Arnold - a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Dump Truck

Building instructions for an EV3 LEGO Mindstorms Dump Truck. The back of the truck can be tilted through controlling the medium EV3 motor so that the load can be dumped at a desired location. Also, the robot has a color sensor to determine the type of load it is carrying.

Courses and lessons with this Material

This Material is used in the following courses and lessons

Level C2. "Cooperation". Robotics with LEGO

The sixth level of the Robotics with LEGO curriculum for students in third or fourth grade.

For the first time two different robots are required to solve a challenge. Students learn how to cooperate and find a common approach to the challenges and how to distribute their roles. Various robots are built, even a crane that loads a truck. Students use two sensors at the same time so that they find their target and find out whether their partner-robot is ready with their part of the challenge.

Lesson 2 - Dumptruck

Introduction

Today we will continue our work with heavy equipment used in the mining industry. We will transport various minerals and we will program the robot to recognize the load it carries and deliver it to the right dump point. What mineral stones do you know?

Lesson 3 - Shipyard

LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Crane robot is used to lift, move and load cargo on a cargo truck. There is a mechanism for grabbing a cargo load (eg a blue ball). Crone is also a tower crane and there are balancing wheels on the opposite site of the grabbing mechanism. It was an ultrasonic sensor.

FLLCasts 5 day summer camp

FLLCasts 5 day summer camp is designed to engage students in STEM in a fun and entertaining way. The theme of the course is cooperation. Students will not only be introduced to the great world of robotics, while having a lot of fun, but they also have to work with other teams. This will be beneficial for their soft skills. During the 5 lessons students will build 5 different robots. From playing volleyball with robots, through playing the telephone game till launching paper planes!

Note that the course is still under development.

Shipyard

This is the first lesson in which you will have to work with another pair of students. In each team of students one of the pairs will have to build the crane and the other one – the dump truck. The aim is to cooperate and the crane to load mineral resources in the dump truck which will have to transport them to the respective point.

Your first task will be to choose another pair of students you will work with.
