In this episode we look at the way this robot is balanced. A well-balanced robot could handle heavier attachments without losing track of its position on the robotics competition field.
Althogh they are birds, Kiwis can’t fly, so they have adopted a running lifestyle.
Probably you've noticed that in the dark-blue section with blocks there is one block, that looks like a complete opposite to the block for starting the program. What is this block doing? How should we use it?
This is another LEGO Mindstorms grabber, but this time it has 4 fingers! They are moved simultaneously by a medium motor. The grabber was taken from Cron - LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Crane.
If you've come this far in the course you deserve a big award. Presenting to you the Catapult (that, by the way, has a clutch).
First, you could see the end construction of this section and then we could enter into details. And we would even use a Clutch.
For World Robotics Olympiad Ball Collection competitions we prepared an interesting Robot Base Chassis that could be extended with a container. The container contains the ping-pong ball. A mechanism collects them. This LEGO Mindstorms EV3 building instructions are for the chassis of the robot and were one of the versions from a series of robots.
When attaching an Ultrasonic sensor to a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot it is important to follow a number of rules to make sure that the sensor is stable and usable.
The color sensors supports different modes of working. In this video we are working with the Reflected light, which is not actually the detected color. Most robotics sensors actually work with reflected light and you should definitely learn how to use this mode.
