This Scratch (Word Blocks) program is for controlling Gazon, LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot to accomplish FIRST LEGO League (FLL) 2020 RePLAY Challenge mission 09 - Tire Flip. Check out the lessons where this program is use for specific demonstrations and explanations on how the program works.
In this program we demonstrate how to accurately reach a mission model with basic use of Gyro Sensor from LEGO Education SPIKE Prime.
This program was intended for and tested on the Gazon robot
In this course, we demonstrate and explain example solutions for the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Cargo Connect competition. Just like every year, we share solutions only after the season is over. In this course, you will find examples and principles of building attachments and will learn how to program consistent and reliable robots for each mission. You can follow the course, and as you go through each mission, try to replicate the solutions to understand the programs and explanations. Upon completion of the course, you will have many new ideas about how to approach the missions in every FLL robotics competition and how to help your team score more points.
Before starting this course, we suggest you go through the FIRST LEGO League robot game guide
This is the robot that we use to demonstrate a solution for the World Robot Olympiad 2021 Junior competition. This is a Post season solution. We never release any solutions during the season as this will have a negative impact on the competition.
We started with this robot and it has a few good ideas. It can collect two cars at the same time. We later decided to go for a more powerful robot. Check out WRO 2021 Junior: Slaimi - a post season WRO competition solution robot
The program uses the light and color sensor along with the motion sensor to accomplish the mission. It contains a few interesting tricks on detecting lines and configuring the behavior of the robot with specific params.
We use this positioning attachment with the Kriket box robot and it's run of five missions in a row
This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial in which the MiniBox robot accomplishes the M12, M13, and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge competition. The MiniBox is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot that uses detachable attachments.
In this run, the robot performs five actions: it collects the M15 minifigure and throws it backward, rotates the chicken for M12, and then pushes and pulls the M13 Craft Creator mission model. All of these actions are completed in under 15 seconds!
Note: Make sure this activity does not take more than 10 minutes.
During this exercise, use the table that shows where the LEGO parts are located. Show students where to find this table and explain that it will help them organize and find parts in their boxes.
Say the name and color of a part from the upper section of the box and let students try to find it. When they pick the wrong part, name it so they can learn the difference.
Examples of parts you can ask for:
blue long pin;
black pin;
gray bush;
yellow half bush.
Explain that LEGO parts are not measured in centimeters, but in LEGO units. Show the measuring beam on the table and how it is used.
Ask students to find axles of different lengths. Alternate between even and odd lengths. Explain that axles with even lengths are usually black, while those with odd lengths are gray.
Finally, turn the table around and ask students to find a beam of a specific length from the box.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to rotate a motor to an exact angle using a simple command. This allows you to control your robot more precisely without tracking its previous movements. It’s especially useful when your program becomes longer and more complex.
