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

Control the hand of the FIRST Technical Challenge Push Bot robot with the GamePad bumpers.

This video tutorial focuses on accomplishing M01 Coral Nursery and M03 Coral Reef of the FIRST LEGO League 2024-2025 SUBMERGED Challenge using the Nautiq box robot (a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot). The run uses a pinless motor-powered attachment specifically designed to raise the coral tree to the coral tree support while delivering reef segments outside the launch area. This attachment was chosen after testing multiple designs, and it proved to be one of the most reliable solutions for this task.

The motor-driven lifting mechanism is mounted using long axle pins due to the gearwheel’s position, and a heavy brick is added on top for extra sturdiness, preventing the attachment from popping off during operation. On the side, a simple holder secures the three reef segments collected in previous runs for easy delivery during this mission. This combination allows the robot to lift the coral tree smoothly, place it accurately, and complete the reef segment delivery in a single, well-coordinated sequence.

In this video tutorial, we accomplish 3 missions from FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWERED competition and we do it 10 out of 10 times. We successfully deliver the three objects to 2 different places on the mat. It is interesting that we have to carry the dinosaur toy from one side of the field to the other.

In this video tutorial we accomplish 3 missions from the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWER robotics competition. The three missions are wind turbine, television, rechargeable battery. The robot uses a program with sensor compared to the previous way we've accomplished the missions with the same robot.

This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial on a basic approach for one of the unique challenges in FIRST LEGO League competitions. This basic approach to a solution is not very consistent, and in some of the next tutorials, we will present a new solution. But we decided to record it to demonstrate how reliable this attachment is when it comes to carrying large objects. That could give you ideas of things to avoid.

This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial for pushing gently on a mission model. We also discuss how to build robots that tolerate error and auto-correct their behavior.

In this video tutorial we look at an active attachment that uses gear wheel and the attachment is general enough to be suitable for reuse. This means that a lot of different missions could be accomplished with the same attachment. The goal of the attachment is to transfer power to a lever through a system of axles and gear wheels. It is interesting that we change the orientation of the gear wheels.

This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial where we demonstrate a reproducible completion of a shared mission. The mission is shared as both teams must agree about how they are completing the mission. The tutorials shows the robot approaching the FIRST LEGO League mission model. You will see how the robot pushes on the lever every time for a 10 out of 10 completion.

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

In this tutorial, we set the task of implementing another figure with the robot - a triangle. 

This video tutorial demonstrates how the MiniBox robot completes M11 and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge season. The robot is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot, equipped with a mechanism to rotate the M11 Light Show tower. However, we've opted for a more interesting approach. Let's check it out in the video!

This video tutorial demonstrated the use of an active gear attachment for catching a wheel and pulling it. This is how we accomplish the Rowing Mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2021 competition. What you will learn is how such an attachment works. How you transfer power from the top of the robot where the motors are to the bottom of the robot where the catching mechanism is. Check out the building instructions for the attachment.

This video tutorial focuses on accomplishing M01 Coral Nursery, M02 Shark, M03 Coral Reef, and M04 Scuba Diver of the FIRST LEGO League 2024-2025 SUBMERGED Challenge using the Nautiq box robot (a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot). The run uses a two-part pinless attachment designed to complete multiple missions in a single sequence. The small angled surface mounted under the robot flips the coral buds from M01 and pushes the shark from M02, while the front arm catches and delivers the Scuba Diver from the coral nursery to the coral reef support.

The back section of the attachment flips the coral reef from M03 using a friction-pin mechanism that stays straight during travel but drops the horizontal arm at the mission model to push the yellow plate and raise the coral reef. Extra axles on the front arm prevent the Scuba Diver from falling during delivery, ensuring reliable scoring. This coordinated multi-mission approach maximizes efficiency by combining pushing, collecting, and delivering into one smooth run.

This video tutorial demonstrates how the MiniBox accomplishes four missions - M06, M07, M14, and M15 - of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge robotics competition.

It may seem challenging to achieve all of this in a single run, but with careful planning and solid programming, success is within reach! The robot is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot, equipped with rubber bands and various mechanisms. Since this is our final run, we can leave the robot on the mat, saving some time. Let's dive in!

In this video tutorial, the MiniBox box robot is accomplishing M02 and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge robotics competition. This robot is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot that uses a detachable attachment and rubber band mechanism to achieve its goals.

When the robot presses down the mission model, it activates the detachable attachment which disconnects from the robot and triggers the rubber band mechanism, allowing it to collect the minifigure.

We know this attachment may seem a bit complex, but after a few tries, you'll definitely enjoy working with it!

Here, we discuss the effects of applying this method to the two-state duck-following algorithm.

This is a programming video tutorials. It uses LEGO Education Word Blocks which is the scratch version. We enter into details of how to accomplish missions in a tight spot, how to align the robot and how to make it repeatable.

In this video tutorial, we use the Unload Cargo Ship mission from FIRST LEGO League 2021 Cargo Connect robotics competition to demonstrate how we program the robot to keep a straight line while moving. Do we need that for this mission? Probably not, but we do it either way to demonstrate the solution in a fairly simple mission. The program uses the motion sensor to auto-correct the errors the robot is making while moving.
