Building instructions for a Light LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Competition Robot that could be used in LEGO Robotics competitions

Following the Advance Sensor Calibration course section, we found the min and max values detected by each sensor. Now it is time for the real deal of the calibration. Detect the current value from the sensor and find what is the percentage of this value for the range between min and max.
As an exercise try to implement the calibration of the minimum and maximum values for a single sensor.
Playing Football with robots is extremely fun. It could be part of the classes, it could be part of demonstration days. This is a EV3 LEGO Mindstorms Project including the programs for controlling the WRO Football Striker and the WRO Football Goalkeeper, as well as all of the necessary My blocks.
This is an example program for tug of war with two touch sensors. The game can be played with almost any robot, so we used: https://www.fllcasts.com/materials/265-five-minute-bot, because it is the simplest. You have to attach two touch sensors at ports 1 and 4, preferably with long cables. You can also add a color sensor to port 3, which will detect when to end the game, although this is not required. The game is simple, two human players click the touch sensors as fast as they can. The robot moves in the direction of the one that clicks the fastest and the goal is to bring it to your finish line.
The program teaches about counters and flags. A big part of it is the good names of variables and loops and the addition to plenty of comments, from which students can learn how to form their program.

Dominator is a compact LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Box robot from the family of the Roller Coaster and Kiddo box robots. Similar to the previous two robots, Dominator also can move its front part up, down, left and right. This robot also has the same length of movement as its two predecessors of this type - 8 LEGO pins on the side and up.
The difference is that Dominator has fewer parts and has a perfect center of weight that allows it to use large attachments and lift heavy objects without threatening its stability. The movement on the X and Y axes has the same gear ratio. The light sensors are attached to the movable part of the robot which enables it to both follow a line and recognize the color of various object with height lower than 7 LEGO units.

This WRO robot is designed to collect a lot of ping pong balls in its container. It's built with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 45544 and 45560 sets. These are the LEGO Educational sets. The robot has two chains that collect the balls and push them into the container attachment. This is one of the larges robots we've uploaded at FLLCasts yet. You could learn a lot by following the building instructions and paying attention to the details of how this robot is built. All the alignment, all the connections. Really beautiful.
