Connect the attachment to the box robot and find the correct number of rotations of the middle motor that would bring the robot up and forward and would attach it to the mission model.
We will cover three ways to transfer your program from the computer to the robot.
When organizing this course, the behavior expectations should be set at the very beginning of the course.
Remember the passive/active attachment separation that we are making at FLLCasts.com. This applies for all the attachments and in this Episode, we are looking at how to use a passive attachment.
The challenge is to make the robot move back and forth with ever decreasing distance.
In this video we are solving part of the FIRST LEGO League Senior Solutions challange missions (FLL 2012) using LEGO Mindstorms NXT robots. I make a step by step explanation of each move I make. The goal of this video is to help you with ideas and suggestions on how one should look at the missions.
One of the students' favorite LEGO Mindstorms robots. Have fun with Iqazator, moving over all kinds of obstacles as a real millitary tank machine.
In this video tutorial we would look at the mission run for M06. SPACE STATION MODULES. The missions is to precisely push a mission model into an opening. In almost any FIRST LEGO League competition there are such missions. The tutorial contains only the mission run on the field. We accomplish a single mission.
Vision is still one of the very few fields where a human being could outsmart a computer. Still. Colour/Light sensors are the cornerstones of implementing a smart LEGO Mindstorms robot that could at least partially do "vision". In this video tutorial, we are using the robotics sensor to detect loading and unloading of the catapult.
What a teacher must look out for, while students are building a robot from instructions.
The robot works on the field and decodes the different colours that represent the rows and the columns.
Now we will create the first program in this course and we will make the robot move forward.
Introducing three main concepts - Energy, Inertia Moment and Angular Velocity. We describe what is the moment of Inertia, how do we calculate it and how do we measure it?
We start with FIRST Technical Challenge and how you develop programs with the GamePads. It is up to you to decide how sticks, buttons and triggers from the GamePad will control the different motors of the robot and there are different decisions that you should make.
In the first module of the perfect STEM Course we will move fast, but not deep. We would explore a number of different areas of technical science like electronics, Linux, programming, mobile technologies, AI without getting into too many details. The goal is for us to arrive at a working Remote Control car controlled from the phone and to learn basic concepts on which we could extend.
In this tutorial we will build our first 3D LEGO model using LDraw. I will build it using two different programs based on the LDraw library - MLCAD and LeoCAD.
After we have introduced a menu in the previous video, this video focuses on storing the values in an array. It presents a basic use of arrays.
In this episode we are showing the great similiarity between the sensors in NXT Mindstorms. We are solving a common problem - How to make a robot that do not fall from the table. We are using the Ultrasonic sensor, Light Sensor and Touch Sensor to solve the same problem, but with three different sensors.
We will demonstrate how to connect the brick and the motors by using cables correctly and reliably.
If you get to a solution that is too complex you should always try to improve it. This is what we are doing here. Arriving at a solution for aligning to the wall that has become too complex.
Let's review the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Intelligent Brick
The EV3 brick is the main computer of your LEGO robot and it has a display, a few buttons and various ports.
When we, the teachers, make programs and projects, we give them descriptive names. Let's show you a way to put cool names on your programs.
Using the rack depends on the experience of the team. Based on this a different number of gear wheels and racks would be used.
We explore some common mistakes when a program is developed and becomes complex. We then try to remove part of this complexity.
