There is a rule in the world of programming: "Duplication should be removed"
There are different tools for removing duplication and one of the most basic ones is the Loop. Today we would focus on the Loop
In previous tutorials we have learnt how to Create and Import My blocks in the EV3 Mindstorms Software. However, we often need to edit the blocks we have created. Even more often we need to edit the blocks we have imported, so that they match our setup. Now we will take a look at how we can achieve that.
In this video we discuss how do we transfer power from the motors that are "inside the robot box" to the gear wheels that are "outside the robot box".
Building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Motorcycle, but this time with helper wheels. The helper wheels solve the problem of making turns with the robot. If the robot loses balance it will fall. The goal of the helper wheels is to make it easier for the robot to turn. Small modification, but really make a difference.
This block accurately turns the robot to a specific angle. One of the most useful blocks that you could use during competitions. The block makes the robot turn and when the robot makes an error, the block will correct for this error.
Finally, you can be sure that the robot has turned to the specific angle that you want.
You have three inputs
VERY IMPORTANT: This is a block for EV3-G. You download and import this block from Project Settings->Blocks->Import. If you are using Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge and you click to download the file it will try to save it as "zip". DO NOT SAVE IT AS ZIP. Save it as "ev3s" or just PLEASE, STOP using Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge. This will dramatically improve your browsing experience.
All green movement blocks have several settings in common:
So far we have discussed only the first two settings. Now we will focus on the third one and see what it is used for!
We will learn how to connect and disconnect LEGO cables and on which ports exactly to connect the motors.
Nice idea. Lift the other robot and throw it in the air. Not easy, but Varna is trying to do it. It's a quite powerful robot with small wheels and gear ratio of x3. This means the power is increased 3 time from the motor to the wheel.
Surely you can work with it and even improve it.
This one is very special- an attachment that could lock itself on purpose while working.
