In this video tutorial, we accomplish three missions, four actions - 10 out of 10, to see the consistency and reliability of our Minibox box robot. We must do a push, a pull, we must do some rotation work to rotate the chicken, and we must collect one human with a loop. We use the Minibox robot with an attachment that will accomplish the four actions, the three missions at the same time. It goes from base, it accomplishes them all. It's a 10 out of 10. For a 10 out of 10, it takes time. This tutorial will probably take about five, six minutes. First run: quite successful. What you can see with the runs is that we are trying to leave the attachment near the mission models with every run. This is because we want to demonstrate the principles of how you do this. How you build attachments in such a way that you can leave the attachments, they can detach from your robot, and you can leave them right there next to the mission model, which is a great tool to have in your toolbox. This is a great principle that you must learn and you can use because sometimes you just need to leave the attachment right there next to the mission model. The rest is like four actions, and we'll stop at each of the four actions. The first action is collecting the human with the loop, and you can see that we shoot it. We built the attachment in such a way that you can actually shoot it back and you must catch it. There should be someone next to the base to catch this human. It's not a human, it's a minifigure, but you get the point. Then, the next action is the rotation work. And you can see it here on the right, where we have to rotate the chicken. And for it, we use two gear wheels at the front. When you have mission models that are right next to each other, it is always a good practice to try to group the missions in such a way that you can accomplish them at the same time. This is because they are right next to each other, and it's worth accomplishing them when you get to them, accomplishing them both at the same time. The next run:
Again, a very good performance from the robot, Minibox box robot, and the missions are accomplished. What you can take away from this tutorial is: first, the way the four actions are accomplished, and also how the attachments are detached. Take a look at the building instructions. Take a look at the previous tutorial. Try to build the robot. Try to build the attachment. Try to accomplish the missions. And as you try to accomplish the missions, you'll see how we build attachments that are detached from the robot. The pull mechanism is also really cool. It pulls and at the same time it locks itself and you can detach it from the robot. That's really cool also. One thing that we should often do with the robot is try to clean the wheels, especially the tires of the wheels, because if there is some dirt on the tire, it will probably slip. And if it slips, it reduces the consistency and reliability of the robot, and we must have this consistent and reliable behavior. A few more runs, and we are done. It's a 10 out of 10 that we are looking for - how can we get 10 out of 10 runs. And it's quite stable for now, the robot, I mean. One more run. Move. Connect with the mission models. Accomplish.
Last run, 10 out of 10. No mistakes. Very consistent, very reliable robot. Take the principles of the attachment, use them in your own robots, make more points during the competition, and of course, have more fun. Hope this is helpful, and I'll see you in the next tutorial.
