This video tutorial shows how the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Rider Robot Motorcycle with Cart robot works. You can ride a friend with you.

This video tutorial shows how the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Handlebar Chopper Motorcycle robot works. See how fast it is.

This video tutorial shows how the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Shotgun Motorcycle robot works. The robot is a sligh modification of the Ninja motorcycle because it has assiting wheels

Devi is a stubborn robot. No mater how many times you press the button, it will press the button last. It if you press again, it will press again. Sometimes it will rotate and speak, but will again press the button, and will continue pressing until the end of times. 

One of the students' favorite LEGO Mindstorms robots. Have fun with Iqazator, moving over all kinds of obstacles as a real millitary tank machine. 

The Telephone game is played with 2 or more robots and is extremely funny. Each robot has a color wheel that can be rotated through the medium motor and a color sensor. The first robot on the left rotates the color wheel to a random color. The second robot must detect the color on the wheel and rotate its color wheel to this color. The third detects the color wheel of the second and so on. 

It is described in details in Lesson 4 of Level C2. Cooperation

Here is Mintonet. The robot is created to be used in pairs, but you can also build just one and practice your shooting with a box. The robot works with plastic balls between 5 and 7 cm. Using the ultrasonic sensor it can detect either its partner or a box and then it shoots. How many balls can you score?

LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Crane robot is used to lift, move and load cargo on a cargo truck. There is a mechanism for grabbing a cargo load (eg a blue ball). Crone is also a tower crane and there are balancing wheels on the opposite site of the grabbing mechanism. It was an ultrasonic sensor. 

Here is Iknathir - a LEGO Paper Plane Launcher. Just take a piece of paper, fold it to create a paper plane, place it on top of Iknathir, press the lever forward and the plane will be launched in the air. If you are not sure how to make a paper place, we got you covered! Just go to the following tutorial - How to make a simple paper plane. Feel free to experiment with the structure of the plane. How far can your plane go?

This video tutorial shows how the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Ninja Motorcycle robot works. It's a nice demonstration with the robot moving forward, backward, and slightly to the left and right. 

Here is Turtle - a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot that is designed to look like a sea turtle (may look clumsy but it's not). It has two sensors - ultrasonic and gyro, capable of following its course and navigating through anything. It can even get "angry", if you annoy it too much.

Here is Comet. It is a fast LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Car robot that looks like F1 Racing Car. We've especially designed it to be controlled with the remote control to make it extremelly easy to download the program and start playing with the robot. It also has the option to "press the pedal" (increase the speed) with just the remote control. Check it out.

Here is Lintu. It is a marvelous LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Animal robot that looks like Kiwi, the famous New Zealand bird. It is quite rare to see a Kiwi bird in person. But fear not, we've prepare a robot that looks almost exactly like the original.

Mantissa, a LEGO Mindstorms Robot, moves and attacks. It uses the ultrasonic sensor and it's two special hands. Follow the building instructions and download the prepared program to directly use the robot.  

We've recently received a number of question on how could the SUV box robot be charged. The answer is simple - you detach the back pane. The question and topic of detaching modules from a robot and attaching them again is really interesting and powerfull and yet not very often implemented in many robots. 

Football with robots could be quite fun. Football with LEGO Mindstorms robots is one of the popular categories for competitions with LEGO Mindstorms Robots. 

There are a few main challenges with box robots and in the following tutorial we would like to resolve them. Read on and let's see how we could do this. 

This is where the confusion really comes. We are keeping the robot orientation straight while the robot moves, but at the end the, robot is not at the fiinal location that we would like it to be. The robot is still about 2-3 centimeters away after moving for about a meter.

Following the previous tutorials from the course, implement the calibration of the minimum and maximum values. 

Would you like to resolve all the problems with the light/color sensors that you have? And to make all of them work in a predictable, stable way even when using more than one MINDSTORMS colour sensors. 

When using Color sensors it is important to calibrate them depending on the light conditions in your venue. In this way, the calibrated sensor will show values between 0 and 100 independent of the light conditions. But using the default EV3 colour calibration available in the colour sensor block could lead to unpredicted problems that are difficult to track and resolved especially when used with multiple Color sensors. So in this series of tutorial we implement the calibration ourselves discussing the principles of colour sensor calibration.

Build a rack and try to lift the robot with this rack. 

Our next robot is called CastorBot, because of the castor ball.

Using Display, Sound, Wait and Move blocks together.

Explanation and demonstration of the big task for the lesson.

How far will the robot move for one second?

We encourage you to explore the software on your own.

Overview of the big task that we want to achieve in this module.
