In this video tutorial, we accomplish a FIRST LEGO League mission called The Bridge. We demonstrate how to use a really simple active attachment where the goal of the mission is to push down both parts of the bridge. We do not enter into the programming and we leave it up to you as an exercise.
In this short animation we demonstrate how the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor Distance sensors could be attached to the robot and then use to stop at distance from a wall. This wall could be the border of the field or another mission model. We need an attachment, we need a sensor and we need the robot. In the live video in the lesson we enter into more details and explanations of how the sensor is used. Programs for the distance sensor are provided in the lesson and in the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor Programming course we enter into more details about how to program the distance sensor
In this robotics tutorial, we present a solution to extending a VEX IQ attachment to handle two hex balls at a time
Attach an axle to the front of the robot. Find a similar one, or modify the FTC Tetrix robot to accommodate the new axle.
The more advanced task is to more in a polygon. This would require calculating the degree of each of the turns and RobotC is a language in which you could implement this math calculation very easily.
In this video tutorial we accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2022 missions called Wind Turbine, Television and Rechargeable Battery. We demonstrate how 3 missions could be accomplished in the single run and in the same time with a single attachment.
This is a precise drop tutorial where we demonstrate how to accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Load Cargo mission that requires us to precisely drop a cargo into the drain. It is not an easy task, but it has a trick. A trick that allows us to 'shake' the cargo a little bit. The attachment is also auto-correcting to improve consistency. Use this principle whenever you need to drop things.
This is the first, but not the last video tutorial of the course where we reach a specific mission model in a consistent way. We use the Motion sensor and only some basic principles like turning to an angle. If we use the principles in this tutorial and then build an attachment for the mission model we will have a pretty consistent way of accomplishing the FIRST LEGO League mission
With this animation we demonstrate an example for a quick pinless attachment that could be used to collect loops. Loops is one of the most common missions at FIRST LEGO League competitions. We use the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor set to build the attachment, the mission model and the robot. They are all from the same attachment. In the live video in the same lesson we enter into more details about the attachment and we describe its idea
10 out of 10 video tutorial for Rowing Machine mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2021 RePlay robotics competition. In the tutorial you will see how to accomplish the mission almost every time. This is a mission that requires a lot of precision so naturally it is difficult to accomplish it every time, but with the right attachment for the LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot it is achievable
This video tutorial is about how to accomplish the Rowing Machine mission in the FIRST LEGO League 2021 RePlay robotics competition. The Rowing machine mission model consists of a wheel that should be pushed or pulled and will lift two other wheels, just like a real Rowing Machine. What you will get from this tutorial is an example of how to build a robot that is very precise. The attachment is simple, but the programming is more difficult. You must first align to a line, and then to a wall and then make a precise turn with the robot to accomplish the mission with our attachment.
In this episode I would like to show you how to enable the communication between the computer and the NXT brick, through the USB and using the leJOS project. Starting leJOS on Windows is pretty easy. But starting the samples and achieving the communication is the actual problem.
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!
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.
This is a 10 out of 10 video tutorial that is different from the rest. We demonstrate how difficult it is to accomplish a mission and we use an attachment that is working 5 out of 10 times. Our goal with the video is to give everybody the understanding that taking your time to accomplish a mission is the right thing. Most of the 10 out of 10 tutorials at FLLCasts contain solutions and approaches that are working in a repeatable fashion. Not this one. See how difficult it is to accomplish a mission and that we also make mistakes.
In this FIRST LEGO League video tutorial we accomplish the Step Counter mission from the FLL 2020 RePlay mission. The mission model is quite interesting as it can not be pushed fast and it can not be pushed slowly, because it will jam. The robot must push it with the right speed and this proves to be difficult.
Step Counter mission model is one of the more interesting mission models at the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay competition. There is a locking mechanism that does not allow us to just push on the mission model to accomplish it, you must push it really slow and to do this 10 out of 10 times it is challenging.
Present the details
The field in the game of life could be finite or infinite. It is interesting to see and learn how an infinite field behaves and works.
In this video tutorial, the MiniBox box robot accomplishes M08, M14, and M15 of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge robotics competition. The robot is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime box robot. In this run, the robot delivers the LEGO minifigure to its designated place and then pushes the M08 camera down the track to shoot the movie scene.
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.
In this video tutorial, we are accomplishing three missions in a single run from the FIRST LEGO League MASTERPIECE season. We are using our new out-of-box LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot, called Kufar. Have you used such robots? No? Well, let's dive deeper in the construction of out-of-box robots and see how convenient and user-friendly they can be. Take one brick with a couple of sensors and let your imagination run wild as you create the most inventive attachments.
10 out of 10 tutorials for the Slide mission was a challenge. There were a lot of glitches with different attachments that we built. At the end we have an attachment that is able to reliably pull the mini figures up, then forward,then down which.
The power in the car comes from the batteries. The batteries are in a batteries holder. About 5 of them. Two cables are connected to the batteries holder. It is very important to identify which of those cables is the plus and which is the minus.
Take the hacksaw, the drill and let's cut the pipe.
