November Mission Model Discussion: M15 - FIRE

Welcome to the November Mission Model Discussion! From now until just before Thanksgiving this space will feature ONE part of the FIRST LEGO League HYDRO DYNAMICS game challenge per day. The Robot Game is only 1/4th of the overall FIRST LEGO League challenge for teams this year! This post is meant to be an aid, not a replacement for carefully reading the Challenge Guide!
At the Beginning of the Match: The Fire is up and the yellow lever is in alignment with the mark on the mat. The Firetruck is aligned with its markings on the mat at the North wall.
Required for Scoring: The fire is down by the direct force of the Firetruck on the yellow lever.
Conditions: The Firetruck must move the yellow lever to lower the fire
Score: 25 Points
Note from Oregon Head Referee Tom:  Scores at the end of the match if the Fire has dropped due to the direct force applied to the lever by the Firetruck.

Real World Impact: Fire services keep people and their belongings safe.  Firetrucks are known for using water to extinguish fires, but it is not their only tool. Water trucks are mobile pumps, a remarkable technology that has been developed to work with larger and larger structures. City hydrant systems too have increased benefits for city and residential areas by bringing in water strong water systems. Primarily, firefighters protect our natural lands and urban environments through new technology and hard work with old-fashioned tools.

Discussion: This mission has an additional challenge, the Firetruck must be used to activate the yellow lever. What method do you think works the best for getting the Firetruck to the Fire?
