FLL 2021: Completely Perfect, 100% consistent, 10 out of 10, auto-correct behavior for Train Tracks

In this tutorial, we accomplished a train track mission model, which is a mission model involving two parts. First fixing the train track and then pushing on this train or pulling till we get to the other end of the train tracks. We use our LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot to accomplish this complex two parts. And this is a ten out of ten tutorial in which demonstrate how consistent and reliable the robot is. Because of the use of many sensors like two motion sensor and flight sensor, what we see in this tutorial is that the robot makes mistakes, but it compensates for them. It sometimes connects and pushes. On the other mission model, it sometimes the wheel slips, but even though it makes a lot of errors, it compensates for them because of the sensors. Here there are ten runs with our robot, motion sensor and light sensor together move forward. Then we made a mistake. It doesn't matter because we follow the line and we auto-correct it. We wait until we detect the black line and we return. While we return, we follow the line. That's it. First run, it was successful let's see the second run.

This time we didn't hit on the mission model on the left side

and the robot again successfully reached the right side of the screen and accomplished the mission two successful runs. How do we get here? We get here by some kind of positioning and following a line. When we move back, even if we hit on some of the mission models, we correct the error.

Third one, you saw how here we kind of pushed, but then we move forward follow the line and it doesn't matter that the robot made a mistake. Even when the robot makes a mistake, we auto-correct, we compensate for it. This is a general principle that I want to convey here with these ten out of ten tutorials, it is possible to auto correct the robot. It is possible, because of the use of the sensors, to how to correct its behavior. When the robot makes a mistake, we compensate for this mistake. How? By waiting for specific events to occur and these events are the line detect the second line, wait and push on the border or the mission model square the robot so how in the specific example, the previous one, the wheel slipped for like half a second half a second. But even though the robot managed to complete the mission.

Follow, wait for a black line,

complete the mission.

We'll probably show how it made a mistake when it initially completed the first part of the mission. But then it followed the line. It's not the fastest way to follow the line. It's not the smartest way. It's just one of the ways to follow the line. And for this specific tutorial, we've decided to demonstrate this way of following the line, where you take the light, the reflected light, and you multiply it by some coefficients. Check out the previous tutorial where we enter into the programming. You can experiment and you can change it with other ways in which you can follow a line. Possible. It all depends on the context of what robot do you need? Where are the sensors of this robot? I think this is the eight run and we haven't made a single mistake. The robot is consistent and reliable. We managed to complete the mission every time.

Why? Because we use the motion sensor for moving straight and then we use the light sensor to detect and follow lines. We don't even need to square the robot and to align it to the border in this particular mission.

Second to last and one last time, can we do ten out of ten? I think we can.

Completely perfect execution. I hope you like it and I'll see you in the next video.
