Have you ever had many blocks of your program that repeat? This block will shorten your program significantly when this happens!

Sounds easy, eh? Try it for a bit and come back to read this tutorial!

We already know how to move the whole robot. How can we move only one motor?

How much does a robot move when it turns 90°? How does this compare to a wheel turning 90°? What’s the difference?

Energy storage mission from FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 is again a two parts mission where we have to drop a few energy units in the mission model, but we also have to pull part of the mission model. In this video tutorial we demonstrate how the Chain Monster LEGO box robot accomplishes this with a multi purpose attachment for box robots.

This M12 Water reservoir from FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 is accomplish in two part with the Chain Monster box robot. The first part is in a previous tutorial. This is the second part where we collect the third water unit. We use a passive attachment to collect this unit.

In this video tutorial we accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWERED mission called M04 Solar Farm. We use the chain monster box robot along with a passive attachment that helps us collect 3 of the energy units. The interesting thing about the mission is the collection of the units, of course, but also the way this robot manoeuvres when there is not enough space. It aligns to the lines, it uses the color and motion sensors. Really advance way to align the robot.

In this video tutorial the Chain Monster LEGO box robot uses a multi-purpose attachment to collect two elements from the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWERED field and these are the "water" units on the field. What's interesting is that the contain where the water units are stored could be closed and opened and this allows us to freely move while non of the water units are lost.

In this video tutorial we pull the Smart grid mission model from the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 competition. The goal is to lift the hand to connect with the hand on the other team field. We do this my pulling on the attachment and we reuse the same "hand" that we have for collecting.

In this video tutorial the Chain Monster box robot accomplishes a mission that requires two actions. We should lift up (lever) and push almost at the same time on the mission model for it to release the batteries. These mission model is from the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWERED competition.

In this video tutorial we accomplish 5 missions in a single run with the Chain Monster box robot. It accomplishes 5 missions from the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 robotics competition.

This video tutorials shows how we accomplish a specific mission model from FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWERED robotics competition. The mission is called - M11 Hydroelectic Dam and in the tutorial we accomplish part of it. In other tutorials when we get back with the SPIKE Kriket box robot we have more time to accomplish the rest of the missions.

In this LEGO video tutorial we accomplish 3 missions with the Kriket box robot. A number of actions are performed like Lever, Lift, Drop, Pull, Align. This tutorials shows how to accomplish missions models that are closely positioned next to each other.

In this video tutorial we look at programming the Kriket box robot to accomplish 5 missions. It is a long program for a long run that's why we are dedicating a separate tutorial. We are using LEGO Education SPIKE Prime Word Blocks app.

This tutorial demonstrates how we accomplish 5 missions in a row with a single robot and three attachments. This is a true multiple missions run for the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWERED. We Drop parts, we pull from the Smart grid, we push a lever, we collect a few energy units and we deliver the dinosaur toy.

In this video tutorial we accomplish 3 missions from the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWER robotics competition. The three missions are wind turbine, television, rechargeable battery. The robot uses a program with sensor compared to the previous way we've accomplished the missions with the same robot.

In this video tutorial we accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2022 missions called Wind Turbine, Television and Rechargeable Battery. We demonstrate how 3 missions could be accomplished in the single run and in the same time with a single attachment.

In this video tutorial, we demonstrate the accomplishment of three missions in a single run. The competition is FIRST LEGO League 2022/2023 SUPERPOWERED and the missions involve carrying and delivering a dinosaur toy, delivering energy units, and delivering the innovation project model.

In this video tutorial, we accomplish three missions in a row. It is a little longer and more detailed tutorial, but hey, 3 missions, one after the other. These are the Wind Turbine, where we have to push 3-4 times and collect the energy units, the Watch Television, where we reach the mission model and slightly push, and, of course, the Rechargeable Battery - where we collect the energy units.

This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial where we deliver and drop precisely to complete a FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Cargo Connect mission. We reuse the same attachment as in other missions to demonstrate a reusable attachment.

The Load Cargo mission model could be accomplished by loading a cargo in a number of mission models on the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Cargo Connect field. In this video tutorial, we load the cargo on the platooning trucks. In the previous one, we load it on the trains.

In this video tutorial, we demonstrate a reusable attachment. It is the same attachment we've previously used for two other missions. Sometimes we can build such attachments - one attachment that can complete several missions. Yes, the mission is similar - it is Load Cargo, but we are loading the cargo in different places on the field, and that's important.

This is a precise drop tutorial where we demonstrate how to accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Load Cargo mission that requires us to precisely drop a cargo into the drain. It is not an easy task, but it has a trick. A trick that allows us to 'shake' the cargo a little bit. The attachment is also auto-correcting to improve consistency. Use this principle whenever you need to drop things.

In this video tutorial, we accomplish a FIRST LEGO League mission called The Bridge. We demonstrate how to use a really simple active attachment where the goal of the mission is to push down both parts of the bridge. We do not enter into the programming and we leave it up to you as an exercise.

In this video tutorial, we accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 mission called Platooning Trucks. The goal is to connect the two mission models (trucks) to each other and then connect them both to the bridge. It's quite an interesting mission as it involves three mission models.

In this video tutorial, we carry, deliver and drop a large object with an attachment that is much more stable than the basic. We get out of the base, and we actually carry the model. This attachment is also auto-correcting as it has a guiding beam at the front, and even when the robot makes a mistake, we can successfully accomplish the mission.

This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial on a basic approach for one of the unique challenges in FIRST LEGO League competitions. This basic approach to a solution is not very consistent, and in some of the next tutorials, we will present a new solution. But we decided to record it to demonstrate how reliable this attachment is when it comes to carrying large objects. That could give you ideas of things to avoid.
