LEGO Assembly Line Challenge Spring 2022
Переглядів 4262 роки тому
This is the culminating Project for the 2022 Shadow Hills Engineering and Design Magnet Academy LEGO Robotics pathway. There are 11 teams represented here that worked separately on their part of the assembly line. Each were given the plans for a conveyor belt, but the rest was up to them. I think they did a great job!
LEGO GBC Mangled Menagerie
Переглядів 1,8 тис.3 роки тому
This is my adaptation of Akiyuki’s Mangle Gear Contraption I have named "Mangled Menagerie". I have modified his original model it into a Great Ball Contraption. When I saw his original post, I immediately saw the potential for a GBC module. I’m a big fan of conveyor belts and I knew they would work with the flow of this contraption. It has been a lot of hard work reverse engineering Akiyuki’s ...
Indiana Jones and the Temple of The Skull a LEGO GBC
Переглядів 2023 роки тому
This is my entry for the Spring Into GBC Contest. It is an Indiana Jones themed ball pump that I completely rebuild from scratch as you can see from my other video. The lift mechanism is completely my own design as are the twin ball agitators in the ball hopper. I hope you enjoy the build. I am currently finalizing the instruction for the ball pump mechanism as a stand alone GBC that I will pos...
Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Skull LEGO GBC
Переглядів 1333 роки тому
This is my GBC MOC using a pump mechanism created by Lasse Deleuran (UA-cam: MMM GBC). It was my first time creating a themed GBC. I'm a huge Indiana Jones fan. I came up with the idea for this model when I received the skull piece (Rock Skull 4x4x10 Panel Part #47991) in a LEGO lot I purchased. I thought it would make a great GBC with the balls alternating between the eyes. It started off pret...

This is the 2019 Battlegobot Championship between my robot Atomic Wedgie and Nightmare at Brickworld Chicago. I didn't think my robot had a chance when I entered this competition. I basically modified my sumobot to compete. It was a ton of fun!

This is from the 2019 Battlegobot competition between my robot Atomic Wedgie and Nightmare at Brickworld Chicago. This was a preliminary round battle and was used to determine seeding in the single elimination tournament. This is the first time I met Nightmare in the competition. His robot is devastating!

I am looking for table for my team. Are you still selling tables?
Hi Me. Merrill
poor billy bob
thanks you waste my time mother fucker 🤬🤬🤬
I know this is late but did you try to run the motors indepently if used in tank mode it runs each motor together
Thanks Scott for making publishing this video and plans! In my area, I could not get the 13mm material, so I adapted it to 10mm. I have made a video explaining my modifications at ua-cam.com/video/eVhYuDUljic/v-deo.html. We have used this table for two seasons and it has been really great. I hope this helps more coaches and parents support their FLL teams
Wow it's very good
use data loging to check motor sensor values and others and display them on screen to figure out?
i have the same problem but how to fix?
I remember getting to make a battle bot in high school We gave it treads and a fliper arm . Named it Charles
Nice
Could make a vertical spinner
Motors on vex are simply too weak

bro I wish we had that ngl.
this is cool but were going to use vex v5 and I feel like this is going to be way more destructive
Do it.
Anyone know to fix the broken motor? I have the same issue but 1 motor draws a little more power from the other one and makes more noise, while the other is slower and quieter. I noticed the problem after unplugging some wires out and putting them back in during the program running. I don't know if that might be the cause though, maybe a coincidence.
Watching these championships is as exciting as the real Battlebots show. I hope you will continue with this. Love it!
Thanks! The kids really enjoyed the project. I'm hoping to revive it this spring :)
How many VEX tiles did you use for the arena?
WOW, this was great. My 3rd grade class enjoyed watching this. We will defiantly have to do this!
This is a wonderful project. Is there any rubric, documentation, or paperwork that could be shared on this project. I am brand new to the robotics and this would be a great project. I realize this is from 5 years ago but if you are still out there please help me whith what you can.
Send me an email at sdmerrill@palmdalesd.org
Nice
Thanks! I was having this same issue and this solution worked
I think the position encoder has stopped on the right motor and the brain is compensating what it thinks is a stall on the right by slowing the left down.
Very nice! I came across this commercial version (www.robotshop.com/uk/portable-robotics-table-corrugated-plastic-fll-size.html) but I like that yours has thicker board and regulation width sides. Your design uses ‘mortice and tenon’ joints by the way - not ‘tongue and groove.’ :-)
Looks like that link doesn't exist anymore.
Where can I find the rules you use for VEX IQ Battlebots?
program please
In round 2 that 1 hit by the hammer on the wedge ended One spinny boi because it loosened the wedge
just wanna say they have just started vaccine testing on the virus, so might wanna start back planning on the 2020 version!!
TBH spinny boi and Dane giraffe are the best ones
Forgive me if I'm wrong but I don't understand why they don't use their weapons more often. They had so many opportunities to use their hammer but to no avail. Now I am working on building my own vex battlebot. So is it as simple for pressing a button to attack, or it it more complicated. Because if it were me I wanna WIN. So I'm not just gonna sit there with a chance to use my weapon and not hit them.
The problem was that the hammer weapon was not powerful enough to do any damage. Something to think about when you create your own.
Ok thx. BTW I'm doing a spinner. And do you guys have plans for 2020 cause this is really entertaining. Any also is this like a school or something cause I'm curious or where this is.
@@JothamBilly We are a middle school and the students are in my 8th grade Advanced Robotics class. We did but with this pandemic schools are shut down indefinitely. I may have to wait until next year :(
NOOOOOOOO. so what ur saying is you guys had a plan for a 2020 version but it got shut down due to the virus, right?
Lol he turned it off by hitting it lol
WHere is this?
Aye Mr Merrill
Hey are you guys going to do a 2020 version of this cause I would like to see more
We do have a plans for a 2020 version😀
YES!!!
if that was sqared away than it will be perfect but still very good
but how do you fix
have the same proplem
Nobody: Kids that didn't make it to State or Worlds: Its Robot Fighting time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rookie teams be like
Thanks! I have been changing wires and motors to get it to work.
My sister didn't mean it
Wha
Even a first grader can do this
yea right, why dont you do it then?
Me and my friends would secretly do this when my teacher wasn’t looking and it’s been like the third week doing this
Hey mr Merrill
We are doin this in school
same my bot is soooo gooooood I go to Suncoast Polytech school in Florida I think we are a top 10 school in the state
Thanks for the video - have spent days switching wires and motors! You've helped my team save a bunch of motors we thought were dead....
For those of you in SoCal - We bought the 10mm thickness PP (Coroplast) at Polymershapes LLC in Burbank for about $30 per large sheet
@Menaka Nagarajan yes I was. We’ve been using the table ever since!
@Menaka Nagarajan we didn’t have any of those problems. Maybe try another place?
I don’t know how they cut it. Maybe you could call the company we used? (Place mentioned in my first comment).
We also face the same problem.
Great design ... especially the 27 pound net weight! Inteplast.com shows 16&25mm thicknesses, but no pricing. Did you already conclude those are not worth the extra cost?
