The Watt Bots posed another question I’m unable to answer:

In mission 8, are they required to use the Boccia Aim & Frame to deliver cubes inside the frame?  Or, can the robot deliver cubes to the frame via an engineered robot delivery attachment?

Thank you for all of your help!

Watt Bots, thanks for your question!

I think that you are asking about the mysterious items in Bag 9.

The Model Overview file with the building instructions at https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.firstlegoleague.org_season-23resources&d=DwIGaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=k6Oa5GxfBPFMgGjb2r5QIoEOeBZs9xbNIpA0kLw_kFQ&m=VTwFl2ahDDZV3v5HJexuN2lr9iCEWncSHsnsO_fdASk&s=T5eyGydMNtFUUH9iYV4HszWPi9fMJxObZ6Eo_dXkGTw&e= <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.firstlegoleague.org_season-23resources&d=DwMFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=k6Oa5GxfBPFMgGjb2r5QIoEOeBZs9xbNIpA0kLw_kFQ&m=ZjTpVr_jMJV3XcFZEe9ztWSqaqfRyBbNzBFtJ4dt4aw&s=pDaW4Soe3_JumhHvzqR4r9ydYMdUatN0aFU1y2ZcHcI&e=> calls those Colored Health Units and Season Tiles, but they aren't listed in the Field Setup or the Missions.

Since they aren't listed in the Robot Game Rulebook, they aren't actually part of the game, like the Coach Pins from Bag 1.  You can use the Colored Health Units as spare parts, if you happen to lose one of the green ones.  (The green Health Units are the "correct" ones, because rule R24, Information Ranking, says that we can believe the pictures if they don't conflict with the text.  The Robot Game text never says that Health Units are green, right?)

Actually, there was a game reveal a couple of weeks ago for the FLL partners (like JMU for Virginia-DC), and they mentioned that there was a bag of parts for the team to use however they like, so there really isn't a purpose.  But it might be cool for future teams to collect a set of Season Tiles for every year that they've been in FLL and make that part of their Robot or a piece of equipment.

The Watt Bots 26957 have asked me to ask the group:
1. What are the multicolored hearts used for (we know green is health)
2. What are the white RePlay tiles for?

Thanks!  And we hope everyone is as excited to get started as we are!!

The legs can be removed for easier transport as well. We also have the challenge mat from the "Into Orbit" season that you would be welcome to have.
