Designed to get students started with VEX EDR and RobotC. The robotics set is not very easy to use and offers its challenges. In the course we take a step-by-step approach to moving, turning and using sensors. A big part of the course is about programming and using the RobotC software for the Cortext controller.
This course is still under development and constantly change and extended.
After the first box robot course and its enormous success, we decided to build a second box robot. This time with fewer parts and with only three motors. The EV3 set comes with one medium motor and this robot will be easier for new teams. It is also lighter and more simple. Take the course and learn the ideas that we have in mind in simplifying a robot. Use this course with students and try to experiment to make the attachments and construction even simpler.
Robotics competitions with LEGO Mindstorms robots are very popular. One of the more popular types of robot constructions that are build for such competitions are the so-called "Box Robots". In this course we are gathering a series of videos on this box robots along with building instructions and recommendations of improvements.
This course if used by teams, mentors and students to structure the preparation for the Robotics Game of the FIRST LEGO League Robotics Competitions. One thing that is common each year at FLL is that experience matters a lot. Our goal with this course is to quickly bring new teams up to speed with experienced teams and to share some new tricks, patterns, constructions with the more experienced teams.
You must dive. You must count. You must release. Well, not exactly you, but the robot. In this playlist we present an example solution to the WRO 2015 challenge along with some nice constructions for releasing balls while counting them with a robot. That sounds pretty easy, but could get quite challenging when the number of balls is large.
Moving in a grid of objects. That's the large challenge of the World Robotics Olympiad 2015 Junior-High 2015. It's called Treasure Hunt. In this playlist we present an example solution to it. In the first video we would build a robot that can collect the boxes (treasures). The robot would also be able to move around the treasures.
These are a couple of structured examples and tutorials of how the missions for FIRST LEGO League 2015 Trash Trek competition could be accomplished. We've gathered recordings and explanations from which students and teacher can learn a lot. There are missions and attachment for dropping, carabiner, loops and other interesting and challenging robotics missions from the competition.
This playlist of videos is about World Robotics Olympiad 2014 Elementary Challenge. Modules are positioned on different places on the fields. The robot must collect and bring the module near each other. The it must lift them and place them like they are ready for "rocket launching". In the mean time Humans must be collected and returned to the safety zone. We build a robot with a grabber and in interesting program for solving the missions.
Videos for the World Robotics Olympiad 2014, Junior-High competition. We loved it because, let's be honest, it is about space, and don't we all love topics connected with space.
These are a couple of structured examples and tutorials of how the missions for FIRST LEGO League 2014 Word class competition could be accomplished. We've gathered recordings and explanations from which students and teacher can learn a lot. There are missions and attachment for rubber bands, lifting with rubber bands, throwing and other interesting and challenging robotics missions from the competition.
Presenting a sequence of videos, materials and programs for accomplishing the WRO Elementary 2013. We present arrays, menus, counting colors and many more.
These are a couple of structured examples and tutorials of how the missions for FIRST LEGO League (FLL) 2013 Nature's Fury competition could be accomplished. We've gathered recordings and explanations from which students and teacher can learn a lot. There are rubber bands, lifting attachments and a lot of trucks that we are pulling and pushing at this robotics competition.
These are a couple of structured examples and tutorials of how the missions for FIRST LEGO League 2012 Senior Solutions competition could be accomplished. We've gathered recordings and explanations from which students and teacher can learn a lot. There are pinless attachments, categorization, heavy lifting, a lot of rubber bands and at the end we destroy the field at this robotics competition field mat.
