This video tutorial contains the final 2 programs for moving straight with a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot. The first program is for proportional compensation that just keeps the robot orientation straight, while the second program is for Integral compensation that returns the robot to the straight line when the robot makes a mistake.
In this video tutorial, we demonstrate how the Chain Monster box robot delivers minifigures for M14 and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge robotics competition. The robot is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime model, equipped with a special attachment for precise delivery.
M14 and M15 are part of larger runs, but in this video, we focus exclusively on these two missions. Let's dive in!
We extract the Proportional Line Following algorithm into a new block with parameters. This allows us to experiment with the Threshold, Constant Speed and Relaxation Coefficient. You can now easily use the block in you other programs without having to implement it.
This video tutorial is a 10 out of 10, demonstrating how the MiniBox accomplishes four missions - M06, M07, M14, and M15 - of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge.
Yes, the attachment is complex, and there are quite a few actions, but this LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot handles them brilliantly! Let's take a look!
In this lesson I would like to show you how to build a LEGO Mindstorms competition robot and tell you how we have designed the construction used in the videos so far. Surely it isn’t perfect, but it is a good start.
This video tutorial demonstrates how the MiniBox accomplishes four missions - M06, M07, M14, and M15 - of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge robotics competition.
It may seem challenging to achieve all of this in a single run, but with careful planning and solid programming, success is within reach! The robot is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot, equipped with rubber bands and various mechanisms. Since this is our final run, we can leave the robot on the mat, saving some time. Let's dive in!
This video tutorial showcases how the MiniBox accomplishes five missions - M02, M03, M04, M05, M14, and M15 - of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge competition.
It’s a rather complex run, as the robot uses multiple attachments and performs several actions. The MiniBox, a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot, is designed to leave its attachments on the mat after completing each mission. Take a close look at the attachments and study the program thoroughly before launching the robot!
This video is about a lever that should be pushed and this lever is connected to an axle. This means the lever should rotate. It is a common mission on robotics competitions like FIRST LEGO League/World Robotics Olympiad. The inspiration for this mission is the FLL 2012 Senior Solutions Oven mission. The tutorial uses Luly, a small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions as a robot base.
This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial, in which the MiniBox robot accomplishes M08 and M09 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge competition.
The MiniBox is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot that uses a detachable attachment to release the camera down the track for M08 Rolling Camera. Then, it slightly turns to pull the M09 Movie Set boat model and position it in its designated area. Let's see how consistent and reliable the robot is!
How do you lift heavy objects with an attachment? In this episode we show a simple, interesting, but yet not very popular way to lift something heavy with and LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot and without gears and motors as attachment. As a specific example we are using the Strength Exercise mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2012 competition.
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!
In a competition environment like the FIRST LEGO League (FLL) or World Robotics Olympiad (WRO) the color sensor is more than useful. It makes positioning on the field quite easy and precise.
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!
Looking at the field we must first think of a strategy of solving this line following problem. There are rules that the robot must follow and these rules should be programmed in the robot.
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 robot uses one middle motor. This middle motor with the use of a few gear systems controls for different axsels. We have attached wheels on this axles so it is very easy to extend the robot construction for additional LEGO Mindstorms active attachments
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!
Positioning your MINDSTORM robot precisely on the FIRST LEGO League competition field is one of the first things you should learn while preparing. In this video tutorial, we will show three different attachments you could use when aligning to the walls of the competition table. We will show other ways and attachments in some of the next videos.
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!
This tutorial demonstrates how a robot moves forward in a straight line with the use of the LEGO Education SPIKE Prime Motion sensor. While the robot is moving we push on the robot at the back, simulating that "something has happened" and the robot then again returns back to the moving straight. To download the program check out the courses in which the tutorial is used.
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!
Recap on the attachments, their purpose and how you should use them.
The robot attachment build in this tutorial gives an idea on how to release a rubber band at a specific moment using a motor. It's a simple, but yet powerful technique on using rubber bands.
In this video we discuss part of the pinless attachments build by the ELM team. Without pinless attachment it is nearly impossible to achieve a good score at the FIRST LEGO League competition.
In this episode we continue from Episode 55 and we improve the durability and stability of the attachment for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot. Many times attachments are not very stable which results in gaps between parts. The goal of the video is to give basic construction ideas.
In this video we are showing how to use two light sensors to do basic aligning on a black line. This is always needed at the competitions. We also show an example for following a line with two sensors.
This is where the confusion really comes. We are keeping the robot orientation straight while the robot moves, but at the end the, robot is not at the fiinal location that we would like it to be. The robot is still about 2-3 centimeters away after moving for about a meter.
