Retrieving the artifact once is satisfying; doing it ten times without touching the supports is the real test. This FIRST LEGO League UNEARTHED season video puts the Smaller Pancake box robot and the Careful Recovery attachment through ten runs of Mission 04.

Every attempt succeeds. The tutorial explains how exact base placement, firm gear engagement, and the geometry of the opening beams keep the sequence repeatable. Pay special attention to the exit from the mine: the attachment lifts the artifact high enough to clear the gray barrier, removing one of the mission's most dangerous failure points.

FIRST LEGO League 2025-2026 UNEARTHED with SCRATCH - Solutions and Review with Smaller Pancake Box Robot from LEGO Education SPIKE Prime
The FIRST LEGO League 2025-2026 UNEARTHED competition challenges teams to recover artifacts, work around delicate structures, and complete several actions efficiently. This course explores practical solutions using the compact Smaller Pancake box robot.
You’ll study a variety of mission strategies and attachment designs, including active and passive mechanisms, gears, hooks, rubber bands, gravity-powered actions, and alignment techniques. The tutorials explain not only what the robot does, but also why each design and programming decision improves the run.
Each main tutorial is paired with a 10 out of 10 reliability test, showing how consistently the solution performs and how details such as starting position, tire grip, attachment preparation, and mission-model movement can affect the result.
To support fair play, our complete mission solutions are published only after the season has ended. Before starting the course, we recommend reviewing the FIRST LEGO League robot game guide.
