These are instructions on how to build the:
You can find more building instructions and tips and tricks about the competition on this page.
The integral part "remembers" the errors that the robot has made in the past and we can compensate for those errors. This will make the robot return back to the line that we would like to keep it aligned.
First time programming the motors of the robot using the EV3-G software installed on a computer. We would explore how to move forward/backward and turn with the robot.
You should already know how to create, edit and import My blocks. Now we will take a step further the process of editing the My block. We know how to alter the blocks within the My block, but what if we need to change the name or the icon of the block?
A program for the Comet robot.
It uses an Infrared sensor and the Infrared remote control. The program uses the following MyBlocks:
NOTE: The program contains my blocks, that will appear broken if you use any version before 1.3.0 of the EV3 Mindstorms Software
Many times we just upload blocks and leave it up to you to use it. In this tutorial, I would like to show you how to use the implemented blocks. How to import them into the EV3-G software. How to see them in the palette. How to drag and drop them to build a working program.
You will need to attach the Angled beam on the 5th hole from the top on the left of the robot, as shown:
