The most important contact between the robot and the FIRST LEGO League field mat are the tires and different tires behave differently. In order to build a winning robot you should choose your tires wisely. In this video tutorial we are conducting an experiment on how to choose the tires for your LEGO Mindstorms Competition Robot. m

Scenario

0. What is the best tires criteria - repeatability

1. Move from largers to smallest tyres and do the experiment with each pair of tyres. 

2. Demonstrate how to take samples - 3221211

3. Balance the robot because the tyres are with different radius.

4. Change tyres and repeate

5. How do we analyse the results

6. Our conclusion 

 - for turning with 1 it is best b43

 - for turning with 2 motors it is best d56w28

 - most probably the error of the tires with bigger diameter is due to lashback of the motors

Experiments - all the tires with 4-5 experiments and results

50cm - turn - 30cm forward

With one and two motors turn

 

 

Take this method of experiment and do the experiments for your robots. Create at least 30 samples for a specific robot and tires.
