Complete introduction to the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Touch sensors from the very first step. In this video tutorial we program the robot to stop on touch sensor pressed. Again, this is based on your feedback that much of our tutorials in previous years were a little more advanced and that we have never made a proper introduction. A few more videos on touch sensor will follow after this
These are building instruction for a working automatic catapult with a motor and a touch sensor.
Another MyBlock that we've created is the SmoothTurn block. It's a block that helps you to drag or pull mission models or other parts more safety. Very often, when there are mission models that should be moved to the base, they are dropped by the robot when it is turning very sharply. This block resolves the problem. It constantly 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.
This frame holds the motor and ev3 brick used in the catapult. The frame is placed on top of the rotating base and thus could be easily rotated. The brick could be both NXT and EV3
Tasks for the Gyro sensor that you can use in STEM classes, while preparing for a competition or just to explore how the sensor works.
Dominator is a compact LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Box robot from the family of the Roller Coaster and Kiddo box robots. Similar to the previous two robots, Dominator also can move its front part up, down, left and right. This robot also has the same length of movement as its two predecessors of this type - 8 LEGO pins on the side and up.
The difference is that Dominator has fewer parts and has a perfect center of weight that allows it to use large attachments and lift heavy objects without threatening its stability. The movement on the X and Y axes has the same gear ratio. The light sensors are attached to the movable part of the robot which enables it to both follow a line and recognize the color of various object with height lower than 7 LEGO units.
This module is meant to be used in EV3 Kinesthetic and Memory Game and is attached to the base of the robot. This module uses the color sensor to detect the colors on its wheel.
Rollbar is a handy device, which only purpose is to measure lengths. Its main purpose is to measure curved lines.
It's designed for right-handed people, but with some small adjustments, it could fit any palm.
