In this video tutorial, the MiniBox robot accomplishes M08 and M09 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge robotics competition.
The MiniBox, a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot, uses a detachable attachment to release the camera down the track for M08 Rolling Camera. Then, with a slight turn, it pulls the M09 Movie Set boat model and positions it in its designated spot. Let's take a look!
DIfferent wheels and tires will result in different behaviour of the robot. That is actually pretty common sense. The real question is what is the influence. Would the robot make smaller deviations if it has smaller wheels or it will make larger deviations? The tires could also be quite dirty or brand new. Or the wheels could be attached in different ways.
This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial, in which the MiniBox robot accomplishes M01 3D Cinema of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge competition.
The MiniBox is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot and uses a detachable attachment to trigger the 2D cinema screen to become a 3D experience. Let's see how consistent and reliable the robot is - 10 out of 10 times!
Should the robot be with a Front Wheel Drive or a Rear Wheel Drive to make it more precise? The answer is - front wheel will probably give you better results, but the wheel drive is not the most important thing. In this video tutorial on the LEGO Mindstorms Robots, we will do a few experiments to discuss the influence of the wheel drive on the precision of the movement.
In this video tutorial, the MiniBox robot accomplishes M01 3D Cinema of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge robotics competition. The mission model is located close to the base, and the robot uses a detachable attachment to push and activate it.
The MiniBox is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot, designed to use detachable attachments, which helps make the runs faster. Let’s take a look!
The LEGO Mindstorms EV3 set comes with two LARGE motors. But even though these motors look almost the same they are not quite the same. There are always some differences in their behaviour. If you have more than two motors, because you bought them or you won them somewhere at a competition, it is worth doing an experiment to find which pair of motors works best.
This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial in which the MiniBox robot accomplishes M10 and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge. One run takes less than 5 seconds as the mission model is very close to the base, which is why the video is not that long.
The MiniBox is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot that uses a detachable attachment to adjust the sound levels in M10 Sound Mixer and an active attachment to collect the M15 minifigure. Let's see the consistency of this robot!
You could use the LEGO Steel Balls as a third wheel on the robot. It is a caster wheel. But this is steel and as we know from basic existence on this planet, where there is steel there is also rust. The steel ball could get quite rusty and this could have an influence on the behaviour of the robot
This video tutorial shows how the MiniBox robot accomplishes M10 and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge robotics competition. The MiniBox is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot that uses a detachable attachment to adjust the sound levels in M10 Sound Mixer and an active attachment to collect the M15 minifigure. The run takes less than 5 seconds, so let's dive in!
The balance of the construction of the robot has a great influence on how it will move. This is especially true if you would like to move in a straight line. If the robot is slightly heavier on the right it will move to the right. Here we have two robots - a Five Minute robot and a Box Robot and we will discuss the differences in the constructions and why the box robot is much better than the Five Minute even though it is using the same parts.
This is a 10 out of 10 video tutorial demonstrating how the MiniBox robot completes M11 and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge competition. We use a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot equipped with a lever to collect the M15 minifigure and a mechanism to rotate the M11 Light Show tower. We've taken a slightly unexpected approach to M11, so be sure to check out the detachable attachment!
The robot can move with different speed by applying different power to the motors. It will most of the time make smaller deviations when it moves slower. But you can't just move with a power of 10 all the time. This is a way too slow especially for competitions like FIRST LEGO League or World Robot Olympiad. In this video tutorial I would like to discuss the balance between motor power and robot movement error, how does the battery influence the power of the robot and to conduct an EV3-G experiment that will record the values of the Gyro Sensor along with the current power.
This video tutorial demonstrates how the MiniBox robot completes M11 and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge season. The robot is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot, equipped with a mechanism to rotate the M11 Light Show tower. However, we've opted for a more interesting approach. Let's check it out in the video!
This video tutorial contains a detailed description on how we accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2018-2019 Into Orbit mission called Emergency Walk, which I think is one of the most interesting missions ever in FIRST LEGO League competitions. Join me in for a short explanation.
In this video tutorial, the MiniBox box robot is accomplishing M02 and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge robotics competition. This robot is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot that uses a detachable attachment and rubber band mechanism to achieve its goals.
When the robot presses down the mission model, it activates the detachable attachment which disconnects from the robot and triggers the rubber band mechanism, allowing it to collect the minifigure.
We know this attachment may seem a bit complex, but after a few tries, you'll definitely enjoy working with it!
In the third run Nightbeast team solves Mission 04 - Crater Crossing and partly Mission 03 - 3D printing and Mission 014 Meteoroid Deflection:
This is a 10 out of 10 video tutorial, in which we demonstrate how Kufar, a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime out-of-box robot, accomplishes M03, M15, M11, and M04 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge season ten times in a row!
As we said in the previous tutorial, Kufar executes several complex moves while navigating the mat. At the front, the robot features a scissor-like attachment triggered by rubber bands. At the back, there is a mechanism that carries a couple of mini-figures and the M04 art piece. Enjoy!
This is the first run of Team "Nightbeast", with which they solve M01 and M02 from FIRST LEGO League 2019 Into Orbit:
In this video tutorial, we demonstrate how Kufar accomplishes M03, M15, M11, and M04 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge season. Kufar is our LEGO Education SPIKE Prime out-of-box robot that uses a color sensor to detect the attachment frame and the respective program.
In this run, Kufar executes several complex moves while navigating the mat. At the front, the robot features a scissor-like attachment triggered by rubber bands. At the back, there is a mechanism that carries a couple of mini-figures and the M04 art piece. Carefully study the attachment, and don't hesitate to upgrade it if you like!
This is the fifth and the last run of the Nightbeast team. Robot goes out of the base, do missions:
and stays on the field. It's a common practice for the competitors to left the robot on the field after the last run. This allows them to do some important points at the end of the match.
This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial in which the MiniBox robot accomplishes the M12, M13, and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge competition. The MiniBox is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot that uses detachable attachments.
In this run, the robot performs five actions: it collects the M15 minifigure and throws it backward, rotates the chicken for M12, and then pushes and pulls the M13 Craft Creator mission model. All of these actions are completed in under 15 seconds!
In the second run Nightbeast team solves different tasks from two missions - M05 Extraction and M06 Space Station Modules:
In this video tutorial, we demonstrate how to complete M12, M13, and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge. We use the MiniBox, a robot built from LEGO Education SPIKE Prime.
To complete the missions, the robot rotates the chicken to trigger the M12 Virtual Reality Artist, pushes the M13 Craft Creator to release the creation, and collects the M15 LEGO minifigure. After completing all tasks, the robot detaches its attachment and leaves it on the field for a faster change at the base. Let's take a look!
There are a few main challenges with box robots and in the following tutorial we would like to resolve them. Read on and let's see how we could do this.
This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial demonstrating the consistency with which the Kufar robot accomplishes M12, M13, and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge season. Kufar is an out-of-the-box LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot, meaning you don’t need to connect attachments—just slide the brick into the attachment frames.
In this run, the robot collects the mini-figures using a rubber band mechanism, rotates the chicken with a gear mechanism, and pushes and pulls the M13 Craft Creator mission model.
It's a box! It's a robot! It's a box robot. Box robots are very popular on different robotics competitions involving LEGO Mindstorms like the FIRST LEGO League or World Robotics Olympiad. Let's start with a brief introduction and continue in the next videos with explanation on the features of the robot and why such robots are frequently used.
This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial on accomplishing M04, M05, M14, and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge competition. The robot needs to accurately drop the mini-figures and the Masterpiece mission model, then rotate the Augmented Reality Statue to reveal its experience—efficiently and predictably, 10 times in a row. The robot is the MiniBox, a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot with several attachments.
