Overview of what is going to happen in module 3
We will share the idea behind that challenge and how to conduct the challenge in a classroom.
Using Display, Sound, Wait and Move blocks together.
What a teacher must look out for, while students are building a robot from instructions.
Now we have to program the robot. The steps that we will cover are starting the software, writing a program and downloading it to the robot.
Specific challenge on programming the robot to move as a Yo-Yo
How far will the robot move for one second?
The things that you will be able to do with your EV3 robot by the end of this course are:
Freely move your robot towards desired target;
Avoid obstacles on the path of your robot using sensors;
Follow lines of any shape;
Detecting and picking up objects of any kind;
The next step of lifting a robot to a mission model is to try to use a rack.
How should an instructor use this course when working with students and a group of students in school
What should you do as a teacher when the students are calculating the gear ratios and number of needed rotations?
In this tutorial, we add another mission to our current program. This mission is - hanging the Gecko from the FIRST LEGO League Animal Allies.
This is the second version of the EV3 Easy Bot. The robot is used in classes with students as one of the first robots to be built. Easy to follow and to arrive at a construction even for first-time students.
Building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms Robot that cleans the landing site when landing on a different planet. Built from an EV3 set it is a perfect simple tank robot with continuous tracks for lifting and moving things. Basically cleaning.
The third version of the EV3 Easy Bot. This is a simple and easy to follow robot, that aims at showing the use of tyres on robots. The robot has a gear up ratio and no tyres, so it is quite fast and entertaining.
Every electronics tutorial, book or course about Raspberry Pi or Arduino will use a motor driver. Very few of the courses will actually explain why do you need a Motor Driver, what is it for?
The power in the car comes from the batteries. The batteries are in a batteries holder. About 5 of them. Two cables are connected to the batteries holder. It is very important to identify which of those cables is the plus and which is the minus.
We love tanks. You love tanks. Everybody loves tanks. Well, not exactly - more like everybody loves machines with chain treads because they are interesting, not that common, very easy to build and could tackle a lot of obstacles.
Mintonet (engl. Mintonette) comes from the name of the first iteration of volleyball.
The robot can move only forward and backward, without turning, with the help of a large EV3 motor. Another large motor is used to shoot. The robot uses an EV3 ultrasonic sensor to detect its partner and throw a ball at it.
This program is a final version of the game played with EV3 Kinesthetic and Memory Game. In this game you are given a sequence of hints which you are expected to remember and to perform the right actions in the given order.
This program is for Susan and Mark - a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 T-Rex chasing a car. The program makes the T-Rex wait for the car to reach a certain speed, and then attack it. This is made to resemble the T-Rex's said inability to see slow moving things. The goal of the program is to get the car's cable to stretch, while moving it by hand, when its wheels are turning and without the T-Rex noticing. The detection is made using the current power option on the motor rotation sensor.
