This is a 10 out of 10 video tutorial demonstrating the consistency and reliability of a configurable attachment. The attachment is designed to accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Cargo Connect mission model called Sorting Center. The mission model has 3 cargo objects that could be placed in a different way. The attachment is configurable and before the run we configure it for the specific way in which the mission model is set up before the start of the round.

"Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not work" - this is the most common case in FIRST LEGO League competitions. In this tutorial, we demonstrate and discuss such a case where the first part of accomplishing the mission always works but the second part has about 60-70% success rate. The robot is not very consistent. Let's take a moment to see it and explain why so that we can resolve the problem in the next lesson.

In this video tutorial we demonstrate the behavior of a LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor robot when we use the Motion sensor. The Motion sensor was also referred to as Gyro sensor in previous versions of the LEGO Mindstorms Robot. We do not enter into the details of the programming and you can download the programs from the course lesson, but we make a demonstration of how the robot turns to about 95 degrees when we try to turn it to 90 degrees, we explain why and we suggest a way to improve the behavior of the robot.

This is a recording of a completely perfect, 10 out of 10 accomplishment of a two-part mission - Train tracks, from the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Cargo Connect competition. Due to the proper use of motion and color/light sensors, the robot is 100% consistent and reliable for a non-trivial mission. Even when the robot makes a mistake, it auto-corrects and compensates for this mistake.

10 out of 10 is our favorite series of video tutorials and in this one we are looking at the FIRST LEGO League 2021 RePlay competition and the tire flip mission. The goal of the mission is to flip a tire. Two tire. Perfect. We manage to do it each and every try

In this video tutorial we accomplish the Innovation project mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay competition. The goal of the mission is to build a new construction on the day of the competition and to complete a mission with this new construction. There are a couple of spare parts in the FLL set and building the construction for the innovation project was quite fun.

This video tutorial demonstrates the consistency and reliability of the active attachment that pushes the two mission models. The goal is to use both the attachment and the robot to push the mission model and move the truck and the plane after the blue lines.

In this video tutorial we accomplish the Basketball mission 10 out of 10 times. We use one of the more complex attachments for the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay competition. You will see an learn how to successfully and consistently complete a mission that requires the robot to put a ball into a basket and lift the basket, or lift the basket and put the ball into it.

This video tutorial is about accomplishing the Pull-Up bar mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay robotics competition. The goal of the mission is to move with the robot and pull the robot up. With this video tutorial you will learn how to build such attachments and how missions that are about lifting the whole robot could be accomplished. The attachment also makes a very good use of rubber bands.

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.

This animation demonstrates the principle of aligning to a line with two color sensors and a LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor robot. This is a useful concept for FIRST LEGO League competitions where you want to know exactly where you are on the field and to achieve consistent behavior. In the course lesson you will also find a live video tutorial where we enter into more details about aligning. We align the robot to a line by moving both sensors slowly until they both see a black line. When one of them sees the line we move only the other. At the end we return the first sensor back.

This video tutorial demonstrates again the consistency of the program for aligning to a line. We run it ten time. We the robot is always coming from the left it is always arriving at the same position. When it is coming from the right it is always arriving at the same position.

This LEGO robotics video tutorial is a 10 out of 10 run of the one of the most complex missions at the FIRST LEGO League 2021 RePlay competition. As the mission has three parts we are measuring the success rate of each part of the mission. What you can learn from this tutorial is how to achieve three missions in a single run including line following and a lot of aligning

With this video tutorial we demonstration the consistency and reliability of the using an intersection to position on the field. We move forward and we stop at the first intersection. We detect the intersection with a sensor. In the whole 10 runs there isn't a single mistake and you can see the precision of the robot on each run. Check it out and experiment with the same program for your robot.

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.

This video tutorial demonstrates an attachment that flips a mission model. The mission model is attached to the field, but it contains a lever. This lever must be flipped from one side to the other. There is a switch. We use a pinless active attachment with gear wheels, and you can see how this works in the tutorial. There is no use of sensors as we don't need them. We will leave the alignment and positioning for some other tutorials.

This robotics video tutorial is about the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay competition and how we accomplish the Slide mission with a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot. The goal of the Slide mission is to collect two LEGO Mini figures and bring them back to base. We are demonstrating a simple attachment that collects 2 figures placed in an add way. The whole attachment must bring one of the figures up and then back.

In this video tutorial, we use the motion sensor and demonstrate 10 out of 10 times how we can keep the robot moving in a straight line. The program is described in the previous tutorial in the lesson where we enter into the programming. Here we visualize how consistent and reliable the behavior of the robot is.

In this video tutorial we accomplish the Unused Capacity mission by pushing the mission model outside of the field in the area where we are allowed to touch the robot. We deliver the mission model to the side of the field. Before delivering, we must of course reach it and that's not always easy.

In this video tutorial we accomplish the Cell Phone mission from the FIRST LEGO League robotics competition, season 2020-2021. The goal of the mission is to flip a phone. There were a couple of missions in the past with one important mission in 2017 that was very similar. It is a 10 out of 10 tutorial which means we accomplish the cell phone mission every time.

This FIRST LEGO League robotics video tutorial is about the Treadmill mission and how it could be accomplished. The mission is from FLL 2020 RePlay competition. Almost every year there is a mission of this type where the robot must spend a lot of time with the mission model in order to turn or lift something. These are quite interesting and challenging missions.

In this LEGO robotics video tutorial we accomplish Weight Machine mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2021 RePlay robotics competition. The goal of the competition is to lift a weight. The mission model resembles a weight machine, and is actually a lever. There are three different levels and you earn different points depending on the level. The attachment for this mission model uses rubber bands and lifts the mission model.

In this video tutorial, we demonstrate how to gently push an object to accomplish the mission. "Gently" means that we are pushing but not with force. If we push using force, the mission model will fall, and we will not accomplish the mission. We use LEGO Education SPIKE Prime and the Ultrasonic Sensor.

This is a tutorial with 10 runs - 5 of them are slow and 5 of them are fast and we measure how accurate the robot is each time. How consistent is it? Can it arrive consistently on a specific location on the field without the use of the sensors? The quick answer is - No, it can not. But let's see it life

The Cell Phone mission is part of the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay competition. The goal of the mission is to flip the Cell Phone. In this video tutorial we use a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot to flip the cell phone. This mission is similar to the FLL 2017: How to accomplish Manhole Cover (08th) Mission in FIRST LEGO League 2017-2018.

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.

This is the first, but not the last video tutorial of the course where we reach a specific mission model in a consistent way. We use the Motion sensor and only some basic principles like turning to an angle. If we use the principles in this tutorial and then build an attachment for the mission model we will have a pretty consistent way of accomplishing the FIRST LEGO League mission
