10 out of 10 tutorials for the Slide mission was a challenge. There were a lot of glitches with different attachments that we built. At the end we have an attachment that is able to reliably pull the mini figures up, then forward,then down which.
This tutorial explains the use of motion and light/color sensors to accomplish a complex mission split into three parts. It gets into detail about how we keep a straight line with the motion sensor, follow a line with the color sensors, and transition between different parts of the program by aligning and detecting lines with the sensor. The goal is to get to a reliable and consistent behavior of the robot. On top of that, it is configurable, as we've left a few parameters that could be set to configure the behavior for a specific robot, venue, lighting, battery level, and wheels friction.
This video tutorial demonstrated the use of an active gear attachment for catching a wheel and pulling it. This is how we accomplish the Rowing Mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2021 competition. What you will learn is how such an attachment works. How you transfer power from the top of the robot where the motors are to the bottom of the robot where the catching mechanism is. Check out the building instructions for the attachment.
The Slide mission the FIRST LEGO League 2020 is about the LEGO Minifigures sliding down the slide and the robot bringing them back to base. We must somehow bring then back do base. Do we push them on the Slide? Do we pull them? Or we could lift them. In this video tutorial we decided to pull the minifigures, but there is a catch.
In this video tutorial we accomplish the Pull-Up bar mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2020. This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial for demonstrating the accuracy of the robot and the attachment. What you will learn is how a two part attachment works.
The goal of the Pull-Up bar mission is to have the robot pull up on the bar... ok.. wording. In this video tutorial we demonstrate an interesting attachment that helps the robot attach to the Pull-Up bar and hang there. How do we do this - with a platform, that brings the robot to the bar and then detaches itself from the robot
The robot slides the people (called “slide figures”) down the slide and moves them to other areas.
Securely dock the ship that contains the samples and artifacts your team has collected.
Collect samples and artifacts from around the mat so they can be analyzed by scientists in the lab.
Use the ship’s sonar technology to scan the surroundings for nearby objects or animals.
Rearrange the artificial habitat stacks to create safe homes for the crabs and other sea creatures in this area.
Pulleys, gears, and levers are some of the mechanical technologies used to move props to create the special effects for a movie.
Act out the scene by pulling the boat model along.
Many technologies are used to enable all sorts of great creations to be made anywhere.
Release the creation from the craft machine.
Getting a camera into exactly the right position to capture a shot requires a lot of precise movement and great communication with the actors.
Release the camera down the track to shoot the movie scene.
Visual and audio effects make a powerful impact and can be used to help the audience focus on different parts of the performance.
Set up the music concert by switching on the lights and sound.
Augmented reality transforms a piece of art into an experience.
Rotate the statue to reveal an augmented reality experience.
3D technology adds depth and interactivity to the cinema experience, making it more enjoyable.
Trigger the 2D cinema screen to become a 3D experience.
Factories use large amounts of energy to make the products we use such as toys.
Deliver energy units to the toy factory bin and release the mini dinosaur toy.
Smart grids use electricity generated from all the different energy sources and distribute it to the consumer where and when it is needed.
Raise your field’s orange connector to complete the smart grid connection with the opposite field.
New technologies help us to store energy. Volcanic rocks can be heated in an insulated enclosure to store energy until it is needed.
Load energy units into the energy storage bin and then release the stored energy unit from the tray under the model.
