This is the attachment of Team "Nightbeast", with which they :
1. M10–Food Production
2. M12–Satellite Orbits
3. Move the Cone Module to base
From Missions M06, M10 and M12 from FLL Into Orbit Challenge
The run with this attachment is very inconsistent and fails very often.
You will need to attach the attachment on the 7th hole from the top on the right part of the robot as shown:
You can find the attachment here.
One more example for an active attachment with a system of gear wheels. This time the system is constructed so that the attachment could lift heavy objects.
The block that constanlty increase the speed while turning. The goal of this is to reduce the acceleration of the robot when it starts turning so that no modules will fall.
There is only one input parameter in this block and this is the Angle on which you want your robot to rotate.
The field in the game of life could be finite or infinite. It is interesting to see and learn how an infinite field behaves and works.
The program from part 3 should be refactored and improved to make it easier to understand and support. We extract most of the repeatable behaviours in a loop and this reduces the size of the program three times in terms of the number of blocks used.
At the beginning of the program the clam waits to be opened. When it feels someone is trying to open it, the shell starts closing until reaching the initial closed state and then stops moving. Most students will cope with this task very fast and will program the robot to close for seconds. Nevertheless, explain how the rotation sensor can also be used. Tell your students how much energy it takes to use a muscle for a longer time. The program is uploaded here. That is how the final program for the Clam robot should look like:
