In this video tutorial, we carry, deliver and drop a large object with an attachment that is much more stable than the basic. We get out of the base, and we actually carry the model. This attachment is also auto-correcting as it has a guiding beam at the front, and even when the robot makes a mistake, we can successfully accomplish the mission.
The M07. SPACE WALK EMERGENCY is one of the most interesting missions in FLL the we've even seen. This video tutorial demonstrates a mission run for Mission 07 Emergency Walk in FIRST LEGO League 2018-2019 Into Orbit robotics competition. The tutorial contains only the mission run on the field. We accomplish a single mission.
This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial where we deliver and drop precisely to complete a FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Cargo Connect mission. We reuse the same attachment as in other missions to demonstrate a reusable attachment.
Using everything that we've learned about LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition programming we arrive at the final boss mission - how do we consistently reach a mission model at the other end of the field. Consistently. Every time. We use line following, motion sensor, counting of lines and border alignment. All the different concepts that we've looked at separately are now implemented together.
The Load Cargo mission model could be accomplished by loading a cargo in a number of mission models on the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Cargo Connect field. In this video tutorial, we load the cargo on the platooning trucks. In the previous one, we load it on the trains.
In this video tutorial, we demonstrate a reusable attachment. It is the same attachment we've previously used for two other missions. Sometimes we can build such attachments - one attachment that can complete several missions. Yes, the mission is similar - it is Load Cargo, but we are loading the cargo in different places on the field, and that's important.
This is a 10 out of 10 video tutorial for the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePLAY robotics competition and the Treadmill mission. We build a robot with consistent behavior that is able to achieve the mission every time
This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial for a complex robot attachment that does a precise drop and is auto-correcting at the same time. It has decent consistency and reliability. We drop cargo onto the train and use a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot for this FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 competition.
The bench mission was a video tutorial that we recorded several times. It was really hard to get it 10 out of 10. The reason was the shear complexity of the mission. There are three things that should happen in this mission at once which was extremely difficult. What you will see in the tutorial is how this attachment behaves
This is a precise drop tutorial where we demonstrate how to accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Load Cargo mission that requires us to precisely drop a cargo into the drain. It is not an easy task, but it has a trick. A trick that allows us to 'shake' the cargo a little bit. The attachment is also auto-correcting to improve consistency. Use this principle whenever you need to drop things.
What if the robot could make a mistake and still accomplish the mission? That is what we demonstrate with this tutorial - a few principles for error tolerance and self-correction. Even though we start the robot from a few different places, we manage to complete the mission with the same program every time. We use the LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot, and we continue directly after the 10 out of 10 tutorial
This is a 10 out of 10 video tutorial where we demonstrate the consistency and reliability of a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime Active attachment connected to the motors of the robot. The goal of this attachment is to accomplish the Bridge mission where we have to push both parts of the bridge and bring them down to connect them. We use some line following.
In this video tutorial, we accomplish a FIRST LEGO League mission called The Bridge. We demonstrate how to use a really simple active attachment where the goal of the mission is to push down both parts of the bridge. We do not enter into the programming and we leave it up to you as an exercise.
Accuracy and consistency is the topic of this tutorial, as all 10 out of 10 tutorials are at FLLCasts. We use a robot build only from LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor parts and we accomplish the mission 10 out of 10 times. You will see how we use an active gear attachment to catch the wheel and pull it to the black circle, which accomplishes the mission
In this video tutorial, we demonstrate an attachment that is activated when we reach the mission model. That means the attachment is not activated by a motor but by the movement of the robot. We accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Cargo Connect Home Delivery mission model, where we have to move and bring cargo to the mission model and leave the cargo there.
In this 10 out of 10 tutorial, we accomplish the Platooning Trucks from FIRST LEGO League (FLL) 2021-2022. The goal of the mission is to connect the trucks to each other and both of them to the bridge. The attachment and the robot pushes the trucks and we do it 10 times to see the consistency and reliability of the robot.
This video tutorial is about flipping tires. We are using a LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor and the missing is from FIRST LEGO League 2020-2021 competition called RePlay. In the video you will see how to approach the two tires and how to flip them with an attachment. Then they must be returned back to the black circle.
In this video tutorial, we accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 mission called Platooning Trucks. The goal is to connect the two mission models (trucks) to each other and then connect them both to the bridge. It's quite an interesting mission as it involves three mission models.
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 10 out of 10 tutorial on an active, auto-correcting, locking, and aligning attachment that accomplishes the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Cargo Connect Large Delivery mission. The difference, as compared to the previous solution to the mission, is that we now use a much more consistent and reliable robot.
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)
This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial on a basic approach for one of the unique challenges in FIRST LEGO League competitions. This basic approach to a solution is not very consistent, and in some of the next tutorials, we will present a new solution. But we decided to record it to demonstrate how reliable this attachment is when it comes to carrying large objects. That could give you ideas of things to avoid.
The after season review continues. No. We are not publishing a single solution for the next season before it is over, but let's learn from the previous season. The current tutorial is about three missions at once on a single run with the robot. Most FIRST LEGO League teams try to accomplish one-two missions on a single run out of the base, and three is really what makes the difference
In this video tutorial, we demonstrate one of the unique missions of the FIRST LEGO League competitions - we must carry a rather large object from base an leave it on the field. This takes some considerations as other missions must be accomplished before that.
This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial, where we demonstrate the consistency and reliability of an attachment activated when we reach the mission model. We do not use a motor. We activate the attachment by pushing the robot to the mission model of the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Cargo Connect Home Delivery Mission.
DIfferent wheels and tires will result in different behaviour of the robot. That is actually pretty common sense. The real question is what is the influence. Would the robot make smaller deviations if it has smaller wheels or it will make larger deviations? The tires could also be quite dirty or brand new. Or the wheels could be attached in different ways.
The LEGO Mindstorms EV3 set comes with two LARGE motors. But even though these motors look almost the same they are not quite the same. There are always some differences in their behaviour. If you have more than two motors, because you bought them or you won them somewhere at a competition, it is worth doing an experiment to find which pair of motors works best.
