How to align to a wall with Ultrasonic Sensors. Complete solution (part 5)
Arriving at a final solution. There is still room for improvement on using the Mindstorms Ultrasonic Sensor for aligning to walls, but we hope the whole five videos could give you a good idea of how to start with a problem and reach a solution.

How to calibrate the EV3 Gyro Sensor (software solution)
The EV3 Gyro sensor is quite powerful, but there are some little tricks when using it. In the previous episode we showed a hardware solution to the problem and now we are exploring how could the sensor be calibrated from the EV3-G software. Thanks to Sharon and Faye (full names omitted) for the request for this video.

Block for accurate turning on 90 degrees with the Gyro Sensor
This block accurately turns the robot to a specific angle. One of the most useful blocks that you could use during competitions. The block makes the robot turn and when the robot makes an error, the block will correct for this error.
Finally, you can be sure that the robot has turned to the specific angle that you want.
You have three inputs
- Turning angle - the angle that you would like the robot to turn.
- Power - the power that you would like the motors to have
- Correction power - the power during the correction phase.
VERY IMPORTANT: This is a block for EV3-G. You download and import this block from Project Settings->Blocks->Import. If you are using Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge and you click to download the file it will try to save it as "zip". DO NOT SAVE IT AS ZIP. Save it as "ev3s" or just PLEASE, STOP using Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge. This will dramatically improve your browsing experience.

EV3-G experiment plotting the Gyro Sensor and the Current Power
The experiment contains a plot of the Curren Power of Motors B and C and the values of the Gyro Sensor when the robot is moving with a power of 100%. What you could see is that it is not actually moving with a power of 100% because the current power is about 75-80%.

FLL 2018: Attachment To Accomplish The Into Orbit Space Walk Emergency (07) Robot Game Mission
This attachment accomplishes the Into Orbit Space Walk Emergency mission from the FIRST LEGO League Into Orbit 2017-2018 competitions. The base robot is the SUV Competition Box Robot from LEGO Mindstorms EV3.
The program for this attachment is at Programs/w415dz-fll-2018-attachment-to-accomplish-the-into-orbit-space-walk-emergency-07-robot-game-missions-program.
Soon we would publish and a video of how the attachment works.

FLL 2018: How to accomplish M14 (throw precisely) from FIRST LEGO League 2018 Into Orbit. Review
This video tutorial contains a detailed explanation on how we accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2018-2019 Into Orbit mission called M14. METEOROID DEFLECTION. The mission is a simple throw of a ball. But of course the ball should reach a specific mission model and arrive at a specific place. And that's always challenging.

LEGO Mindstorms EV3-G Program for the EV3 Sailboat robot Barco
This project is for Barco - LEGO Mindstorms EV3 sailboat robot. The project includes two programs.
The first program makes the robot go in a square shape, using the gyro sensor for better accuracy. The second program makes it go in a triangle, again, using the gyro sensor. These programs are a great way to learn how to use the gyro sensor.
