FLL - TechnoMonkeys - I am not competing this year, but I have a mat and I have a robot. I am just building and programming for fun, and posting videos. I still call myself the SWARM, which was my team's name last year.
Hello I'm deeply fascinated and amazed by your robot I'm competing in my fll this year and I'm using a robot similar to yours but with a difference in the front back and the sides of the box due to some complications and I'm having some issues with attachments and my team and I are struggling to make attachments to this to robot so can you make a video where you showcase the attachments in this video but with closer shots and show us how these attachments work and how they look like to give us an example Sincerely a team captain trying to impress his team and win I would really appreciate it if you do but if this is considered cheating or copying of some sort I don't mind you declining and thank you very much for reading this and may you have a great day and find a team you can compete in an Fll with since you are a really good builder and I wish you could be in my team or I can be in yours maybe someday but regardless thank you very much I greatly appreciate your videos and don't stop doing this Please forget about the spelling mistakes I'm not that good with typing
I am glad my robot inspires you! If you are having trouble with making attachment changing, here is how I do it: ua-cam.com/video/nCNxZ0Rqo_0/v-deo.html One of the methods I use in my first mission in this video, and to drop the sludge and water well, is to use the worm gear. I learned this worm gear method from builderdude35. Worm gear provides for 90 degree motion conversion and provides with more torque. Here is the video: ua-cam.com/video/TQ9hQ_ZXwmM/v-deo.html To complete the pipe construction mission, I convert the motion from the front of the robot to the back. I also use a worm gear here, to convert the motion from parallel to the mat, to going in the left direction (if you look at the robot from the back). Then, I use two bevel gears in a frame to convert the motion for going left, to going toward the back of the robot. Frames (part number:64179) are very strong supports, and good to put bevel gears into, because they already have a 90 degree turn. Then, I use some long axles with two universal joints to run the motion all the way to the back of the robot. To get a close look at how I complete the manhole cover mission, see this video: ua-cam.com/video/r6NaT6eoqwg/v-deo.html Btw, the arm for the pipe construction uses the same motor as the manhole cover. They are connected. If you have more questions, feel free to comment!
hi its me again i wanted to see if its possible for you to explain how you connect the worm gear to the main frame that connects to the motor and how can you make the frame stick or attach to the robot without moving around i found away but its different form the way you did it in the vid so i would just like to know how i don't want to copy but i'm just confused and keep in mind my robot is similar to yours but the box around the robot is a bit different than yours so it might not work the same way for my robot thank you sincerely F.K
GoldenPirate thelegend - On my base robot, there are two small gears that rotate in the front that re powered by medium motors. The gears face up. To make the worm gear spin, I just use another gear to connect with that small gear, then use an axle that leads up to the worm gear. As for how I connect the frame to the robot, that would be different for everyone. The frames literally has holes everywhere. You can attach it in seemingly endless ways. What I would say, to keep it sturdy, try making to connections, each with two pin connected, on each side of the frame. That will reduce movement the most.
Really nice! Congrats on almost 725 subscribers! When you finish Programming are you going to do a video on the all of the runs?
Thanks!
Yes, I will be making a video of all The mission combined with arm changing.
Not doing into orbit?
this is amazing. Our robot isn't this good :)
Good job
Akul Sharm- thanks!
do you use a gyro sensor??
Andy Whynot - yes it is kept deep in the center of the robot so vibrations will not affect it.
Hi MINDSTORMS man, I like your videos!!! What is your FLL team?
FLL - TechnoMonkeys - I am not competing this year, but I have a mat and I have a robot. I am just building and programming for fun, and posting videos. I still call myself the SWARM, which was my team's name last year.
Mindstorms Man - SWARM ok 👍 thanks!
Hello I'm deeply fascinated and amazed by your robot I'm competing in my fll this year and I'm using a robot similar to yours but with a difference in the front back and the sides of the box due to some complications and I'm having some issues with attachments and my team and I are struggling to make attachments to this to robot so can you make a video where you showcase the attachments in this video but with closer shots and show us how these attachments work and how they look like to give us an example
Sincerely a team captain trying to impress his team and win
I would really appreciate it if you do but if this is considered cheating or copying of some sort I don't mind you declining and thank you very much for reading this and may you have a great day and find a team you can compete in an Fll with since you are a really good builder and I wish you could be in my team or I can be in yours maybe someday but regardless thank you very much I greatly appreciate your videos and don't stop doing this

my robot has the same shape in the front
you used to have instructions on how to build the robot above and i managed to make a very similar robot
