In this episode I will show you how to program the touch sensor part of the LEGO Mindstorms education robotics sets. I have given answers to questions like - how the touch sensor works or how you can use it.
Robots could do chores for us and they must consider the load of the cargo or the robot could be damaged.
We encourage you to explore the software on your own.
Our next robot is called CastorBot, because of the castor ball.
Let's put everything that we have learned so far into practice. Let's make a spy robot!
This video tutorial shows how the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Handlebar Chopper Motorcycle robot works. See how fast it is.
Time to experiment with the controller, the diode and the program that makes the diode blink. Don't be afraid to change the program. We've prepared a number of tasks for you in the course that you should definitely complete before moving forward.
In this lesson we will program our robot to display emotions!
Following the previous tutorials from the course, implement the calibration of the minimum and maximum values.
Let's move with the VEX EDR robot using its motors, the wheels and some RobotC programming. We devide the program in three parts - Connect the motors, program the controller and turning.
Calculate the number of rotations you have to do with the motor to rotate the final small 8 teeth driving gear wheel to 1.25 rotations?
In the first part we built our first 3D LEGO model. Today we will smooth the model we have created and go through the process of creating PDF instructions for building it.
Let's look at what game of life actually is, what are the rules and how to play the game on paper
Level 2 from "FLLCasts Certified VEX IQ Robot Driver - Class R1" certification path is to start on the border of the field, move through to the last obstacle, turn and return back to the first one. turn once again and go up to the second one, turn around one last time and sprint towards the finish line at the border of the field.
For Level 3 from from "FLLCasts Certified VEX IQ Robot Driver - Class R1" certification path you need to slalom along the field. Start on the border of the field move forward until the first obstacle. Turn after it, continue forward, then turn around the second obstacle, continue forward and turn around the last obstacle. Again continue forward, turn around the second obstacle, continue straight around the first obstacle and sprint towards the finish line at the border of the field.
In this episode of the Basic NXT Programming series I will cover the sound sensor. I will explain how to program the sound sensor, stop on common problems faced, when the sound sensor is used and finally we will build a program that will allow us to control the robot's speed through the volume of the sound.
One of the very common tasks on different FIRST Technical Challenge competitions is to collect objects. In this case, these are colourful specifically shaped plastic object or in simple terms - balls.
This video tutorial shows how the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Rider Robot Motorcycle with Cart robot works. You can ride a friend with you.
With this video tutorial, we start with Turns with the VEX EDR robot.
Parents generally use the same email address for their students. When enrolling into a group it is possible to enroll another user for the same email address. We call this a "brother or sister". Brothers and sisters could share the same email address but they have two different usernames.
The process of registering a brother or sister is the following
Using Display, Sound, Wait and Move blocks together.
The dance mission is one of the most straightforward and easy missions to complete at the FIRST LEGO League competitions. This one is from RePLAY competition. The goal is to reach a specific place on the field and dance with the robot. You will see how we dance and have fun with our robot. Never forget to have fun during the competitions.
It seems obvious and intuitive how to connect the robot and the computer. We must cover that part, so that we are sure you can download our programs to the robot later on.
In this tutorial, I will cover the adjustments of the display and the color lamp blocks from the LEGO Mindstorms NXT-G. Today I will show you how to use the color lamp in order to make your robot more interesting or how to display sensors values or try to draw something on the screen of the brick.
We challenge you before we give you the theory: browse in the software and try to achieve the behavior in the video below.
This is a recording of a completely perfect, 10 out of 10 accomplishment of a two-part mission - Train tracks, from the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Cargo Connect competition. Due to the proper use of motion and color/light sensors, the robot is 100% consistent and reliable for a non-trivial mission. Even when the robot makes a mistake, it auto-corrects and compensates for this mistake.
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.
