Video tutorials

This is the task for you. We've shown you in the previous tutorials how to do it, how to use a drill and a hacksaw and a grinding stone to cut and shape a PVC pipe. Now it's your turn. Don't forget to show us pictures -> right here in the comments section

The robotics tutorial is about the shape of the pipe its advantages and disadvantages.

In this robotics tutorial, we present a solution to extending a VEX IQ attachment to handle two hex balls at a time

The tutorial is about what are the parts that you should buy to have the Ball Collecting mechanism. 

The next challenge of the course is to build a container where you could store the balls (objects) that you are collecting. The first thing is to see how it works as an end result. You can use the same principle during FIRST Technical Challenge competitions. You can also fire the balls, just by rotating the axle in reverse. 

In this robotics tutorial, we give a few notes for the teacher about adding an axle to the front of the FTC robot and attaching a plastic plate to this axle to make the robot collect balls. 

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.

.

How to add a plastic plate to the FIRST Technical Challenge Robot build with Tetrix. The plastic plate is for collecting the balls. The plate should rotate and should be connected to the axle.

How do you synchronise the two levers to move with the same speed, but in opposite directions? 

Attach an axle to the front of the robot. Find a similar one, or modify the FTC Tetrix robot to accommodate the new axle. 

The topic of this tutorial is the purpose of a system of gears when throwing a ball.

How to construct an axle with a plastic plate connected to this axle and make this plate rotate and collect balls.

The length of the lever has a certain effect when hitting the ball. In this tutorial, I would like to discuss what it's the effect. 

There are modifications that you must do on the FTC PushBot robot. Let's discuss them

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.

In this tutorial we go through the VEX IQ Challenge. Most of the challenges are related with manipulating objects. The most common object used in competitions are balls. That is why we take a look at a simple mechanism that can be used for throwing a ball.
