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!

FIRST LEGO League competitions are held in large venues. Large venues need lighting and this lighting will be very different from the one that you have in your team room where you prepare in the month leading to the competition. This means you must somehow, at the day of the competition, change the programming of the robot and the sensor so that you take into account the lighting on the tables. More over than that, sometimes, like every time, the competition tables in the venue will have a different lighting conditions than the training tables in the venue. The competitions tables are surrounded by a lot of cameras, and are on 'stage' while the training tables are just on the side.
In the tutorial we demonstrate how you could use a 'shield' for the LEGO Mindstorms Color sensor. By using a shield you keep the lighting conditions for the sensor the same. No external lighting sources could have any influence on the sensor and the robot behavior, and this could only help you win the competition.

FIRST LEGO League with LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor. "Challenge" competition for 9-16 years old
The goal of this course is to take you through some of the most useful principles for building and using attachments to accomplish missions at FIRST LEGO League competitions. The whole course is based on a LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor and you need a single 51515 set and without additional parts (you will need a second color sensor for the lessons for using two color sensors, but feel free to skip them if you don't have it). For every mission there is a Scratch and Python program attachment. The course consists of 25 lessons suitable for beginner and advanced students. Every lessons consists of a video tutorial demonstrating the principle and how the mission could be accomplished along with building instructions for the robot, the attachment and programs for controlling the robot.
