Video tutorials

In this video tutorial, we push two of the mission models with a pinless active attachment with gears. The goal is to push the mission models after the blue lines. This attachment is interesting as it demonstrates a non-straightforward idea of how we can push the mission models. We explain the Scratch program and how we use the motion sensors - you will learn how to turn to a specific angle by using the motion sensor.

This is a 10 out of 10 video tutorial that demonstrates the consistency and reliability of the robot that accomplishes the Unlock Cargo Plane mission. The attachment is an active attachment with gear wheels. It has a single lever constructed from 2 beans and we use this attachment to push on the mission model.

In this video tutorial, we demonstrate how to release the cargo of a mission model. This mission model is an Airplane. We have to push a lever down to release it. We use an active attachment with a gear wheel.

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

This is the first video tutorial from our course on LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor programming. In this tutorial we will start with how do we move without sensors. We will demonstrate a simple program. Our hope with this tutorial is that you will see why moving without sensors is a bad approach.

This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial that demonstrates the consistency and reliability of the robot to complete the Unused capacity mission. In this mission, we do not need any guidance to push the model as it is near the west side where it should arrive.

In this video tutorial we accomplish the Unused Capacity mission by pushing the mission model outside of the field in the area where we are allowed to touch the robot. We deliver the mission model to the side of the field. Before delivering, we must of course reach it and that's not always easy.

This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial demonstrating the consistency and reliability of a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot when the robot delivers a mission model to a specific position on the field.

In this video tutorial we deliver the Innovation project model from base to the cargo connect marker on the field. The goal of the mission is to deliver. The mission model is assembled before that.

Power can be stored in batteries, but it takes a lot of energy to produce them.

Deliver energy units to the rechargeable battery target area.

Factories use large amounts of energy to make the products we use such as toys.

Deliver energy units to the toy factory bin and release the mini dinosaur toy.

Surplus renewable energy can be used to convert water into hydrogen gas that can be stored in tanks until it is needed.

Deliver energy units to the hydrogen plant target area.

This model should represent the solution to your Innovation Project.

Deliver your Innovation Project model to the hydrogen plant target area.

Water from the river above the dam is stored in the reservoir. Water from lower down the river can also be pumped back up to fill the reservoir at times when there is excess electricity to use.

Place the looped water units from the river above and below the dam into the water reservoir or onto the red hooks.

Water released from the reservoir turns the turbine wheel to generate electricity.

Send the water unit from the top of the hydroelectric dam into the turbine wheel to release the energy unit.

Demand for energy is very high, and many different energy sources can be used to meet that demand.

Release the three energy units from the power plant.

Electronic devices like toys require energy to work. Rechargeable batteries are a more sustainable choice than disposable batteries.

Insert an energy unit or a rechargeable battery into the dinosaur toy to make it work.

Energy consumption in our homes is part of everyday life, such as watching the television.

Raise the television screen and move the energy unit to the television slot.

Renewable energy from the wind is used to turn the turbine blades and generate electricity.

Release the energy units from the wind turbine.

Hybrid cars use a combination of energy sources and can recharge or refuel at the fueling station.

Recharge the hybrid car by inserting the hybrid unit into the car.

Solar energy can be stored using new concentrating solar power technologies and then used to generate electricity.

Start the distribution of the energy units by moving them off their positions on the mat.

Smart grids use electricity generated from all the different energy sources and distribute it to the consumer where and when it is needed.

Raise your field’s orange connector to complete the smart grid connection with the opposite field.

New technologies help us to store energy. Volcanic rocks can be heated in an insulated enclosure to store energy until it is needed.

Load energy units into the energy storage bin and then release the stored energy unit from the tray under the model.

Oil is a non-renewable energy source that can be used to provide fuel for vehicles.

Pump the oil so that the fuel units load into the fuel truck, and then deliver the fuel truck to the fueling station.

Every time we start the robot we want to start from the same place, not only in terms of where we are on the field but also in terms of how are the motors rotate. The motors have an internal sensor for detecting the rotation. Because of this they know how rotated they are. It is a very good practice to always reset the motors before we start a competition run especially at FIRST LEGO League or World Robot Olympiad competitions

In this 10 out of 10 tutorials we do 10 runs that demonstrated how consistent and reliable it is to stop at the second intersection. This is useful as it is one of the main ways to figure out how to position yourself on the field.

In this video tutorial we take a next step in programming reliable and consistent robots and this is to learn how to stop at a second intersection. We need this because most of the time when we want to reach a mission model on a robotics competition field, the model will be located away from us and we must use all kind of technique to reach it. In this tutorial - we stop at a second intersection.
