This is a ping-ball containing attachment for a World Robotics Olympiad. The attachment is building with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 parts. It is tiltel so that it is easier for the balls to fall off at certain points, which was part of the missions at the 2015 cmpetition.
In this third video we show some of the tricks in building this Multi-axles mechanism. Things you could learn from an use in your next constructions.
A note why we give the challenge at the start of the lesson.
Again a LEGO animal. This time it looks like an ant. It's interesting that this robot has no wheels and moves in a way very different from the rest of the "wheel robots".
There is much to be learned about mechanics from the way animals move. Ants are a good example. In the real world, an ant could carry a load of 20x its mass. It would be interesting to see how much load could this robot carry? Try it.
Today students will have to reuse the programs they create. Thus, make sure your students solve the individual challenges in separate programs so that they have the solutions in store.
In this lesson, we are going to use pre-made MyBlocks. Do you know how to find them?
The display block allows us to display information such as pictures, figures, and text. You can find the display block in the green palette:
These are instructions on how to build the:
