Score
- If the water sample is completely outside the water sample area: 5
- If the seabed sample is no longer touching the seabed: 10
- If the plankton sample is no longer touching the kelp forest: 10
- If a piece of the trident is no longer touching the shipwreck: 20
- Bonus: If both pieces are no longer touching the shipwreck: 10 ADDED
FLLCasts Tip
This mission has four parts: The water sample must be completely outside the water sample area; the seabed sample must no longer be touching the seabed; the plankton sample must no longer be touching the kelp forest; and a piece of the trident must no longer be touching the shipwreck. If both pieces of the trident are no longer touching the shipwreck, you earn a bonus.
This mission is likely best accomplished in more than one run. Each sample must be collected in a different way:
- The Water Sample can be pushed to the base while the robot is moving, but this can be challenging if the reef segments are still in place.
- The Seabed Sample must be lifted up. You can use a beam or an axle as a lever for this.
- The Plankton Sample must be pulled. A passive latch attachment can be used, such as a beam pointed downward that can swing toward the robot but not toward the model. When the beam enters the loop, it gets locked in place. A support beam under the hinged beam will prevent the sample from falling out of the attachment.
- The Trident is the most difficult part of this mission. The best approach is to use a rubber-tipped end clip to catch the trident and lift it up from the shipwreck. This solution also requires precise movement and positioning of the robot.

FIRST LEGO League 2024-2025 SUBMERGED with SCRATCH - Solutions and Review with Nautiq Box Robot from LEGO Education SPIKE Prime
Ready to dive deep into the 2024-2025 FIRST LEGO League SUBMERGED season? In this hands-on course, we showcase and explain a series of expertly crafted example solutions using the versatile Nautiq box robot and powerful custom-built attachments.
Unlike others, we release our solutions only after the season ends, ensuring fair play while providing full transparency. What sets this course apart is our strong focus on multi-mission runs - watch and learn how to complete 3, 4, or even 5 missions in a single program. Then, we break everything down mission by mission so you can replicate, tweak, and fully understand the strategies and logic behind each run.
This course is more than a demonstration - it's a teaching tool. Whether you're a student eager to master robotics or a coach looking to elevate your team's performance, you'll gain practical insights into how to score more points efficiently and creatively in FLL competitions.
And with the Nautiq, the fun is just getting started! You’ll explore the power of gears, the magic of attachments, and the surprising capabilities of a compact robot that packs a serious punch. Get inspired, get building, and bring your FLL journey to the next level!
Before starting this course, we recommend reviewing the FIRST LEGO League robot game guide.

Run 7: M02, M14 – Deliver, Collect
In this lesson, we use the Nautiq box robot to complete a focused multi-mission run from the FIRST LEGO League 2024-2025 SUBMERGED challenge. The robot delivers the Shark for M02 Shark and collects the Trident Parts for M14 Sample Collection.
Precision is essential in this run, as the robot must accurately position itself to interact with both mission models. To achieve this, we use the Gyro sensor to improve alignment and ensure reliable performance.
