Very often we need additional parts to build more complex attachments to increase our chance of winning the competition. These are parts outside of the LEGO Education SPIKE and LEGO Mindstorms sets. That is why, most teams decide to purchase parts that are not included in the official sets.

The FLLCasts team have prepared a list of recommended additional parts each team should have in order to be more successful. Of course, you can decide whether to buy more or less of each item depending on your budget.

Parts could often be found on bricklink.com and rebrickable.com

In the following course we would focus on the type of the recommended parts, share a list of them and publish tutorials on how these parts could be used to accomplish different missions. Our goal is to answer the questions "What could be done with LEGO?", "What parts are available 'out there'?

В много от занятията отборите работят върху един робот, като всеки отбор е отговорен за правилното реализиране на поетата от тях функционалност. Задълбочено се разглеждат задаването на входни стойности и използването на изходните стойности на всички блокове. Широко се използват променливи от трите основни типа: Integer, Boolean, Text. Роботите вече пазят богато вътрешно състояние, могат да броят, да изчисляват, да се обосновават логически, с помощта на което взимат много по-правилни решения. Въвежда се използването на паралелно изпълняващи се блокове.

To successfully advance at competitions we need to understand two concepts - how to reliably and consistently navigate the field and position the robot exactly where we need it to be on every run, and how to build attachments that would accomplish a mission model once we have reached it. This course is focused on the first part. The second part is the whole FLLCasts platform, but start at FIRST LEGO League with LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor. "Challenge" competition for 9-16 years old.

The goal of this course is to help you learn to program LEGO Robots using Scratch and make them behave consistently and reliably during competitions. As a language we use LEGO MINDSTORMS App Word Blocks which is based on Scratch. We look at a lot of concepts that could be used for FIRST LEGO League and World Robot Olympiad competitions - for example, how to follow a line fast, slow, in a smooth way, with 5 states. Also, how to align to lines, how to do double align, how to keep a straight line with a motion sensor.

Unfortunately, LEGO discontinued the robot series during the making of this course which is why it's kind of shortish. You could use the SPIKE Prime course for a more in-depth analysis.
