In this video tutorial we accomplish the Innovation project mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay competition. The goal of the mission is to build a new construction on the day of the competition and to complete a mission with this new construction. There are a couple of spare parts in the FLL set and building the construction for the innovation project was quite fun.
When aligning backward the robot is still very consistent. It does not matter the direction in which we align. What you will learn from this tutorial is what is the consistency and reliability of the robot that you could expect.
In this tutorial we demonstrate how accurate the robot is when we are moving it slow vs when moving it fast. The point of the tutorial is to show that moving slowly is generally much more accurate. It is not accurate enough for a FIRST LEGO League competition, but if you have to move without the use of the sensors you can at least move slow.
Try to solve the challenge of this module and observe the cup.
There are number of settings in a Move block and now we will focus on the rotations setting
There are a number of tools available online to help you play the game. You just seed the initial conditions and leave the game. Let's look at some of the sites.
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.
Find a plastic element. Cut it to 200mm by 140mm and attach this plastic plate to the front of our FIRST Technical Challenge Tetrix Robot.
We will explain inertia non-scientifically so that we make it easy to understand concept.
Display a matrix with "life" and "dead" cells on the EV3 LEGO Mindstorms brick screen. The program is available. You can see it, change it, modify it and learn from it.
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
In this video I am building the five minute robot from LEGO Mindstorms and I am doing a short introduction on how to make the robot move forward and turn around. Throught this series I will be using mostly NXT-G as a programming environment.
Continuing from the last tutorial, we demonstrate the consistency and reliability of the robot when we don't user sensors. The result is pretty obvious - the robot is NOT consistent and reliable. It just makes a lot of mistakes
We start with the previous program where we made the robot move forward and turn. We continue in this tutorial with repeating the same RobotC instructions four times. Our goal is to make the robot move in a square.
In this tutorial we would introduce you to the concept of loops using this VEX EDR Robot. As a final result we would have a program that makes the robot move in a square and not by repeating the same instructions for move and turn four different times.
This video tutorial demonstrates the consistency and reliability of the active attachment that pushes the two mission models. The goal is to use both the attachment and the robot to push the mission model and move the truck and the plane after the blue lines.
This video tutorial is about accomplishing the Pull-Up bar mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay robotics competition. The goal of the mission is to move with the robot and pull the robot up. With this video tutorial you will learn how to build such attachments and how missions that are about lifting the whole robot could be accomplished. The attachment also makes a very good use of rubber bands.
In this robotics tutorial, we give a few notes for the teacher about adding an axle to the front of the FTC robot and attaching a plastic plate to this axle to make the robot collect balls.
How to use the robot when the buttons are not accessible.
Display a matrix on the brick screen. Simple and easy. Download and run the program to see how
During the FIRST LEGO League competition you can hardly use the sound block, because of the noise from the excitement around the tables, but it has a few interesting applications. I this video lesson I will show you how to use the sound block and build a program that makes the robot say which color it sees.
In this lesson we build a simple LEGO Mindstorms NXT calculator program that sums, multiplies, subsctracts or divides two numbers between 1 and 50.
It all started with the famous 2017 mission for flipping a manhole and it was one of our favorite missions ever. Here in this tutorial we demonstrate the same principle of flipping a part from one side to the other. Sounds interesting, yes it is, yes it is.
In this video tutorial we accomplish the Basketball mission 10 out of 10 times. We use one of the more complex attachments for the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay competition. You will see an learn how to successfully and consistently complete a mission that requires the robot to put a ball into a basket and lift the basket, or lift the basket and put the ball into it.
Experiment with the software for about five minutes, before we even give you any directions.
