Video tutorials

In this video tutorial we accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWERED mission called M04 Solar Farm. We use the chain monster box robot along with a passive attachment that helps us collect 3 of the energy units. The interesting thing about the mission is the collection of the units, of course, but also the way this robot manoeuvres when there is not enough space. It aligns to the lines, it uses the color and motion sensors. Really advance way to align the robot.

This is a programming video tutorials. It uses LEGO Education Word Blocks which is the scratch version. We enter into details of how to accomplish missions in a tight spot, how to align the robot and how to make it repeatable.

In this LEGO video tutorial we accomplish 3 missions with the Kriket box robot. A number of actions are performed like Lever, Lift, Drop, Pull, Align. This tutorials shows how to accomplish missions models that are closely positioned next to each other.

This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial on an active, auto-correcting, locking, and aligning attachment that accomplishes the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Cargo Connect Large Delivery mission. The difference, as compared to the previous solution to the mission, is that we now use a much more consistent and reliable robot.

In this video tutorial, we carry, deliver and drop a large object with an attachment that is much more stable than the basic. We get out of the base, and we actually carry the model. This attachment is also auto-correcting as it has a guiding beam at the front, and even when the robot makes a mistake, we can successfully accomplish the mission.

This is a 10 out of 10 video tutorial demonstrating the consistency and reliability of a configurable attachment. The attachment is designed to accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Cargo Connect mission model called Sorting Center. The mission model has 3 cargo objects that could be placed in a different way. The attachment is configurable and before the run we configure it for the specific way in which the mission model is set up before the start of the round.

In this video tutorial, we demonstrate a configurable attachment used for accomplishing a FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Cargo Connect mission called Sorting Center. The mission model has three cargo objects that are placed randomly. The attachment is configured before the run based on the configuration of the cargo objects. This attachment is also very powerful as it aligns and auto-corrects the errors that the robot is making by squaring the robot.

What if the robot could make a mistake and still accomplish the mission? That is what we demonstrate with this tutorial - a few principles for error tolerance and self-correction. Even though we start the robot from a few different places, we manage to complete the mission with the same program every time. We use the LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot, and we continue directly after the 10 out of 10 tutorial

This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial for pushing gently on a mission model. We also discuss how to build robots that tolerate error and auto-correct their behavior.

In this video tutorial, we demonstrate how to gently push an object to accomplish the mission. "Gently" means that we are pushing but not with force. If we push using force, the mission model will fall, and we will not accomplish the mission. We use LEGO Education SPIKE Prime and the Ultrasonic Sensor.

On of the most precise ways to position on the FIRST LEGO League and other competition fields is to follow and align and in this tutorial we demonstrate exactly this - how consistent and reliable this method is to reach specific mission models. In this way you know that every time you will be at the right place, which is great.

In this video tutorial we show how you can build robots that position on the field consistently and reliably by following and line and then aligning to a line. We also demonstrate the concept of "double align" which is quite powerful and even if there were some mistakes they will be handled.

When aligning backward the robot is still very consistent. It does not matter the direction in which we align. What you will learn from this tutorial is what is the consistency and reliability of the robot that you could expect.

Instead of aligning forward as in the previous tutorial we felt there is a need to demonstrate how we could align backward when moving with the robot. This is not a rare case. The attachments of the robot are generally at the front of the robot and especially during FIRST LEGO League competitions the robot must move backward very often. It is helpful to have in your toolbox the ability to align backward with the robot.

This video tutorial demonstrates again the consistency of the program for aligning to a line. We run it ten time. We the robot is always coming from the left it is always arriving at the same position. When it is coming from the right it is always arriving at the same position.

The reason why you would want to watch this tutorial is because it demonstrates one of the most reliable ways to know where you are on the field and to accomplish missions successfully and this is aligning to a line. In the tutorial you will also see how a parallel program is developed and who parallel programs could be used in a meaningful way.

On the topic of following lines with a robot there is a way to make the robot follow the line a little more precisely. This method is called "Multi-states" program. Or at least we call it like this. In this tutorial you will see how we program 5 state for the robot line following program. This could be particularly important with FIRST LEGO League competitions where we must build consistent and reliable robots.

In this video tutorial we use an active attachment with a gears, built only form LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor parts, to accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2020 Treadmill mission. The goal of the mission is to rotate the mission model for a couple of seconds so that a pointer makes a half circle rotation. What you will learn is a good principle to approach such missions.

This is a 10 out of 10 video recording about the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay competition and the mission called Boccia Target. We are using LEGO Mindstroms Robot Inventor. The 10 out of 10 recording shows how reproducible the solution to the mission is. You will see a demonstration of a complex attachment that does 3-4 things at once - it alights, pushes, drops, which are all things that are commonly seen at FLL competitions.

In this video tutorial we accomplish the Boccia mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay competition. We use LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor robot. In this mission we use an attachment that does three things in the same time - align, push one lever and drop a couple of boxes in a target. It is a complex attachment and it is worth the watch.

This is a 10 out of 10 video tutorial for the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePLAY robotics competition and the Treadmill mission. We build a robot with consistent behavior that is able to achieve the mission every time

This FIRST LEGO League robotics video tutorial is about the Treadmill mission and how it could be accomplished. The mission is from FLL 2020 RePlay competition. Almost every year there is a mission of this type where the robot must spend a lot of time with the mission model in order to turn or lift something. These are quite interesting and challenging missions.

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.

This LEGO robotics video tutorial is a 10 out of 10 run of the one of the most complex missions at the FIRST LEGO League 2021 RePlay competition. As the mission has three parts we are measuring the success rate of each part of the mission. What you can learn from this tutorial is how to achieve three missions in a single run including line following and a lot of aligning

In this LEGO robotics video tutorial we will accomplish mission 8 from the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay competition. The name of the mission is Boccia. What you will learn from the video is how to accomplish complex missions that require following a line, aligning to the line and accomplishing many mission models in a single run

This tutorial demonstrates how a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot could stop when it reaches a wall. FIRST LEGO League competitions are held on tables that have border and it is sometimes useful to use the Ultrasonic sensor to detect the border and stop close to the border. The attachment uses Luly, a small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions as a robot base.
