Video tutorials

In this video tutorial we demonstrate the importance of properly shielding and protecting the light/color sensors of your LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor robots. These principles generally apply for all kind of robots. The problem is that external light sources from the venue could change the behavior of the robot - like have you ever been to a competition venue where the lighting just makes the robot behave in different ways? - well this tutorial is for you!

In this video tutorial, we accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 mission called Platooning Trucks. The goal is to connect the two mission models (trucks) to each other and then connect them both to the bridge. It's quite an interesting mission as it involves three mission models.

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.

Here's one way to program using a color sensor!

What is a color? How does our robot detect it? Learn that here!

Have you ever wondered if your robot can make decisions? Here's how we can make that happen!

Have you ever wondered if your robot can make decisions? Here's how we can achieve that!

This is one of the first sensor blocks you'll learn! Here's how we use it!

Now that you know how the distance sensor works, how do we use it?

How does the distance sensor measure distance? Let's learn!

Have you ever needed your robot to do two things at once? That's called a parallel thread. Here's how to do it in SPIKE Prime using Word Blocks software.

Here's one way to program using a force sensor:
