Accomplishing many tasks with a single attachment for the FIRST LEGO League (FLL) 2013 competition. The attachments are using many rubber bands. What is interesting is that it collects/lift/triggers many things at the same time. This is how you could save time and parts during a competition.
Each year the FIRST LEGO League robotics Competition involves loops. In this video tutorial I will go through the most common way of taking loops, show its disadvantages and suggest another way to do it.
- you should attach it to the motor, depending on the orientation of the motor
Building instructions for the LEGO Mindstorms attachment using Rubber Bands
The central axle of the robot is most of the time the most important. The robot moves forward and does things with this axle. It is important to learn to you could extend such axles, and change the level and position of the extensions.
This is a LEGO Mindstorms EV3/NXT robot attachment.
The FLL season is great, but has one disadvantage - it ends. We have prepared that course for those of you that does not want to stop! The course presents a whole new challenge with custom designed field and mission models, that can be built from just 2 LEGO Mindstorms EV3 sets (core+resource). It is a great way to keep the momentum going after the end of the FLL season and prepare in the best way possible for the next.
In this tutorial we demonstrate how a Flip Mission could be accomplished with a Flip Attachment. The robot attachment could be adapted to other flips in FIRST LEGO League/World Robotics Olympiad and other robotics competitions. The principle is the same. The tutorial uses Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions as a robot base.
This is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot attachment for accomplishing the FIRST LEGO League 2020 Bench mission . The attachment is designed for Gazon, LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot.
This is an attachment positioned below the robot and used for when we need to push something with the robot. It keeps the cargo in place while pushing. In this way we can achieve a consistent behavior with the robot, which is what we all want
Third version of a reusable gear attachment. In this scenario a single motor could power two different axles in two different directions. If you use it to accomplish a mission do not forget to send us a video. We would love to see it.
You need to pull. And also catch. You need a carabiner. We have done a number of videos on carabiners and this is one of the ideas for the FIRST LEGO League 2015 Trash Trek competition.
As we are already off the season we decided to look back at the competition. First, we will take a look at the working solution for FIRST LEGO League 2017 Manhole Cover. This was generally accepted as one of the most difficult missions during the competition. We've built a single attachment to accomplish it.
(we are releasing the video without explanations and will add the explanations later)
Here is another great example of a large multi-purpose attachment used in FIRST LEGO League competitions. This one is specifically for the 2017-2018 Hydrodynamics competitions and is doing a number of missions. (01) Pipe removal, (06) Water Treatment and (08) Manhole cover.
The attachment consists of two parts. The first part is placed on the robot while the second part is in front of the robot and the robot pushes it. While working on the field the robot leaves the second part on the Water Treatment plant and when returning back collects it back and returns to base.
The goal of the attachment is for you to build it and experiment with it with the existing field. Use Box Robot 2 as a robot base on which to add the attachments.
This is an attachment for extracting the raw materials. This attachment is made for Kamak box robot.
The program for this attachment is FLL 2018: Attachment To Accomplish The Into Orbit Extraction (05) Robot Game With Kamak - Box Robot - Demo Program
This video is about a lever that should be pushed and this lever is connected to an axle. This means the lever should rotate. It is a common mission on robotics competitions like FIRST LEGO League/World Robotics Olympiad. The inspiration for this mission is the FLL 2012 Senior Solutions Oven mission. The tutorial uses Luly, a small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions as a robot base.
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.
In this video tutorial, we push two of the mission models with a pinless active attachment with gears. The goal is to push the mission models after the blue lines. This attachment is interesting as it demonstrates a non-straightforward idea of how we can push the mission models. We explain the Scratch program and how we use the motion sensors - you will learn how to turn to a specific angle by using the motion sensor.
In this video tutorial, we demonstrate a configurable attachment used for accomplishing a FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Cargo Connect mission called Sorting Center. The mission model has three cargo objects that are placed randomly. The attachment is configured before the run based on the configuration of the cargo objects. This attachment is also very powerful as it aligns and auto-corrects the errors that the robot is making by squaring the robot.
In this course, we demonstrate and explain example solutions for the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWERED competition using the Kriket box robot as a base and building attachments for it. Every year, we share our solutions and our comments only after the season is over. The course is centred around MULTIPLE MISSIONS in a single run which is unique. We see runs with 3, 4 and even 5 missions. Then we enter into details around accomplishing the specific missions. You can follow the course, and as you go through each mission, try to replicate the solutions to understand the programs and explanations. This teaches students and teachers the principles of accomplishing missions in every FLL robotics competition and how to help your team score more points.
Before starting this course, we suggest you go through the FIRST LEGO League robot game guide
There is an additional course that does a review for the same competition but with a different robot - the Chain Monster. It present other principles of building attachments and shows different examples. Check out the other course also.
