Programs

This program is a final version of the game played with EV3 Kinesthetic and Memory Game. In this game you are given a sequence of hints which you are expected to remember and to perform the right actions in the given order.

The solution to every task in the second lesson of the 3.0 module.

The program is designed for this robot.

Download the whole Mindstorms EV3 project created in the tutorial with the myBlocks included:

This package contains the three blocks used in the advanced calibration section of the FLL course.

The blocks contained are:

• InitiArray block
• CalibrateMinMax
• GetCalibrateValue 

Program for detecting the lines without using a wait block.

This program is developed with LEGO Education SPIKE App Python and is used to make the Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions align to a line with two color sensor. It's a mechanism we've used with EV3, NXT and now SPIKE.
