@@6006TechWarriors Thank you!

@@BeeRandom1 Hi. In the “Events” category of the Spike App Word Blocks you have a block “broadcast [message1]”. Insert this before the move in your program and in the dropdown select “New message” and give it a unique name. Then pick a “When I receive [message1]” start block and place it anywhere on the programming canvas (preferably next to the broadcast message block) and select the unique name. Then you can add the action you want to perform in parallel. You can use wait blocks or adjust the speed for either action to get the timing right. We also suggest to add a “stop [all]” block at the end of the parallel action and change the dropdown to “this stack”. Let us know if you need more help. ⚙️⚙️

@@6006TechWarriors Thanks So Much!!

@@HELLO-io9st Hi. The robot does not have to return to home at the end of the match and can be anywhere on the table. You can use this strategically to “park” the robot in a spot that is convenient for the match. On page 19 of the robot game rule book, in section 24 it states: “When something is required to be “completely in” an area, the lines and airspace above that area count as “in” unless otherwise mentioned.” Since there is no other requirement mentioned other than “If the unknown creature is at least partly in the cold seep”, our solution for that part of the mission is valid. Let us know if you need any more clarifications. ⚙️⚙️

@ 👍🏻 Thank’s

@@katharinekey7635 Hi. It is difficile to diagnose without seeing your code. If you don’t mind send us a contact request on Instagram and we can exchange pictures to help you. ⚙️⚙️

@@HELLO-io9st Ciao. Yes, absolutely. You can start the robot from either one of the launch areas. During the match though the robot can only start from the launch area on the side where it last came home. So if you want to start your next program from the blue side, the robot has to travel there first. ⚙️⚙️

yes you are so right you ate sis

@@ourlittlestepstowardslearn6730 Did you reset the yaw angle at the beginning of your program or before your turn? In which direction are you trying to turn and by how many degrees? ⚙️⚙️

@@I_am_vidhu Hi. We use the Spike Prime Word Blocks but are using MyBlocks including math operators and the yaw angle sensor reading for straight driving and precise turning. ⚙️⚙️

@ProDoggamr Hi. Yes, we have a StudIO cad file for any of our attachments.

@@Nuraly-fc4ud How can we help you? ⚙️⚙️

@OceanWing1444 Certainly. But first we must ask if you are resetting the mission model so that the Kraken’s arms are resting on the grey axle in the shipwreck and get lifted up to a certain point when lifting the shipwreck up by the two yellow handles? If you do, then it should work how we show it. The outer part of the attachment has beams mounted at a 45 degree angle to lift up the two yellow handles to raise the shipwreck and therefore the mast. Within that outer frame we mounted a cage that reaches under the kraken’s arms before they fall and pivots up over the curvature of the treasure chest. The cage prevents the kraken’s arm to come all the way down and it pivots back down behind the treasure chest. With the correct distances between the outer frame and inner cage and the correct distance driving the attachment into the mission model this should raise the mast to its scoring position and grab the treasure chest. Let us know if you need further help. ⚙️⚙️

@ of course I reset it that way!!! Thanks for the help!

@ We just noticed that a lot of teams did not reset it that way and were struggling to get to the treasure chest with the kraken arms always covering it. Was the description of our attachment sufficient to explain how it works? Let us know if you still need help. ⚙️⚙️

@@swalch4109 Hello. For this video series we used our own robot design built from a MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor kit that is similar to the Spike Prime. This robot has a much smaller footprint and allows it to get into tighter spaces. ⚙️⚙️

@@Nazlchlilys Hello. We are sorry, but we do not believe that sharing our code would be useful to you. We have created a lot of MyBlocks to make programming easier and as a result our program is mostly nondescript MyBlock lines that will not mean anything to you without explanation. Additionally this program was specifically created for the robot and attachments we used in the video. It will not work without adjustments if your robot and attachments are different. Let us know what you need help with and we will help you. Where are you located, if you don’t mind the question? ⚙️⚙️

I am located in Turkey

Hi. We use “Move/Steering” blocks for turns. Most of the time we will use a “100” turn where the outside wheel will move forward and the inside wheel moves backward at the same speed making the robot turn on the spot. We put a description about turning into our recent tutorial videos. Hope this helps. ⚙️⚙️

@@sloatv9993 Very good observation. “Equipment” is anything the team brings to the match and what is getting used during the robot match. Mission models are not considered equipment, therefore the shark is allowed to touch the reef segments and the reef segments can touch each other. The carrier we built for transporting the shark to its habitat by the shipwreck is made so that the shark prevents the reef segments from touching the carrier. We have studied the rules of the robot game every year for 11 seasons and have sent emails to FIRST for rule clarifications frequently mostly to get our interpretation of the rules confirmed (we asked about mission 6 “Raise the Mast” this year and they put out a challenge update for it), our coach volunteers as a referee at local qualifiers and State competitions and we are confident that our interpretation of the rules is accurate. If you try this solution at your competition and get questioned about it, just be prepared to point to the rule about what counts as equipment and involve the head referee. Let us know if you encounter any problems with this. Good luck. ⚙️⚙️

​@@6006TechWarriors Makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the very detailed explanation. And for all of the awesome vids. Keep 'em coming! :)

@@shankyy_memes Practice, practice, practice. Run timed robot matches, practice attachment changes, practice your innovation project presentation and your robot design presentation. Be comfortable with everything and most of all, have fun. Good luck!! What State, if you don’t mind the question? ⚙️⚙️

@@6006TechWarriorsThanks for the advice! We are competing in Connecticut. Our team is 4 years old, but we have never won the state championship. This is my last year in FLL and I’m really hoping to go to worlds. Thanks!

@ Well, good luck to your team. If you make it to Worlds we will be looking for you. 🤞🏼🍀 ⚙️⚙️

@@6006TechWarriorsThanks! I thought you guys didnt compete though?

@ Correct. Our team members are now students and mentors of two FRC teams that will travel to Houston and we will not want to miss the FLL-C competition and possibly meet some of our fans 😉. ⚙️⚙️

@@tolgarfataydog3828 Hello, All our videos are supposed to give inspiration to teams who are stuck on certain missions.

We will not be providing any programming code or build instructions for the attachments, as the discovery of your team’s solution is one of the FIRST core values. For this mission you would start with a rigid attachment that can push in on the yellow bottom of the whale to open its mouth. From there you will need a tall structure to mount either a bucket or slide to let the krill fall into the whales’s open mouth. Lastly you will need an actuator that makes the bucket drop or open the slide for the krill. Let us know if you need help getting your own solution to work. ⚙️⚙️

@@6006TechWarriors Could you at least give me the instructions or more detailed pictures of the cars, as together with the team we have been struggling for several months. And we can't do anything. Thank you

@@HELLO-io9st Hi. Not a bad idea. Keep in mind that this alone does not score any or not many points, as the krill have to be fed to the whale for points (definitely more complicated) and the coral reef segments have to be standing upright anywhere on the mat outside of either home area to score. Maybe you can try to collect the water sample along the way and do the angler fish. After that you will have clear access to any of the other missions. ⚙️⚙️

@ Hi, could you tell me where I can find, for example, a table with all the missions and what to do, with points and bonuses? Do you have it? Thanks🫶🏻

@ Hi. There is an XL score sheet available for download from the firstlegoleague.org website. The Robot game rulebook has all the scoring conditions and points listed for each mission. There is also an app available (at least for iPhone, don’t know about Android) called FLL-Scorer. ⚙️⚙️

@@leiderivaszambrano5482 Hello. It sounds like you are asking about the attachments mounted on the robot that interact with the mission models. If you are using the Spike Prime Advanced Driving Base (from the instructions in the Spike App) there are two basic attachments in the instructions under “Tools”. You could start with those and modify them to make them work for the mission you are trying to solve. Let us know if you need any further help. Where are you located if you don’t mind us asking? ⚙️⚙️

@@RichardFernandes-f7t Hi. We attached a push bar underneath the bucket that gets pushed by the opening whale mouth. ⚙️⚙️

@@HELLO-io9st Buon giorno Italia. For our individual mission solutions we use the ADB to give inspiration to teams struggling with getting started on some missions. We really like the modular quick attachment on it. That being said, the ADB is sometimes too big to fit into the tight spaces on the mat (like between the Artificial Habitat and the table wall to deliver the Research Vessel). Also, at the competition, the ADB will not stand out in the robot design judging session. You will have to show your engineering skills with the attachments instead. For our more complex solutions we decided to use a very compact robot built from the Mindstorms robot inventor kit with symmetrical quick attachment features front and back. Grazie mille e buona fortuna. ⚙️⚙️

@@6006TechWarriors Thanks for the reply! Another idea could be to start from an ADB and then modify and improve it based on the missions🫶🏻

@@shankyy_memes Hi. We are no longer competing, but decided to help others during the RePLAY season. From our six competitive seasons before that we have three qualifying Champions awards and two Robot Performance awards; one State Champions Award and one Robot Performance Award and advanced to the Michigan State Championship four times and to Worlds once. We competed in Michigan, which restricts the age of team members for FLL-C to upper elementary (4th - 6th grade). ⚙️⚙️

@@shankyy_memes Good question. We think it is easier to load the research vessel by hand in the home area, since you have more control over it. We thought about creating a loading fixture that could be triggered by the robot, but it seemed too much effort and hard to control and needed to be retracted to not touch the mission model. Pushing the loaded ship out of the starting port was also challenging. ⚙️⚙️

I see. thank you!

Childmaum there are several 620 point Max videos

Hi, we are trying to put one together, but need a little bit more time to perfect our attachment changes. In the meantime enjoy the individual runs we are posting on the channel. ⚙️⚙️

Yes there are. And as you probably saw, most if not all of them are cut to show just the individual runs without attachment changes, which is only half of the important stuff. We are trying to show a full run in less than 2:30 with everything that is going on from start to finish. Admittedly it has been a little bit more difficult this year. Hopefully we will have something to post in the next couple of weeks. ⚙️⚙️
