Importance of the caster ball on the LEGO Mindstorms robot movement Pro Preview

You could use the LEGO Steel Balls as a third wheel on the robot. It is a caster wheel. But this is steel and as we know from basic existence on this planet, where there is steel there is also rust. The steel ball could get quite rusty and this could have an influence on the behaviour of the robot

Rust on the steel ball

Check your steel ball. If it is very rust try to replace it or to remove the rust. If it is rusty there is more traction between the ball and the plastic "container" of the ball.

Петминутен робот (Five Minute bot)

Инструкции за LEGO Mindstorms EV3 робот, който наричаме петминутен, понеже може да се построи за пет минути.

Внимание: Ако роботът не завива еднакво заради пода, променете конструкцията така че стоманеното топче да е по-назад. По този начин центърът на тежестта ще бъде разпределен към гумите и роботът ще завива по-добре.

In this video I would like to discuss a question and to give an answer to a question that we receive very often and this is about the importance of these steel balls - the castor wheels of your robot and how they influence the movement of the robot. It is quite challenging for me to capture this difference between the two steel balls on a camera and that's why I'm going to discuss this with you. When you buy these steel balls they come brand new and they are very smooth. And this one here is an example. When you move with this there is almost no sound

while if you use an older one, it gets more rusty and if you move this ball, you hear a sound.

Let me try to move it closer to the mine and to see if there is a difference. First, I'll move the smoother one

and now the rusty one.

It's difficult to capture this but if this steel ball is very rusty, what happens is that it will have some influence of the movement of the robot. So, you should always check them and make sure that these are not very rusty.
