In this short animation we demonstrate how the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor Distance sensors could be attached to the robot and then use to stop at distance from a wall. This wall could be the border of the field or another mission model. We need an attachment, we need a sensor and we need the robot. In the live video in the lesson we enter into more details and explanations of how the sensor is used. Programs for the distance sensor are provided in the lesson and in the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor Programming course we enter into more details about how to program the distance sensor

In this video tutorial we discuss probably the most useful principle that we've found for FIRST LEGO League competitions and this is how to align to a line with two color sensors. We use the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor for a quick demonstration of the principle. In the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor Programming course we enter into more details of how exactly we program the sensors. The current tutorial demonstrates the use of such a program and makes clear why this could be very useful and is a must for any well prepared team and wants to achieve a good score on the competition.

In this video tutorial we demonstrate the importance of properly shielding and protecting the light/color sensors of your LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor robots. These principles generally apply for all kind of robots. The problem is that external light sources from the venue could change the behavior of the robot - like have you ever been to a competition venue where the lighting just makes the robot behave in different ways? - well this tutorial is for you!
