This is an attachment for Kufar - Easy SPIKE Prime out-of-box robot. It is an experiment we did that didn't work out for the FLL 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE field, but is interesting nonetheless. It shows how you can take an out-of-box robot and put a steering mechanism on it.
Nautiq is a unique little robot — and the smallest box robot we’ve ever built! It was designed especially for the FLL competition, where having a small and smart robot can be a big advantage. Even though Nautiq is tiny, it’s packed with clever features — like gears that point in different directions — so you can create all kinds of fun and useful attachments.
But keep in mind: small robots like Nautiq can find it tricky to push or lift heavy things. That’s why Nautiq is part of a course that shows cool ways to get around those challenges and still succeed in missions!
This is the first part of accomplishing M03 Energy Storage with the Kriket Box Robot. In this tutorial we show how to Drop the energy units in the storage. The second part will focus more on how do we pull the element from below the energy storage.
In this video tutorial, the MiniBox box robot is accomplishing M02 and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge robotics competition. This robot is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot that uses a detachable attachment and rubber band mechanism to achieve its goals.
When the robot presses down the mission model, it activates the detachable attachment which disconnects from the robot and triggers the rubber band mechanism, allowing it to collect the minifigure.
We know this attachment may seem a bit complex, but after a few tries, you'll definitely enjoy working with it!
There is no block for programming the Ultrasonic Sensor in the retail version of the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 software. In this video tutorial we will show you how you can download & import such blocks in order to use the sensor.
An interesting question that has arise is whether we can use the LEGO Mindstorms EV3-G Software to program the NXT brick. In this episode we will go through the blocks from the EV3-G Software and see which works with the NXT Hardware and which does not.
This video tutorial reviews the EV3 Gyro Sensor and the HiTechnic Gyro Sensor for the LEGO Mindstorms NXT robotics Kit. We compare the two sensors and demonstrate them in action.
As an extension to the previous video we talk about the Hi Technic Color Sensor again.
Experiment with moving the robot in different geometrical figures. The tasks could be used in STEM classes for introducing students to geometry and math.
We are programming this strange construction to move in a square. This is a basic task, but it is worth doing for a robot with motors placed in different directions.
In this course, we would like to introduce you to multi-purpose attachments. These are attachments designed to accomplish a number of missions when the robot goes out of the base in the FIRST LEGO League competitions.
You've all seen them. They are kind of large, powered by a few motors and sometimes use rubber bands, levers and other mechanisms.
Use the course as a preseason preparation and try to solve the tasks to prepare for next year competition. Even if you don't have the field, build the attachments and follow the tasks to inspect their behaviour. Modify them as needed when said.
This is the first draft of the course including only the attachments in different sections. If you are interested in learning more please enrol in the course and in the next few weeks we would try to record the video tutorials.
These are a couple of structured examples and tutorials of how the missions for FIRST LEGO League 2015 Trash Trek competition could be accomplished. We've gathered recordings and explanations from which students and teacher can learn a lot. There are missions and attachment for dropping, carabiner, loops and other interesting and challenging robotics missions from the competition.
These are a couple of structured examples and tutorials of how the missions for FIRST LEGO League 2014 Word class competition could be accomplished. We've gathered recordings and explanations from which students and teacher can learn a lot. There are missions and attachment for rubber bands, lifting with rubber bands, throwing and other interesting and challenging robotics missions from the competition.
These are a couple of structured examples and tutorials of how the missions for FIRST LEGO League 2012 Senior Solutions competition could be accomplished. We've gathered recordings and explanations from which students and teacher can learn a lot. There are pinless attachments, categorization, heavy lifting, a lot of rubber bands and at the end we destroy the field at this robotics competition field mat.
The after season review continues. No. We are not publishing a single solution for the next season before it is over, but let's learn from the previous season. The current tutorial is about three missions at once on a single run with the robot. Most FIRST LEGO League teams try to accomplish one-two missions on a single run out of the base, and three is really what makes the difference
