Solving FLL Superpowered missions Passively

I challenged myself to solve as many of this year's Superpowered missions without any motors. These are the missions I was able to do, but I did skip 2 because they can easily be done by driving forwards. This is just my approach to solving these missions, and obviously, they may be less efficient than simply using a motor, though I think having these passive options is convenient. Hope this helps, and good luck to all teams!

Moving Wall Robot 3.0

Переглядів 19 тис.2 роки тому

This is the most compact moving wall robot I could design. I wanted to improve from my previous 2 designs since both their lifting mechanisms felt awkward and bulky. While FLL is about to officially release next year's missions, I hope this helps teams brainstorm new robot designs.

How to use Wall-Following attachments to drive straight and align

Переглядів 14 тис.2 роки тому

Wall-following attachments can allow robots to drive straight and align with the table consistently. They consist of flat panels or wheels that allow the robot to drive into an FLL table, using the wall as a guide to drive straight. They can also be used mid-run to align the robot parallel with the table. In addition, if teams don't want their robots to drive around with these attachments, they...

4 Rubber Band attachments

Переглядів 17 тис.3 роки тому

Rubber bands can trigger passive attachments, replacing the need for motorized mechanisms. They can provide decent amounts of power, and are reliable at powering contraptions since the lego rubber bands are quite durable. Hopefully, these 4 attachments provide examples as to various methods and applications of rubber bands. Music: Everglow - Patrick Patrikios Support by RFM - NCM: bit.ly/2xGHypM

Moving Wall Robot version 2

Переглядів 8 тис.3 роки тому

I wanted to make a 2nd version of a moving wall robot I had built earlier because I felt that its compactness, "boxiness", and its electronic placements could all be improved. So in this 2nd version, I made a much more square-build with a front and rear attachment platform, as well as a distance sensor in the back of the robot. - Music: Yellow Waltz [Original Mix] by Imperss is licensed under a...

Comparing the SPIKE prime kit to the EV3 set

Переглядів 65 тис.3 роки тому

Recently, I led a LEGO robotics camp at a local coding academy, and I was able to borrow their SPIKE prime kit to play with over the weekend. So in this video, I give an overview of the SPIKE prime kit, and talk about why teams should switch to the kit, or stay with their ev3 sets.

3 Mindstorms Inventor Kit Robots

Переглядів 8 тис.3 роки тому

I recently was able to play with the Mindstorms Inventor kit. I thought about how this kit differs from the SPIKE Prime set, and about potential FLL robot designs with the different motors and frames. So here are 3 robot designs. robot design Studio2.0 file download. robot #1: drive.google.com/file/d/1vid0eqT5-eI768w0MoLFwgv6SDU4kT3r/view?usp=sharing robot #2: drive.google.com/file/d/1VRXoQsV3l...

3 Stages of a Delivering Attachment

Переглядів 20 тис.3 роки тому

Here are 3 stages/levels of an attachment, each getting progressively more complex, aimed at completing missions that are more challenging. Since these attachments are all passive, they can be really useful in FLL because they can complete complex missions without a motor, saving you an extra port.

In this video, I share my thoughts on 3 robot designs that people emailed to me to review. These designs are quite interesting and unique in their own ways, so I hope this video gives more insight into the robot design process. If any of you guys want to share your design with me, I'll be happy to review them: email me at: brickwise1@gmail.com

The most effective 2 sensor Line Following setup

Переглядів 8 тис.3 роки тому

In this video, I test a new color sensor setup where one color sensor is on the front of the robot, while another sensor is on the back. This new setup is aimed at reducing the swaying motion found in many 1x sensor line following programs, which would greatly increase the consistency of the angle the robot is facing while following a line. Although this setup works great, it should only be use...

In my last video, I talked about how rack and pinions can be very useful in FLL because they can be built to move both horizontally and vertically. So here 5 examples of horizontal linear actuator gearboxes.

How to use Gear Racks in FLL

Переглядів 21 тис.3 роки тому

This video talks about how you can use rack and pinions for FLL. They are extremely versatile because they move both vertically and horizontally. I will go over a simple rack and pinion design, various functions and uses, and overall why gear racks should replace mechanical arms. I will talk more about how to build various rack & pinion designs in a later video. simple horizontal Rack and Pinio...

SPIKE Prime "Moving Wall" Robot Design

Переглядів 20 тис.3 роки тому

Here is a robot design that incorporates the moving wall concept, in which the outside frame of the robot is able to move in all directions due to vertical and horizontal gear racks. This increased maneuverability allows the robot to complete many FLL missions using small, simple attachments.

Easy Wall Following Program

Переглядів 1,6 тис.4 роки тому

Here is a very simple program that allows a robot to drive parallel against a wall using the Infrared or ultrasonic sensor. This can be useful in FLL to help the robot align itself during a run whenever there are no black lines to follow. However, this program doesn't work too well when trying to drive less than 6cm(2.36 inches) from the wall. The second math block in the program simply acts as...
