Video tutorials

This video tutorial contains a details explanation on how we accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2018-2019 Into Orbit mission called M06. SPACE STATION MODULES. This again is a very interesting mission from the competition from which we could learn a lot of basic principles in the field of robotics.

Here is Lintu. It is a marvelous LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Animal robot that looks like Kiwi, the famous New Zealand bird. It is quite rare to see a Kiwi bird in person. But fear not, we've prepare a robot that looks almost exactly like the original.

In this video tutorial we would discuss the M13. OBSERVATORY mission from the FIRST LEGO League robotics competition 2018-2019 Into Orbit. This is an easy mission. You can accomplish it by pushing the level with the robot. The challenge is that there is not enough space to move with the robot around the attachment. Let's discuss how we could achieve it. 

This video tutorial is part of the series on how to make your robot 100% precise and accurate. We accomplish the M06. SPACE STATION MODULES mission 9 out of 10 times. The attachment works. Every time the attachment is started in successfully accomplishes the mission. It moves forward and attaches the space station module with the space station. 

Mission

The robot should park in the parking positioned in the north-east corner of the field.

Scores

At the end of the match the robot is completely in the parking area in the north-east corner of the field: 50 points.

This video tutorial contains a detailed explanation on how we accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2018-2019 Into Orbit mission called M04. CRATER CROSSING. These are some of the funniest missions at this robotics competition. Try to move over an obstacle with a robot and if you manage to return back to base without bumping into other mission models that would be great. 

This video tutorial is part of the series on how to make your robot 100% precise and accurate. We accomplish the Emergency Walk mission 10 out of 10 times. The attachment works. Every time the attachment is started in successfully accomplishes the mission and this is one of the most difficult missions on FIRST LEGO League competitions ever. 

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 video tutorial contains a detailed description on how we accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2018-2019 Into Orbit mission called Emergency Walk, which I think is one of the most interesting missions ever in FIRST LEGO League competitions. Join me in for a short explanation. 

This is the fifth and the last run of the Nightbeast team. Robot goes out of the base, do missions:

1. M11 - Escape Velocity
2. M13 - Observatory 

and stays on the field. It's a common practice for the competitors to left the robot on the field after the last run. This allows them to do some important points at the end of the match. 

In the third run Nightbeast team solves Mission 04 - Crater Crossing and partly Mission 03 -  3D printing and Mission 014 Meteoroid Deflection:

1. Eject the 2x4 Brick by placing a Regolith Core Sample into the 3D Printer.
2. Crater Crossing
3. Tries to score a meteoroid( tries to shoot a ball)

This is the first run of Team "Nightbeast", with which they solve M01 and M02 from FIRST LEGO League 2019 Into Orbit:

1. Starts with the Vehicle Payload
2. Places the Supply and Crew Payloads and rolls them to east.
3. Pushes the Solar Panel Array to the opposite side

In the second run Nightbeast team solves different tasks from two missions - M05 Extraction and M06 Space Station Modules:

1. Insert the Tube Module into the Habitation Hub port, west side 
2. Move all four Core Samples so they are no longer touching the axle that held them in the Core Site Model
3. Place the Gas Core Sample completely in Base

Mantissa, a LEGO Mindstorms Robot, moves and attacks. It uses the ultrasonic sensor and it's two special hands. Follow the building instructions and download the prepared program to directly use the robot.  

Level 2 from "FLLCasts Certified VEX IQ Robot Driver - Class R1" certification path is to start on the border of the field, move through to the last obstacle, turn and return back to the first one. turn once again and go up to the second one, turn around one last time and sprint towards the finish line at the border of the field.

Level 1 from "FLLCasts Certified VEX IQ Robot Driver - Class R1" certification path is to start on the border of the field, move through to the last obstacle, turn and return back to the border of the field.

We've recently received a number of question on how could the SUV box robot be charged. The answer is simple - you detach the back pane. The question and topic of detaching modules from a robot and attaching them again is really interesting and powerfull and yet not very often implemented in many robots. 

Football with robots could be quite fun. Football with LEGO Mindstorms robots is one of the popular categories for competitions with LEGO Mindstorms Robots. 

There are a few main challenges with box robots and in the following tutorial we would like to resolve them. Read on and let's see how we could do this. 

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

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)

We are about to connect the whole car with the lights and motors to the controller. Let's recap to know what is ahead of us, what would the process be and what is the end result of the next couple of sections when at the end we have a car controlled by the phone
