Mission 2: Clearing topsoil and map reveal setup - Robot Game

Update from FIRST US regarding Mission 2 (issued August 5th, 2025).

Topsoil clearing criteria

Mission 2 includes three topsoil sections, each requiring a unique action to be considered cleared:

• One section (identified by its loop) must be completely removed, so it is no longer touching the model.

• The second section must be slid until the latch drops fully.

• The third section must be rotated until it is completely past the designated line marked on the mat.

The mission video demonstrates each clearing method and can be used as a reference for intended functionality.

Map reveal setup

3M™ Dual Lock™ Reclosable Fasteners should be aligned carefully to avoid unintended contact with the topsoil sections. Misalignment may cause sticking or movement issues that could affect the model's performance. Teams should check for smooth operation during setup.
