FLL 2023: Collect, Rotation work, Push, Lift - Kufar, an out of box robot accomplishing M12, M13, M15 Pro Preview

In this video tutorial, we are accomplishing three missions in a single run from the FIRST LEGO League MASTERPIECE season. We are using our new out-of-box LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot, called Kufar. Have you used such robots? No? Well, let's dive deeper in the construction of out-of-box robots and see how convenient and user-friendly they can be. Take one brick with a couple of sensors and let your imagination run wild as you create the most inventive attachments.

In this video tutorial, we are accomplishing missions from the FIRST LEGO League 2023 MASTERPIECE. We are accomplishing three missions in a single run. The goal of the missions is to collect this loop, to rotate - to do some rotation work with one of the attachments, and to also push and pull on a mission model. So, four things at the same time. These are four things that we should do with this robot, and it's a brand new robot. It's a brand new concept. It's something that we call out-of-box robot. I'll tell you more about them in the tutorial, but you can see how nice they are, and we'll discuss the principles of these robots. Let's now see a little bit more about the robots. The thing about the out-of-the-box robots is that we can take the electronics from one attachment and put the whole electronics in another attachment. This is what makes them really interesting - because we can do this. They are out-of-box. They're a concept that follows the box robot, but this time: out-of-box. The robot will start from base, and it will accomplish three missions but four different things. Now, let's talk a little bit about the out-of-box robot. We saw these principles in recent competitions where we have the electronics, the brick, the motors, the sensors, and we have this color sensor that detects the color of this yellow brick on the side. We also have a green brick on the other attachment. Based on where we put the box, we detect the attachment and we know which program to start, which is a very interesting way to know really fast which attachment is being used. You just remove the electronics, put them in another place, the robot sees the attachment, and it knows which program should be run. Pretty cool concept because you can have a lot of attachments. There is no limit on the amount of parts you can bring to the competition, only a limit on the amount of motors, sensors, and bricks. This is it. The name of the robot, it's an out-of-box robot. Let's see it working. The robot starts from base. It goes to the two mission models, grabs the loop, does the rotation work on the attachment to rotate part of the mission model, pushes and pulls at the same time. Let's see it from another angle. Moves, takes the loop, Then it rotates and you can see the small chicken right there. It pushes and it pulls four things at the same time. Four things. This is a really close-up view of the mission model along with how it works. We must do some rotation work. This is how we are supposed to do it, but we've figured out a different way. We just rotate this small gear wheel on the right. It's a little bit more difficult, but when we get to this gear wheel, we can rotate it. How do we do this? On the front of the robot, we have two, three gear wheels that are rotating, and as we move with the robot, they connect the black ones with the yellow one. They connect and we rotate. The robot starts from base, connects with the two mission models, and accomplishes both of them. In some of the next tutorials, we'll focus on the programming. In this tutorial, it was just the attachment, and it was perfect.
