Important improvements on Rubber band attachment with a flywheel
"The devil is in the details". We are improving the Rubber band attachment with a Flywheel by introducing a few small, but important modifications that make the whole robot attachment more stable and reliable. With the conclusion of the series this attachment could be used as a basis for some very interesting STEM demonstrations on energy accumulation and conservation.

Truck and its cargo. FIRST LEGO League Trash Trek 2015
Many teams have followed the same idea as the ELM team. To build a LEGO Mindstorms attachment for the robot and to lift the truck very lightly. In this way they could more the truck and place it in the special region. See what the ELM idea was.

Crossed lines (T Sections). Positioning. Part 2.
This second part continues with importing two previously developed in Episode 53 blocks into our program. With them we can for align to lines. We program the robot to align to the cross line and start following it.

Improving FLL Robot Game. Introduction to task for Lifting
We've already build a number of resources for lifting at FLLCasts.com. But at the end of this course we would have a robot that lifts itself and hangs on the mission model.

Composting. FIRST LEGO League Trash Trek 2015
Go to the missions model. Do the missions. You can then continue to the next mission or wait a few seconds at this FIRST LEGO League 2015 Trash Trek mission model and receive a few more points. Isn't it interesting. The ELM team has build a LEGO Mindstorms attachment for this robot. Let's see how it works.

One attachment for Solving FIRST LEGO League 2014 World Class missions - part 2
We show the principle of solving the next FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Nature's Fury 2013 competition missions. Again, without any programs, but just the principles of using one attachment for most of the missions.

FLL 2018: How to accomplish M09 (lift heavy) from FIRST LEGO League 2018 Into Orbit. Review
This video tutorial contains a detailed explanation on how we accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2018-2019 Into Orbit mission called M09. STRENGTH EXERCISE. I could think for a couple of missions in previous years that require lifting a heavy object. Let's see how this mission could be accomplished.

Experiment and Data Logging of the Gyro Sensor
Let's record the values of the Gyro Sensor while the robot is moving and is trying to keep its orientation straight. This is an interesting experiment and we will have to use file access to write the values to a file.

FLL 2018: Mission run M09 (lift heavy) from FIRST LEGO League 2018 Into Orbit. Review
In this video tutorial we would look at the mission run for M09. STRENGTH EXERCISE. The mission is to lift a heavy object in the air. And that could a complex mission. It requires to use gear wheel and the attachment should be quite strong. The tutorial contains only the mission run on the field. We accomplish a single mission.

[How NOT To] Build An Active Attachment For SUV Box Robot
The video shows why you should not build attachments such as "Crappy Active Attachment For SUV Box Robot". In the video one can see how the knob gear wheels start "jumping", once a force is applied to the lever.

Collecting humans. Moving modules. WRO 2014 Elementary. Part 1. Rocket Elements
(LEGO humans of course, not real humans :) ). Working on World Robotics Olympiad 2014 elementary challenge. Collecting modules, bringing them together and lifting them. A very funny and interesting competition that we would explore in this and the next video tutorials from the series

Code of conduct during the robotics lessons
We have the following behavior expectations from you during this course:
You ask the question.
You will probably err before you succeed.
You should work as a team. Share solutions with others, help them and allow them to help you.
When the teacher speaks, this is important to everyone.
You should read your lesson before you come to class.

Data logging the behavior of the LEGO Mindstorms Robot and its Gyro Sensor
This video tutorial is about understanding the "magic". In this video tutorial, we would conduct an experiment and will look at how exactly does the integral part of the PID algorithm compensate for the error that the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot makes.

Constructing BigDaddy Competition Robot (Part 2 - Front)
Based on your feedback we have decided to show you the live process of building a complex LEGO Mindstorms Competition robot without having the whole robot ready yet. We are continuing from part 1 where we finished part of the 'front' of the robot and we arrived at a construction that we didn`t like and would fix in this video lesson.
