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.

You already know what wait for seconds does, but do you know what wait until does?

Have you ever had many blocks of your program that repeat? This block will shorten your program significantly when this happens!

Sounds easy, eh? Try it for a bit and come back to read this tutorial!

We already know how to move the whole robot. How can we move only one motor?

How much does a robot move when it turns 90°? How does this compare to a wheel turning 90°? What’s the difference?

How to measure an angle?

Energy storage mission from FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 is again a two parts mission where we have to drop a few energy units in the mission model, but we also have to pull part of the mission model. In this video tutorial we demonstrate how the Chain Monster LEGO box robot accomplishes this with a multi purpose attachment for box robots.

This M12 Water reservoir from FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 is accomplish in two part with the Chain Monster box robot. The first part is in a previous tutorial. This is the second part where we collect the third water unit. We use a passive attachment to collect this unit.

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.

In this video tutorial the Chain Monster LEGO box robot uses a multi-purpose attachment to collect two elements from the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWERED field and these are the "water" units on the field. What's interesting is that the contain where the water units are stored could be closed and opened and this allows us to freely move while non of the water units are lost.

In this video tutorial we pull the Smart grid mission model from the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 competition. The goal is to lift the hand to connect with the hand on the other team field. We do this my pulling on the attachment and we reuse the same "hand" that we have for collecting.

In this video tutorial the Chain Monster box robot accomplishes a mission that requires two actions. We should lift up (lever) and push almost at the same time on the mission model for it to release the batteries. These mission model is from the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWERED competition.
