This animation demonstrates the use of a Grab Attachment build from LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor 51515 set. Many of the FIRST LEGO League missions could be accomplished by grabbing the mission model and the principles shown here is useful for mission models that look like a loop
This program makes the robot move forwards, turn left, move forwards, and then turn right using Robot Inventor - LEGO MINDSTORMS App Python.
This program makes the robot move forwards, turn left, move forwards and than turn right using Robot Inventor - LEGO MINDSTORMS App Word Blocks.
This is an attachment positioned below the robot and used for when we need to push something with the robot. It keeps the cargo in place while pushing. In this way we can achieve a consistent behavior with the robot, which is what we all want
This program makes the robot move forwards, turn left, move forwards, and then turn right, at 20% speed, using Robot Inventor - LEGO MINDSTORMS App Python.
This is an animation of a quick pinless attachment that is placed below the robot and is used to deliver parts, like the Container Mission model, to different parts of the field. In the live video in the lesson we explain more about the principles, while here in the animation you can get a quick overview of how it works and you can try to follow the same principles for an exercise.
This almost box robot is build from the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor set. The idea behind this robot is to be able to build it from Robot Inventor and to use it during FIRST LEGO League competitions
In this video tutorial we continue the exploration of pinless attachments and how to add them and remove them in a quick fashion. We've done this for SPIKE Prime and for EV3 and we will provide some other references in the lesson in the course. The idea of an attachment below the robot is that sometime, during FIRST LEGO League competitions we have to bring a mission model from one place of the field to other. Basically push it.
This short animation demonstrates a really useful principle for FIRST LEGO League competition and this is how to use the Inertia of the robot to trigger an attachment that will do the work for us. It is very useful as we don't have to use the motors of the robot and we can afford to use the motors for other things.
A Scratch (World Blocks) program for LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor 51515 set. With this program we make the robot move forward and stop. In this way the inertia triggered attachment that is placed on the robot is activated and it falls down. Then we return back to base with this mission model that we've collected with the attachment
A Python program for LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor 51515 set. As with the Scratch program this program all makes the the robot move forward and stop. The inertia triggered attachment is activated and when the robot moves back the mission model is returned back to base. The attachment collects the mission model.
This is a live video tutorial of an inertia triggered attachment build with LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor. The attachment, the robot and the mission model are all built from a single 51515 set. The cool thing about inertia triggered attachments is that they are active and are activated without the use of any motors which means that you have the motors for the other missions at FIRST LEGO League competitions. In the tutorial we demonstrate and explain how such attachments works and how they could be used.
On every FIRST LEGO League competition and generally robotics competitions with LEGO robots, we build attachments to accomplish missions and we must accomplish the missions in a limited amount of time. Most of the time we can not accomplish the missions with a single attachment and we have to change attachments. This is where building robot attachments that are easy to remove really makes sense. In this tutorial we discuss some of the things that should be considered in the building Easy to Detach modules and attachments
Containers mission models reworked from a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 version available at 778-containers-mission-models-fllcasts-off-season-challenge-2019 to a LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor version available in this material. In 3D building instructions for you to construct them.
With this animation we demonstrate an example for a quick pinless attachment that could be used to collect loops. Loops is one of the most common missions at FIRST LEGO League competitions. We use the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor set to build the attachment, the mission model and the robot. They are all from the same attachment. In the live video in the same lesson we enter into more details about the attachment and we describe its idea
In the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor set there is only one color sensor. The original Gazon is build from LEGO Education SPIKE Prime where there are two light sensors. The idea behind this robot is to be able to build it from Robot Inventor and to use it during FIRST LEGO League competitions
This program makes the robot move forwards, turn left, move forwards and than turn right, at 20% speed, using Robot Inventor - LEGO MINDSTORMS App Word Blocks.
These are construction plates used as Mission Model for preparing for FIRST LEGO League competition off season. They are build with LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor set and following the idea of the same places with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime construction plates and LEGO Mindstorms EV3 construction plates
This is an Inertia triggered attachment build with a LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor 51515 set. With this attachment we can collect different parts and bring them back to base at FIRST LEGO League competitions. The principle is useful as no additional motors are required for activating this attachment. In the same time it is active which means that it moves and can change it's position in space separately from the robot.. which is useful
We use this attachment to discuss how an attachment and a module from LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor could be build in an easy to detach fashion. Check out the tutorial in the lesson for this attachment for more information about Detachable Modules
This video tutorial is about a detachable attachment. In various FIRST LEGO League competitions there are missions that could be accomplished with an attachment and when you accomplish the mission you must somehow leave the attachment along with the mission model. Probably as a support - most of the time it is as a support. But we've seen some pretty powerful concepts that include things like leaving a clock mechanism that will continue to work for 30 seconds accomplishing the mission.
