In this tutorial, we would build a simple program for controlling the Tetrix robot motors with the GamePads. We use the stick and when the stick is pushed forward the motors move forward. When it is pushed backwards the robot moves backwards.
Following the principles from the previous video, try to make the attachment that you've built, more stable and durable.
How to help students implement long programs.
In the current course we would use a number of languages. Generally we would program the robots in EV3-G, but we would also program them in JavaScript to make the parallel with the JavaScript. The programming would include arrays, switches and loops.
This is a recording of a completely perfect, 10 out of 10 accomplishment of a two-part mission - Train tracks, from the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Cargo Connect competition. Due to the proper use of motion and color/light sensors, the robot is 100% consistent and reliable for a non-trivial mission. Even when the robot makes a mistake, it auto-corrects and compensates for this mistake.
In this video tutorial we continue the exploration of pinless attachments and how to add them and remove them in a quick fashion. We've done this for SPIKE Prime and for EV3 and we will provide some other references in the lesson in the course. The idea of an attachment below the robot is that sometime, during FIRST LEGO League competitions we have to bring a mission model from one place of the field to other. Basically push it.
Give it a name and you will have power over it. I learned this from an MIT professor. So let's give the part of the car names. Then we could refer to them. Talk to them. Change them. Do all kinds of things with them. Give it a name and you will have power over it.
In the previous video, we found the correct answer for our task and it is 18.75, or is it?
In this video tutorial, we focus on M10 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge competition. We use the Chain Monster, a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot, equipped with a three-axle attachment. The mission's objective is to lift the sound mixer sliders and position them precisely to score the maximum points. While the mission may seem challenging at first, once you understand how the attachment works and how to properly connect it to the robot, it becomes a breeze. Let’s give it a try!
This M12 Water reservoir from FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 is accomplish in two part with the Chain Monster box robot. The first part is in a previous tutorial. This is the second part where we collect the third water unit. We use a passive attachment to collect this unit.
10 out of 10 is our favorite series of video tutorials and in this one we are looking at the FIRST LEGO League 2021 RePlay competition and the tire flip mission. The goal of the mission is to flip a tire. Two tire. Perfect. We manage to do it each and every try
In this video tutorial we accomplish the Innovation project mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay competition. The goal of the mission is to build a new construction on the day of the competition and to complete a mission with this new construction. There are a couple of spare parts in the FLL set and building the construction for the innovation project was quite fun.
Try to solve the challenge of this module and observe the cup.
There are a number of tools available online to help you play the game. You just seed the initial conditions and leave the game. Let's look at some of the sites.
It all started with the famous 2017 mission for flipping a manhole and it was one of our favorite missions ever. Here in this tutorial we demonstrate the same principle of flipping a part from one side to the other. Sounds interesting, yes it is, yes it is.
We will explain inertia non-scientifically so that we make it easy to understand concept.
There are number of settings in a Move block and now we will focus on the rotations setting
In this video tutorial, we focus on accomplishing M04, M14, and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge competition. We use the MiniBox, a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot equipped with several attachments. The goal of the robot is to deliver the LEGO mini figures to their designated place and then press down the M03 platform to trigger the immersive experience for the viewer in the mission model.
Display a matrix with "life" and "dead" cells on the EV3 LEGO Mindstorms brick screen. The program is available. You can see it, change it, modify it and learn from it.
In this lesson we build a simple LEGO Mindstorms NXT calculator program that sums, multiplies, subsctracts or divides two numbers between 1 and 50.
In this video I am building the five minute robot from LEGO Mindstorms and I am doing a short introduction on how to make the robot move forward and turn around. Throught this series I will be using mostly NXT-G as a programming environment.
This video tutorial demonstrates the consistency and reliability of the active attachment that pushes the two mission models. The goal is to use both the attachment and the robot to push the mission model and move the truck and the plane after the blue lines.
This video tutorial shows how the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Shotgun Motorcycle robot works. The robot is a sligh modification of the Ninja motorcycle because it has assiting wheels
Continuing from the last tutorial, we demonstrate the consistency and reliability of the robot when we don't user sensors. The result is pretty obvious - the robot is NOT consistent and reliable. It just makes a lot of mistakes
In this video tutorial we accomplish the Basketball mission 10 out of 10 times. We use one of the more complex attachments for the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay competition. You will see an learn how to successfully and consistently complete a mission that requires the robot to put a ball into a basket and lift the basket, or lift the basket and put the ball into it.
