No, what is described below is not allowable.

Having an extra LEGO piece (D03 Equipment) in the Training and Research area is fine.

Strongly attaching Mission Models to anything else is not permitted. See R11, Mission Model Handling:

-- If you combine a Mission Model with something (including the Robot), the combination must be loose enough that if asked to do so, you could pick the Mission Model up and nothing else would come with it.

So, attaching the disc-shaped Manure Sample to a flat board is probably not allowed. There are other ways to keep things from rolling away, of course, that don't require the pieces to be attached to each other.

Hi;

My team is working on the mission of sending manure sample to the Training And Research Area in the map (M09). The small disc shape piece is easy to roll over.
Per the challenge guide, M09:
o Manure *Samples are completely in the Training & Research Area: 5 Points Each
• More: Only one Manure Sample may be Transported at a time: Y/N
*Only disc-shaped Manure counts as Samples.

Can we prepare extra lego piece, such as flat board to let disc shaped manure attach to it, and send the two pieces together to the target area? To put extra lego pieces at the map, does it count as valid?

Thanks!
