In this tutorial, we record an example of how to cut the pipe to the desired length with a hacksaw. Cutting with a hacksaw is very common during FIRST Technical Challenge Preparation
In this robotics tutorial, we would discuss the length of the pipe and its dimensions. These are general considerations for every container on a FIRST Technical Challenge competition.
This robotics tutorial is about the different tools that you could use to collect the balls in a pipe on a FIRST Technical Challenge competition.
This is the task for you. We've shown you in the previous tutorials how to do it, how to use a drill and a hacksaw and a grinding stone to cut and shape a PVC pipe. Now it's your turn. Don't forget to show us pictures -> right here in the comments section
The robotics tutorial is about the shape of the pipe its advantages and disadvantages.
The tutorial is about what are the parts that you should buy to have the Ball Collecting mechanism.
The next challenge of the course is to build a container where you could store the balls (objects) that you are collecting. The first thing is to see how it works as an end result. You can use the same principle during FIRST Technical Challenge competitions. You can also fire the balls, just by rotating the axle in reverse.
In this robotics tutorial, we give a few notes for the teacher about adding an axle to the front of the FTC robot and attaching a plastic plate to this axle to make the robot collect balls.
Find a plastic element. Cut it to 200mm by 140mm and attach this plastic plate to the front of our FIRST Technical Challenge Tetrix Robot.
How to add a plastic plate to the FIRST Technical Challenge Robot build with Tetrix. The plastic plate is for collecting the balls. The plate should rotate and should be connected to the axle.
Attach an axle to the front of the robot. Find a similar one, or modify the FTC Tetrix robot to accommodate the new axle.
How to construct an axle with a plastic plate connected to this axle and make this plate rotate and collect balls.
There are modifications that you must do on the FTC PushBot robot. Let's discuss them
One of the very common tasks on different FIRST Technical Challenge competitions is to collect objects. In this case, these are colourful specifically shaped plastic object or in simple terms - balls.
Building a rack is a very important skill during competitions. You should try to build one, learn how to use it and have it as a tool for you next robots. But for this particular BoxRobot, we will not continue with a rack.
Using the rack depends on the experience of the team. Based on this a different number of gear wheels and racks would be used.
Build a rack and try to lift the robot with this rack.
The next step of lifting a robot to a mission model is to try to use a rack.

Опитайте сами да поставите сензор за допир на робота.
Why we change the robots all the time and what to observe in each new robot.
Our next robot is called CastorBot, because of the castor ball.
A special fourth case for a turning with robots with two wheels.
Every turn is a circular motion and we will review the three types of turns from this point of view.
Each palette contains programming blocks that share common purpose. We will cover most of them
