Video tutorials

The final video from the course. The robot escapes the state where it is lost. This happens if it can not continue in any direction.

We extract the Proportional Line Following algorithm into a new block with parameters. This allows us to experiment with the Threshold, Constant Speed and Relaxation Coefficient. You can now easily use the block in you other programs without having to implement it. 

In this video we look at the robotics mechanism for dropping the different blocks into the different region on the World Robotics Olympiad 2013 field. 

After we have introduced a menu in the previous video, this video focuses on storing the values in an array. It presents a basic use of arrays.

In this episode we do a full run of the mission for collecting a single treasure before going into explanation on how we have programmed the robot.

There are a number of tools available online to help you play the game. You just seed the initial conditions and leave the game. Let's look at some of the sites.

Display a matrix with "life" and "dead" cells on the EV3 LEGO Mindstorms brick screen. The program is available. You can see it, change it, modify it and learn from it.

Display a matrix on the brick screen. Simple and easy. Download and run the program to see how

The field in the game of life could be finite or infinite. It is interesting to see and learn how an infinite field behaves and works. 

The task is to find what the best seed is that will live the longest without entering into a loop or without dying. Find it and submit in the tasks section.

You have the controller, you have the diode. The controller has a number of pins (holes). Where should you put the diode so that it starts blinking? 

The small holes on the controller are called pins. On our controller we have 32 pins. The more pins that you have, the more elements you can controller with this microcontroller. For this video the interesting pins and 13 and GND
