How LEGO robots turn
The robot is equipped with two motors, one for each side. As a result, whenever the robot turns, it always follows an arc path. The size and radius of this arc can vary depending on the turn.

SkiD00, the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Snowmobile robot
An awesome ski-jet robot, steering with a medium motor and powered by a single large motor. It also has a pair of inclined treads, making it especially well-suited for the harsh winter terrain.
*There is a mistake in this robot you will have to find. How would you make it work?

Security Plate, a pressure plate detecting the weight changes with light sensor built with LEGO Mindstorms EV3
A phone holder that rings an alarm when the phone is picked up. It is a plate, lying on a rubber wheel, that changes its height, based on the weight of the object placed on top. The color sensor detects these changes and rings the alarm. With some fine tuning, this robot can even act as a weighing machine.

Collecting humans. Moving modules. WRO 2014 Elementary. Part 2. Humans
Collect the humans and clear them from the rocket launching region. This is rather straightforward as a task, but it requires a little bit of thinking if you want to do it without manipulators.

FLL 2017: Attachment To Accomplish The Hydrodynamics Flow (02), Pump Addition (03), Rain (04) And Filter (05) Robot Game Missions
Probably the largest multi-purpose FLL attachment at FLLCasts. These attached is doing a number of missions at once. 4 of them. You attach it to the robot and start the program. The robot moves and accomplishes a number of missions using only this attachment. At it also has a lot of parts. It is quite large and you can not build it from a single set. But that's ok because you are preparing for a competition, right?

Handlebar - Chopper Motorcycle built with LEGO Mindstorms EV3
Take a motorcycle and start removing parts. You get a chopper. Like this one. It is built with LEGO Mindstorms EV3. It has one large and one medium motor. It could kind of turn, but moving forward with it is very funny. There is a "more sports like version" available at Ninja - Sports Motorcycle built with LEGO Mindstorms EV3
Currently, the motorcycle has no sensors. It's more of an exercise in construction, but if you attach sensors and think of a way to attach them send us a picture.
Join the course A robot a "day" keeps the questions awake where we will further discuss the motorcycles, how to build them and what tasks to accomplish with them.

Data logging the time between taking samples of the EV3 Gyro sensor
After we take each sample, we perform calculations and these calculations could take different time. It is important to know how much time does it take to perform the calculations. In this video tutorial, we would data log the time and plot the data.

Hardcode read of calibrated value for Light/Color LEGO Mindstorms sensors
Following the Advance Sensor Calibration course section, we found the min and max values detected by each sensor. Now it is time for the real deal of the calibration. Detect the current value from the sensor and find what is the percentage of this value for the range between min and max.

Building an example program using calibrated value for Light/Color EV3 Sensor
Many times we just upload blocks and leave it up to you to use it. In this tutorial, I would like to show you how to use the implemented blocks. How to import them into the EV3-G software. How to see them in the palette. How to drag and drop them to build a working program.

Catapult built from LEGO Mindstorms EV3/NXT (Part 2 - Base)
In this second video lesson on catapults we improve the stability of the base of the robot. An important feature of the new base is that it is not bending. Use the same principle in all of your constructions to achieve better, stronger robots.
