Next I would like to set a few task that you can try to solve. Few programs to implement so that you can learn better how to use the gyro sensor.

An example for such task is to make the robot move in a triangle. Move forward, then turn to exactly 60 degrees, move forward, turn again 60 degrees, move forward turn again 60 degrees and stop. That's just an example. Check out all of the tasks below the video in the description. Try to solve them. Try to build a program. If you have any questions ask them in the comments below, record a video of you robot and give us a link below.

Moving Straight with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robots

One of the most controversial topics when it comes to LEGO Mindstorms robots is how to make them move in a straight line. This is a problem that has caused a lot of confusion among teachers, parents, rookie teams and students. The robot makes about 2-3 centimetres error for every meter, which is about an inch for every 3-4 feets. In this course, I would like to discuss the different ways in which you can improve the behaviour of the robot and how you could make it move in a straight line with the help of the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Gyro Sensor.

Gyro Sensor Introduction

The Gyro sensor in LEGO Mindstorms EV3 sets is new for the sets and we answer basic questions about its usage. The sensor detect when the whole constructions turns at a particular angle, but there are a number of gotchas in using it.

EV3 Basic Course. Introduction to robot programming, construction and sensor use

This course is designed for students, mentors and teachers that are completely new to LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robots and would like to start using them to learn, in classes or at competitions. It is quite different from previously built resources at FLLCasts because it makes no assumption on any previous knowledge and tries to introduce everything step-by-step.
