As an extension to the previous video we talk about the Hi Technic Color Sensor again.

Showing the same run, but from a different angle. This allows you to see more of the way we sensors work and how exactly the robot positions itself.

Starting with the World Robotics Olympiad 2014 Junior-High challenge we first catch the object on our path. We discuss a good mechanism for catching and lifting balls that can do two movements with one motor. 

It has been a long road with the last 8 BigDaddy competition robots video tutorials, but we finally arrived at the Differential Lock. 

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.

Sometimes you could just throw a ball from base and solve a competition. Or at least many teams think so. In this video we would explore a very simple attachment for throwing balls from base. Can you use this for other missions? - we think so. Check out the video. 

Based on your feedback we have decided to show you the live process of building a complex LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Competition robot without having the whole robot ready yet. We are continuing from part 2 where we finished the 'front' of the robot and now we will extend it so that we could also attach the rear part. 

We list the number of decisions that the robot is making while following the line. Then, we group them and decide on the number of sensors to be used.

We will take a look at the EV3 motors and will go into details about them

When you first start the EV3 brick, you see the recent programs menu. Let's see what it is all about.

This is one of the very interesting attachments by the ELM team. It is using rubber bands and some rubber to precisely drop the chicken. Very interesting way. Check it out and try to learn from it. 

We should how to build a frame that could hold the attachments for specific competition missions. This frame is added in a pinless manner. This means very fast and easy without any glitches of the pins.

Second active pinless attachment for the robot construction. It is placed in the top/right corner of the robot and includes an interesting gear system for transferring the power. The attachment is suitable for complete rotations.

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.

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.

With the EV3 Mindstorms set you receive three motors. Two are large and one is medium. These three motors could be used in different configurations and in this video we show how to use the motors on the second box robot for competitions that we build. 

The robot detects an object. After the object is remove we want to make the LEGO robot move forward.

We would see how both satellites work together on the World Robotics Olympiad competition. They must both follow different orbits and must cooperate for the mission to be accomplished.
