LEGO MINDSTORMS

It has been a long road with the last 8 BigDaddy competition robots video tutorials, but we finally arrived at the Differential Lock. 

There are many loops in the FIRST LEGO League competition. In this video we collect some of them by following the idea of the ELM team. 

Build a similar mechanism to this one. Similar, but for your robot. This is the task for you. Try, give yourself half and hour or even an hour.

In this tutorial we accomplish the Elevated places with the Whakatae - LEGO Education SPIKE Prime Competition Box robot mission. It is important to be able to go over the mission model and at the end with a simple mechanism we just push the mission model at the end

Background

After a hard working day everybody needs a little rest. What better end of the day than a little bowling game?

Mission

In this version of bowling the objective is to knock down all 6 pins using the ball located in the base. After the first use of the ball it can be returned in base once it has completely stand at rest.

Scores

For each knocked down pin: 7 points.

If all 6 pins are knocked, you receive additional: 18 points.

Scoring Requirements

• The pins can be touched only by the ball.
• The ball should be completely free, when touching the pins.
• Any part of the robot should be completely outside of the bowling lane, when releasing tha ball. 

In more advanced robotics programming, your robot may need to respond in three or more different ways depending on sensor input. Up to this point, we've created programs with only two possible outcomes using a switch block: a condition is checked, and the robot performs one action or the other based on the result.

But what if the robot needs more than just two responses? To handle this, we can use multiple conditions—often implemented with nested switch blocks or structured decision chains. In this section, we’ll explore how to build programs that go beyond binary choices and enable your robot to react intelligently to more complex environments.
