Programs

This program makes Tohuru - LEGO SPIKE Prime owl robot move like an owl! What does an owl move like? Well, we decided that an important part of an owl's life is that it holds strong onto a branch! So the first part of the program makes the robot hold onto anything that is between its two wheels. After the owl starts spinning his head and searches for the closest object to him. Then he stares at it menacingly until it moves away!

This program makes Larvy - LEGO SPIKE Prime larva robot move forward indefinitely! The movement of this robot is very interesting as it works like a caterpillar or larvae! The program works by repeating 3 movements every cycle of the loop:

1. the front motor rotates for 90 degrees, rising or collapsing its wheels
2. the large motor rotates for 90 degrees, contracting or expanding the robot
3. the back motor rotates for 90 degrees, rising or collapsing its wheels

You may notice that every movement command does two things, or the same thing but a different direction. That is done using a variable that is either 1 or -1, and that gives the direction that the motors should move. This variable is also used to determine which motor should use full power and which shouldn't so that the robot doesn't break itself!

This program is for Susan and Mark - a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 T-Rex chasing a car. The program makes the T-Rex wait for the car to reach a certain speed, and then attack it. This is made to resemble the T-Rex's said inability to see slow moving things. The goal of the program is to get the car's cable to stretch, while moving it by hand, when its wheels are turning and without the T-Rex noticing. The detection is made using the current power option on the motor rotation sensor.

This program is for Frog Bot - LEGO Mindstorms Robot that could jump. The program makes the robot move like a toy car with a wind up mechanism. It starts by waiting for three seconds, when you should turn the legs of the frog by hand backward. Then it makes a sound, and the robot starts jumping forward, as much as you have wound it up. The program uses motor rotation sensor to know how much it was wound up.

This program is for Midas - a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Clam robot. It makes the clam robot detect when it is being opened and then to close itself. It utilizes the rotation sensor as a way to know if it is being forced and to know when it should stop closing afterwards.

This project is for Piscis - a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Fish robot. The project includes two programs for two different feeding spots for the fish. The first one is straight across the reef in which Piscis lives, and the second one is to the side, after a 90 degree turn. In those programs the fish robot has to wait a few times in order to be sure no sharks are around him. It detects feeding spots using a touch sensor. The interesting part is how it returns, without knowledge how far it has gone. The program uses motor rotation sensor in order to return to the reef in both cases.

This program is for Antares - a simple LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Scorpion robot. The program uses rotation sensor to detect if the scorpion has caught anything using its claws. We predict how many degrees the claw has to move to close fully and if it hasn't done that many, it has caught something.

This project is for Lintu - a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Kiwi bird robot. The project includes three programs, the first is the main program for the robot. It goes forward until it sees a hand next to its beak, then closes it and returns to the starting point, its nest. The second program is an upgrade: the robot not only closes its beak, but also check if there is "food" in it. Both the checking for food and the returning to starting position are made using the motor rotation sensor.

The last program is a fun one. It makes the robot bite!

This is a program for the Sebastian crab robot. It makes the robot walk, but also keeps track of where its legs are. It makes those who overrun the others to stop and wait for them. 

This program is for Cardiidae - a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Clam robot. It provides a solution for the final tasks in Lesson 1, level D1. It makes the clam robot detect when it is being opened and then to close itself.

A program for one of the scariest robots ever - Mantissa.

A collection of MyBlocks, that help you use the Turtle robot. The MyBlocks used are the following:
FollowCourse: Makes the turtle rotate, until it reaches the course it uses. If it's already on it, this MyBlock makes the turtle go forward. It uses the power you set it on.
PickNewCourse: Makes the turtle pick a new course.
HideInShell: Makes the turtle hide in its shell for the designated amount of seconds.
CurrentAndDesiredCourse: Displays the Current course and the course it wants on the display of the robot.

Careful: Gyro Sensor port in this program is port 3. Check your cables when you run this program.

NOTE: The program contains my blocks, that will appear broken if you use any version before 1.3.0 of the EV3 Mindstorms Software

A program, that makes the Turtle  follow a designated course and get back to it, even if it's been manually rotated. It also hides in its shell when it sees anything close to it.

Careful: Gyro Sensor port in this program is port 3. Check your cables when you run this program.

NOTE: The program contains my blocks, that will appear broken if you use version before 1.3.0 of the EV3 Mindstorms Software
