LEGO Robotics Challenge: Design, Code, and Conquer the MASTERPIECE Mission Field
MASTERPIECE Robot Game — FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Camp
Overview
In this 5‑day camp, kids work on the official FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Challenge “MASTERPIECE” Robot Game. FLL is a global program where students design and program a small LEGO robot to complete specific tasks on a themed game table. Campers will build a dependable LEGO robot, create easy‑to‑swap attachments, and write sensor‑based programs so the robot can complete missions and score points—just like in real FLL competitions.
Advanced option: Experienced or returning campers can build more complex robots and code with Pybricks Blocks or Python to create longer, higher‑scoring runs.
Learning Goals
- Robot design: sturdy chassis, modular attachments, consistent alignment
- Programming: gyro‑straight driving, precise turns, line alignment/follow, reusable custom blocks (MyBlocks)
- Strategy: mission selection, point analysis, multi‑mission runs, efficient resets
- Documentation: run cards, setup checklists, fast tuning workflow
Daily Plan
Day 2 — Strategy and First Missions
- Mission map: quick wins vs. stretch goals
- Design quick‑swap attachments with guides for repeatable setup
- Create MyBlocks for drive‑to, align‑on‑line, and deploy
- Deliverable: one reliable scoring mission run
Day 3 — Consistency and Chained Runs
- Combine gyro + line sensing; wall‑square and bump‑align
- Segment paths with waypoints to reduce drift
- Chain two missions in one run with a safe return to base
- Reliability checks: battery level, wheel scrub, attachment repeatability
Day 4 — Optimize and Document
- Tune speed vs. accuracy; add guards for failure modes
- Refine attachments for guidance and low friction
- Parameterize distances; add comments and on‑brick prompts
- Prepare run cards, setup jigs, and a field reset workflow
Day 5 — Dress Rehearsal and Final Tuning
- Finalize two dependable mission runs with timing
- Practice launches, attachment swaps, and base setup
- Friendly scrimmage with feedback and iteration
What Participants Take Away
- A reliable robot base and at least one consistent scoring routine
- Reusable navigation and mission code (MyBlocks or Python)
- Refined attachments and a repeatable launch/setup process
