The Mission Models on the field for the upcoming season of FLL Challenge SUBMERGED℠ seem to be more spaced out, offering more maneuvering for robots. However, the absence of guiding lines introduces an additional layer of challenge, necessitating precise navigation.
This season uses yellow color of LEGO piece to indicate interact-able parts of the models. The models also include the rigid loop LEGO piece for easier pickup and delivery of game pieces.
