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.
How to place the cup on the robot so that the challenge is challenging.
We are showing the basics of communication between LEGO Mindstorms NXT Bricks using a Bluetooth connection. In the next few minutes we will build two programs - one for the master and one for the slave brick, while explaining the essentials for building such programs.
Attach an axle to the front of the robot. Find a similar one, or modify the FTC Tetrix robot to accommodate the new axle.
How to approach that fun relief task.
The more advanced task is to more in a polygon. This would require calculating the degree of each of the turns and RobotC is a language in which you could implement this math calculation very easily.
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 this LEGO robotics video tutorial we accomplish Weight Machine mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2021 RePlay robotics competition. The goal of the competition is to lift a weight. The mission model resembles a weight machine, and is actually a lever. There are three different levels and you earn different points depending on the level. The attachment for this mission model uses rubber bands and lifts the mission model.
10 out of 10 video tutorial for Rowing Machine mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2021 RePlay robotics competition. In the tutorial you will see how to accomplish the mission almost every time. This is a mission that requires a lot of precision so naturally it is difficult to accomplish it every time, but with the right attachment for the LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot it is achievable
In this robotics tutorial, we present a solution to extending a VEX IQ attachment to handle two hex balls at a time
In this episode I would like to show you how to enable the communication between the computer and the NXT brick, through the USB and using the leJOS project. Starting leJOS on Windows is pretty easy. But starting the samples and achieving the communication is the actual problem.
This is the first, but not the last video tutorial of the course where we reach a specific mission model in a consistent way. We use the Motion sensor and only some basic principles like turning to an angle. If we use the principles in this tutorial and then build an attachment for the mission model we will have a pretty consistent way of accomplishing the FIRST LEGO League mission
Present the details
The field in the game of life could be finite or infinite. It is interesting to see and learn how an infinite field behaves and works.
In this video tutorial we accomplish the Cell Phone mission from the FIRST LEGO League robotics competition, season 2020-2021. The goal of the mission is to flip a phone. There were a couple of missions in the past with one important mission in 2017 that was very similar. It is a 10 out of 10 tutorial which means we accomplish the cell phone mission every time.
The power in the car comes from the batteries. The batteries are in a batteries holder. About 5 of them. Two cables are connected to the batteries holder. It is very important to identify which of those cables is the plus and which is the minus.
Take the hacksaw, the drill and let's cut the pipe.
In this video tutorial we accomplish the Boccia mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay competition. We use LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor robot. In this mission we use an attachment that does three things in the same time - align, push one lever and drop a couple of boxes in a target. It is a complex attachment and it is worth the watch.
This video tutorial is about how to accomplish the Rowing Machine mission in the FIRST LEGO League 2021 RePlay robotics competition. The Rowing machine mission model consists of a wheel that should be pushed or pulled and will lift two other wheels, just like a real Rowing Machine. What you will get from this tutorial is an example of how to build a robot that is very precise. The attachment is simple, but the programming is more difficult. You must first align to a line, and then to a wall and then make a precise turn with the robot to accomplish the mission with our attachment.
The task is to find what the best seed is that will live the longest without entering into a loop or without dying. Find it and submit in the tasks section.
The goal of the Innovation project mission is probably to give everybody an easy win on the competition. A mission that does not require an attachment or a complex program and it the same time is quite interesting. In this video tutorial you will see our robot and our innovation project construction, along with how we complete the mission. Hope you like them!
This is a 10 out of 10 video tutorial that is different from the rest. We demonstrate how difficult it is to accomplish a mission and we use an attachment that is working 5 out of 10 times. Our goal with the video is to give everybody the understanding that taking your time to accomplish a mission is the right thing. Most of the 10 out of 10 tutorials at FLLCasts contain solutions and approaches that are working in a repeatable fashion. Not this one. See how difficult it is to accomplish a mission and that we also make mistakes.
10 out of 10 tutorials for the Slide mission was a challenge. There were a lot of glitches with different attachments that we built. At the end we have an attachment that is able to reliably pull the mini figures up, then forward,then down which.
