Yolanda - LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Sailship robot
Yolanda comes from the novel "Yolanda, the Black Corsair's Daughter" by Emilio Salgari.
The robot resembles a sailship with two masts. The mast in the back is connected to a medium motor, which allows it to rotate with some limits. The mast also has a gyro sensor in the back. These are placed so that the gyro sensor detects which way "the wind is blowing" and moves the sails that way. The second mast is connected to the first one so that it moves accordingly. The robot also uses two large motors to move.

Multi-axles, many-directional LEGO Mindstorms mechanism for transferring power (almost a gear box). Part 1
Given the large number of gear wheels and axles in each EV3 and NXT sets there are many possibilities for building gear mechanisms. We are developing something like a gear box that has different axles that could all turn in different directions.

Program for the EV3 yacht robot Robotics Supreme
This project is for Robotics Supreme - LEGO Mindstorms EV3 yacht robot. It contains three programs.
The first one follows a line using one color sensor and detects if the robot has been pushed. Then it plays an alarm and stops the program.
The second program makes the robot go in a square, using the gyro sensor wait-change block. This makes it one of the easiest square solutions there is.
The third program makes the robot follow a direction. That is accomplished similarly to the linefollowing, but instead it uses the gyro sensor and always follows a straight line.
