MISSION MODEL CONSTRUCTION
BUILD THE MISSION MODELS:
Use the LEGO elements from your Challenge Set, and instructions from
http://firstlegoleague.org/challenge#animal-allies . It will take a single person four to five hours to do this, so it’s best
done in a team construction party. For any team members with little or no experience building with LEGO elements,
Mission Model construction is a great way to learn. This step is also a nice time for new team members to get to
know each other.
QUALITY: The models must be built PERFECTLY. “Almost perfect” is not good enough. Many teams make several
building errors and practice all season with incorrect Models… When these teams later compete on Fields with
correct Models, the Robot fails. The team incorrectly blames the Robot, the tournament organizers, or bad luck for
the failure. Best practice is to have several people check for correctness.

MISSION MODEL ARRANGEMENT AND SETUP
DUAL LOCK:
Some Models are “secured” to the Mat, while others are simply “placed” on the Mat. Each place on
the Mat where a Model needs to be secured has a box with an “X” in it. The connection is made using the re-usable
fastening material from 3M called “Dual Lock,” which comes with the LEGO elements in your Challenge Set. Dual
Lock is designed to “lock” to itself when two faces of it are pressed together, but you can unlock it too. The
application process for the Dual Lock is only needed once. Afterward, the Models can simply be locked onto the Mat
or unlocked. To apply Dual Lock, proceed one Model at a time...
STEP 1: Stick one square, adhesive side down, on each box you see on the Mat with an “X” in it.
STEP 2: Press a second square on top of each of those, “locking” them on, adhesive side up . TIP: Instead of using
your finger, use a bit of the wax paper the squares came on.
STEP 3: Align the Model exactly over its mark, and lower/press it onto the squares.

MISSION MODELS
(Any details not shown or mentioned are left to chance and officially don’t matter.)
These Mission Models are secured on their marks with Dual Lock as shown…
CAUTION:
1. Pay attention… Some Models which seem symmetrical in fact have a directional feature somewhere.
2. Be sure to place each square precisely on its box, and each Model precisely over its marks.
3. When pressing a Model down, press down on its lowest solid structure instead of crushing the whole Model. Pull
on that same structure if later you need to separate the Model from the Mat.
TIP: For large and/or flexible Models, apply only one or two pairs at a time. There’s no need to do it all at once.
