This Next Gen FLL Robot Will Change the Game Forever

[@Builderdude35]

So... What do you all think?? Share thoughts here :D

[@marcosgarces7962]

Only 6 ports losing 1 sensor is not an option (considering the gyro is already incorporated in the robot)

[@KristineFreiberga-d6k]

you should make a tutorial on this new bot

[@girkchen]

@@marcosgarces7962its Really interesting to read this comments almost 2 years later… now no one is using color sensors anymore 😂

[@marcosgarces7962]

@@girkchen completely true, the gyro is way better than the ev3 worth losing the color sensor, also the field has every year less lines so...

[@techwith_tj]

and another premiere cant wait for it as it will be premiereing at 11pm IST

[@Builderdude35]

It's gonna be 12 pm Eastern Time, I'm not sure how that translates to where you are though

[@thadwengert6346]

Great choice for the background piano music ! Oh, and great base, too.

[@Cobra97917]

11:44 can you tell me what platform that is?

[@dluders]

Like you said, I like the compactness of your Proxima design. There is room for lots of FLL attachments, shells, etc.... :)

[@Builderdude35]

Lots of possibilities! The Swiss army knife of FLL robots returns!

[@christiaanscholte329]

My favorite part is the smaller sensors. Second on the list the new motor shapes because the ev3 large motors could be difficult to work with

People can buy the individual parts for the 51515 set on www.lego.com/en-us/service/replacementparts/sale/choose-brick

Thanks for sharing the link!!

I think the dual bevel gears are more flexible than the dog gears, allowing for a 90 degree turn in the first stud. Downside: for a 90 degree engagement, the attachment has to be strong or else the dual bevel gear teeth will slip past each other.

[@MrAnandbajaj]

how do you make an attachment for a box robot? Is there another way?

[@WilliamFrantz]

I created build instructions for Proxima and sent them over using the contact form on your website.

[@Builderdude35]

I saw the email come through but hadn't gotten a chance to acknowledge it. Thanks so much!

[@sdecabo1]

Hi, Kyle. I'm a big fan--my robotics team grew up with your EV3 videos before graduating on to FTC--and, now, moving on to college! I was trying to find the Proxima plans for another group I'm working with, but it looks like the link on your webpage is broken. Could you point us to the instructions? Thanks!

[@fantasybabydino]

what is the music at 2:59?

[@ralphcopley8005]

Love your videos and so does my FLL Team. Thank you for putting your knowledge on the web.

[@vlendvaj]

Great, thanks!

[@Builderdude35]

You're welcome!

One can obtain additional Color Sensors from Lego Education; the ones in the Spike Prime set are identical to the ones in the 51515 set: education.lego.com/en-us/shop/all?productLines=SPIKE%E2%84%A2+Prime+Set

[@Builderdude35]

Motors too, I may add!

[@IllusionQuest16]

Why don't you use a box robot? Are they not good?

[@Builderdude35]

This is my own unique way of designing robots!

[@IllusionQuest16]

@@Builderdude35 Okay just wondering

[@MavPhotos1004]

Carl plz do some instructions for this robot on .pdf

[@Builderdude35]

I have an LDCAD for now. I don't have the time or skills to make a PDF myself, but if you know anyone who can, please send them my way!

Do some more creations Your creations are so good

[@Builderdude35]

@@MavPhotos1004 thanks my friend! definitely planning to do some more over the next few months. I really appreciate your support!

[@paulmarkert5907]

What do I think? First, its great to see your videos pop back up in my feed! Second, I was lukewarm on the Spike after doing some initial work with it, but seeing your evaluation, as well as a great example of what can be done with it, I think I will give Spike another try. Thanks for your insight!

[@GaryMortimer]

Well done Kyle top notch!

[@Builderdude35]

Thanks so much! I'm really happy that you are pleased with the new design!

Indeed, a steady diet of peanut butter and wheat thins really did the trick 😂

Amazing Project!

yup!!!

[@abbabab966]

Is the download compatible with Bricklink Studio?

[@Builderdude35]

Not this one, but some fans have contributed studio files that I will post soon

[@75STARFISH]

Dude, name it after yourself. Kylersaurus or something like that. Builderdude35irius. Or if you are humble the 51515otron. Is your name Carl or Kyle? I don't know

[@Builderdude35]

Lmao this is very funny. Maybe Kyleborg would have been a cool name. (My name is Kyle btw)

[@naurobot6608]

Well done

Awesome 👍👍👍

Proxima rules! :)

The design: The design looks like a smaller version of your previous robot. That's all well and good, as far as FLL goes. It is a competent design. But what does your new model do that the old one doesn't, other than the space reduction? Does it do anything better? How does your new bot utilize the unique features of the Spike? Spike: Spike is the latest platform Lego wants to sell us, and they're discontinuing all the EV3 hardware to reinforce that decision. That's Lego's business. Actually, I think the three-axis gyros and accelerometers that come built-in with the Spike will be amazing for enthusiasts, even if these capabilities are wholly unnecessary for FLL; unfortunately, few kids (the target audience) will ever use the machine's best features. I wish it were compatible with the older motors and sensors. I dislike the LED display too. I'll probably buy one eventually anyway, because I want to use the new sensors to balance an autonomous biped. For this year's challenge, I am again playing with an RCX . Three motors instead of the one-motor bot I built two years ago (the City Shaper challenge had a unique playing field that made a one-motor bot possible). Three sensor inputs: I'm going with two rotation sensors and an offset light sensor (which side should be a no-brainer). It's the smallest, and arguably the cutest, FLL-legal robot you'll ever see, right down to the Lego man sitting at the controls. If you can lay your hands on the hardware, I highly recommend it.
