One more example for an active attachment with a system of gear wheels. This time the system is constructed so that the attachment could lift heavy objects.
In this video tutorial the Chain Monster LEGO box robot uses a multi-purpose attachment to collect two elements from the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWERED field and these are the "water" units on the field. What's interesting is that the contain where the water units are stored could be closed and opened and this allows us to freely move while non of the water units are lost.
Without the use of any motor, you can still accomplish a number of missions using passive attachments. You can still pull/push on different levers using only a beam or two connected to the frame.
In this video tutorial we pull the Smart grid mission model from the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 competition. The goal is to lift the hand to connect with the hand on the other team field. We do this my pulling on the attachment and we reuse the same "hand" that we have for collecting.
In this video tutorial the Chain Monster box robot accomplishes a mission that requires two actions. We should lift up (lever) and push almost at the same time on the mission model for it to release the batteries. These mission model is from the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWERED competition.
This 10 out of 10 tutorial is a complete uncut recording and it shows how the Chain Monster box robot accomplishes 5 missions in a single run and it does this 10 out of 10 times. It is from the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 robotics competition.
In this episode, we introduce a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 version of competition robot construction. It is a modular construction, with medium motor for additional attachments and two light or colour sensors for orientating on the field.
In this video tutorial we accomplish 5 missions in a single run with the Chain Monster box robot. It accomplishes 5 missions from the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 robotics competition.
In this part 2 of the LEGO video tutorial we accomplish the pull part of the M03 Energy storage from FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWERED. Part 1 was about precise dropping, part 2 is about pulling as the model requires it
This is the first part of accomplishing M03 Energy Storage with the Kriket Box Robot. In this tutorial we show how to Drop the energy units in the storage. The second part will focus more on how do we pull the element from below the energy storage.
Continuing with the Proportional algorithm for following lines. Smooth and stable this is the first part of the PID.
In this video tutorial with LEGO SPIKE Prime we accomplish M02 Oil Platform from the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWERED robotics competition. We use the Kriket box robot and an attachment that allows us to lift. The actions of the mission is between Lift and Push, be because it is vertical.. we choose Lift. Checkout the full tutorial for all the 3 missions in a single run.
Rubber bands in the LEGO Mindstorms sets are very handy when it comes to collecting objects, especially loops. The mechanism most of the time could work like this - an axle is pushed, a rubber band is released and a lever collects the loop.
This video tutorials shows how we accomplish a specific mission model from FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWERED robotics competition. The mission is called - M11 Hydroelectic Dam and in the tutorial we accomplish part of it. In other tutorials when we get back with the SPIKE Kriket box robot we have more time to accomplish the rest of the missions.
This is a programming video tutorials. It uses LEGO Education Word Blocks which is the scratch version. We enter into details of how to accomplish missions in a tight spot, how to align the robot and how to make it repeatable.
Sometimes robot builders are so overwhelmed with the process of constructing a robot that they forget two very important parts. The brick should be accessible and the cables should not get in the way. These are referred by us as Brick Accessibility and Cable Management.
In this LEGO video tutorial we accomplish 3 missions with the Kriket box robot. A number of actions are performed like Lever, Lift, Drop, Pull, Align. This tutorials shows how to accomplish missions models that are closely positioned next to each other.
Last part of the series. The final touch of the program makes sure that it works and is following the line with the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Color Sensor in a smooth and fast way.
In this video tutorial we look at programming the Kriket box robot to accomplish 5 missions. It is a long program for a long run that's why we are dedicating a separate tutorial. We are using LEGO Education SPIKE Prime Word Blocks app.
This 10 out of 10 tutorials is about consistency and reliability of the robot when accomplishing 5 missions in a row. We explore how we move between mission models. The programming is in the previous tutorial, here we look and discuss the behaviour of the robot
Pinless attachments are smart and quick and could make a big differences between two robot constructions. In this video we are sharing a nice idea for a pinless attachment placed below the robot.
In this video tutorial, we accomplish 3 missions from FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWERED competition and we do it 10 out of 10 times. We successfully deliver the three objects to 2 different places on the mat. It is interesting that we have to carry the dinosaur toy from one side of the field to the other.
This tutorial demonstrates how we accomplish 5 missions in a row with a single robot and three attachments. This is a true multiple missions run for the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWERED. We Drop parts, we pull from the Smart grid, we push a lever, we collect a few energy units and we deliver the dinosaur toy.
This video discusses the fact the robot requires a few more parts that are available in the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robotics sets. We have a number of other constructions that require less parts, but for this particular robot construction we have decided to go beyond the standard sets, cheaply buy a few more parts and build a whole box robot with them.
This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial for a 3 missions run. The robot goes out of base and accomplishes 3 missions in a single run. It demonstrates the consistency and reliability of the robot and its program that uses sensors.
In this video tutorial we accomplish 3 missions from the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWER robotics competition. The three missions are wind turbine, television, rechargeable battery. The robot uses a program with sensor compared to the previous way we've accomplished the missions with the same robot.
In this episode we look at the way this robot is balanced. A well-balanced robot could handle heavier attachments without losing track of its position on the robotics competition field.
