Programs

This program counts coins. It is meant to work with Scrooge McRobot. For it to count the coins correctly, you must change the coins border sizes to match the measurements of the coins that are being used.

This MyBlock waits for the color sensor to detect any color and returns the peak angle the gyro detected at that time. This program is meant to work with a coin counting robot named Scrooge McRobot.

This project is for Barco - LEGO Mindstorms EV3 sailboat robot. The project includes two programs.

The first program makes the robot go in a square shape, using the gyro sensor for better accuracy. The second program makes it go in a triangle, again, using the gyro sensor. These programs are a great way to learn how to use the gyro sensor.

This project is for Piscis - a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Fish robot. The project includes two programs for two different feeding spots for the fish. The first one is straight across the reef in which Piscis lives, and the second one is to the side, after a 90 degree turn. In those programs the fish robot has to wait a few times in order to be sure no sharks are around him. It detects feeding spots using a touch sensor. The interesting part is how it returns, without knowledge how far it has gone. The program uses motor rotation sensor in order to return to the reef in both cases.

This program is for Antares - a simple LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Scorpion robot. The program uses rotation sensor to detect if the scorpion has caught anything using its claws. We predict how many degrees the claw has to move to close fully and if it hasn't done that many, it has caught something.

This project is for Lintu - a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Kiwi bird robot. The project includes three programs, the first is the main program for the robot. It goes forward until it sees a hand next to its beak, then closes it and returns to the starting point, its nest. The second program is an upgrade: the robot not only closes its beak, but also check if there is "food" in it. Both the checking for food and the returning to starting position are made using the motor rotation sensor.

The last program is a fun one. It makes the robot bite!

These are a series of programs that measure the length and volume of a room. They are meant to work with the robot Voli.

This MyBlock is made in substitution for a regular wait-gyro-rate block. It is made with a filter so that big differences in sensor data don't show up as much. It also uses only absolute values of the data so negative or positive angle on the gyro sensor does not matter. The MyBlock ends, when the rate is below a certain value, which is inputed by a parameter.

By default the Gyro sensor is connected on port 2 but if your robot is different, make sure to change the blocks to suit it.

This is a program for the Sebastian crab robot. It makes the robot walk, but also keeps track of where its legs are. It makes those who overrun the others to stop and wait for them. 

Instructions for the robot can be found here.

This program allows Radarford to measure the speed of oncoming cars, and control their speed. The Radarford instructions you can find here.

This is a simple program that posts, a JSON message, on MQTT server, with topic "ledStrip".

A robot that can be an ATM or smart lock with color code. The programs pull in and push out the color card and play sounds if the colors are in correct order. When the order is incorrect, you hear an error sound.

The robot takes place in lesson 7 of level 3.0 Security Systems.

This program lets the robot Safe be opened with a password, and demonstrates how passwords can be stolen.

This is the second program for the Watchtower Security Bot. These programs are meant to build on the security features the robot offers, and to return it to its starting condition afterbeing used. You can find the first program for this robot here.

With this program you can drive the Truckie or every robot with the same port settings. It is easy to drive with that set up because you use the left stick to control the speed and the right stick to steer. The benefit according to Truckie Hard To Drive VEX IQ Program for Modkit is that this set up uses both sticks to control the movement. Probably you will use this stick setting in the VEX competition and practicing this type of setting will be very useful for your driving skills to grow. Ones you have master this driving technic you will be more relaxed while you are on the competition.

After you feel satisfied with your driving skills and you have accomplished all the goals you can continue with the competition driving program settings.

This program is mainly for controlling Truckie VEX IQ robot.

This program can be used to control the Advanced Truckie. This programs include the use of the R UP and R Down Butons on the VEX Controller. It lifts up and down the arm of the Advanced Little Truckie.

These programs are ment to work with the watchtower security bot.

"ShowRate" shows the gyro rate on the display of the robot.

"SoundProgram" plays different sounds depending on the vibration the gyro scenes.

"GreedTheGuard" plays sounds depending on the vibration for 15 seconds, or until the ultrasonic sensor scenes something near it.

"Optimised" is the same program as "GreedTheGuard", but it uses the time condition in the loop.
