how calculated risk can pay off—especially when only your best match score counts in competition.
