This video tutorial is about accomplishing the Pull-Up bar mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay robotics competition. The goal of the mission is to move with the robot and pull the robot up. With this video tutorial you will learn how to build such attachments and how missions that are about lifting the whole robot could be accomplished. The attachment also makes a very good use of rubber bands.
10 out of 10 is our favorite series of video tutorials and in this one we are looking at the FIRST LEGO League 2021 RePlay competition and the tire flip mission. The goal of the mission is to flip a tire. Two tire. Perfect. We manage to do it each and every try
Load cargo containers safely and efficiently
In this video tutorial we accomplish the Boccia mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay competition. We use LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor robot. In this mission we use an attachment that does three things in the same time - align, push one lever and drop a couple of boxes in a target. It is a complex attachment and it is worth the watch.
10 out of 10 tutorials are about accomplishing missions in a reliable and repeatable way. In this video tutorials we accomplish the Step Counter mission 10 out of 10 times. We can push on the mission model, but if we push too hard we would lock it and there is no way back. So we use a slightly different approach. Check out the video to see how.
10 out of 10 tutorials for the Slide mission was a challenge. There were a lot of glitches with different attachments that we built. At the end we have an attachment that is able to reliably pull the mini figures up, then forward,then down which.
With this animation we demonstrate an example for a quick pinless attachment that could be used to collect loops. Loops is one of the most common missions at FIRST LEGO League competitions. We use the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor set to build the attachment, the mission model and the robot. They are all from the same attachment. In the live video in the same lesson we enter into more details about the attachment and we describe its idea
In this video tutorial we demonstrate the user of a quick 'pinless' attachment. As all pinless attachment it is not that they are completely pinless, but that they do not require the "click" of the pins that is often difficult to achieve in a quick pace environment as during FIRST LEGO League competition rounds.
This is an animation of a quick pinless attachment that is placed below the robot and is used to deliver parts, like the Container Mission model, to different parts of the field. In the live video in the lesson we explain more about the principles, while here in the animation you can get a quick overview of how it works and you can try to follow the same principles for an exercise.
This video tutorial is about a detachable attachment. In various FIRST LEGO League competitions there are missions that could be accomplished with an attachment and when you accomplish the mission you must somehow leave the attachment along with the mission model. Probably as a support - most of the time it is as a support. But we've seen some pretty powerful concepts that include things like leaving a clock mechanism that will continue to work for 30 seconds accomplishing the mission.
This animation demonstrates the use of a Grab Attachment build from LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor 51515 set. Many of the FIRST LEGO League missions could be accomplished by grabbing the mission model and the principles shown here is useful for mission models that look like a loop
In this video tutorial we demonstrate an attachment that can accomplish Drop missions. A drop mission is when you have to move on the FIRST LEGO League field with the robot, reach a mission model, and drop a part in this mission model. First time we saw such missions I think was in FLL 2013. The attachment, the robot and the mission model could be build from a single LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor 51515 set. The mechanism for dropping works by releasing a lever when the attachment is pushed against the mission model. Check them out.
This animation demonstrate the use of an LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor attachment to lift a lever of a mission model. The mission model is the Power Switch mission model where you have to move the lever from one side of the mission model to another. The principle of the attachment is powerful and easy to implement for all kinds of missions.
This animated video tutorial demonstrate the use of a lift attachment to accomplish loops mission. It is a lift attachment with a circular motion
In this video tutorial we demonstrate a robot attachment that could be used to lift loops and other objects. Almost every year there is a mission at FIRST LEGO League competitions that involve lifting and the principle is interesting. You can build the attachment, robot and mission model from a single LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor 51515 set and learn a principle of building an attachment for lifting.
