Video tutorials, Courses, Materials and Programs

We will share the idea behind that challenge and how to conduct the challenge in a classroom.

There is the Move Tank programming block in the software. It allows us to set different power to each motor.

In real life, the same concept is used in cars, for example. The traction control systems apply different power to different wheels, so that the car is more stable on the road during turns or on slippery road.

Once you start turning how to do you a whole 180 degrees turn. The robot almost does it, but not completely

We encourage you to explore the software on your own.

In the EV3-G software, you could use negative numbers for power and rotations. In this episode, we would look at what is the meaning of this numbers and make a few notes of where the teacher must be more careful.

Specific challenge on programming the robot to move as a Yo-Yo

Now that you have tried and solved a challenge involving a series of instructions, we would like to share a few best practices.

Why we change the robots all the time and what to observe in each new robot.

The FIRST LEGO League competition is similar each year. With a little experience you could accomplish most of mission. The goal of this episode is to introduce you to the course, its purpose and approach.  

In this tutorial, we connect the Motorola phones to the Tetrix controller using the USB hub.

In this tutorial, we would build a simple program for controlling the Tetrix robot motors with the GamePads. We use the stick and when the stick is pushed forward the motors move forward. When it is pushed backwards the robot moves backwards. 

In this tutorial, we are controlling the FTC Tetrix robot with the two sticks of the same GamePad. The left stick is for forward and backwards, while the right stick is for left and right.

By using the GamePad to control the arm with could lift it and return it back. The main problem with controlling the arm is that if you just use the motors you would hit the robot, bend the axles and breaks the gear wheels. We would use the distance sensor to make the arm move without hitting the robot.
