FLL Robot Design Tutorial - Our World Record Robot (680 points!)

[@WaringRoboticsFTCFLL]

Of course this isn’t the only way to build an FLL robot - there are countless different designs and not necessarily a right or wrong - if you have any other design choices that are different that what we talked about in the video I encourage you to share them, we’d all love to hear about them!

[@WaringRoboticsFTCFLL]

As we say in the video we aren’t going to be giving out directions of the design in the video but we’re very happy to answer any questions you have about any of it!

[@lker6501]

When i am using these wheels in compination whith those front wheels the robot is a bit taller in front .do you have the same problem ?

[@wiseclutch9638]

Hi I am doing fll right now and it is my first time are there any other things that you guys used in building your robot

[@wiseclutch9638]

What are the names of the pieces that you guys used in studio

[@archigah]

can you give me a tutorial on how the color sensor works for the attachments

[@bharat5496]

These guys deserve more subscribers.

[@svenbonne]

I just designed 15 Robots after my Team passed out at the Semifinal in Germany NE at the end of january and i finally got one i like. It's nice to see, that you have a similar outcome and similar problems while 3d modeling your new robot! It surprised me, that your robot measures 17*20, because that's exactly the size my smallest design for 4 Attachments has! One advice from me: it might be useful for your next robots if you had a place for attachments at the front and at the back of your robot. And if that's not interesting for you, you could try to fit in the Size of 17*16 (mine robot size for 2 Attachments) by building a higher Robot.

[@leukanttila8233]

Brilliant video and vary well cut and edited! Is it possible for you to make a short video explaining your small wheels on the front and how to make successful attachments?

[@TheKidDavinci]

Owen and team: that's so amazing!!

[@rubytoastergaming6432]

I think that it's ABSOLUTELY GENIUS to use color sensors to sense which attachment is attached. Also the robot is very boxy which is also awesome!

[@fasvi1285]

Awesome, love the renders, especially the rotating render with the semi-transparent outer robot body and the solid inner core.

Hola que tal, me gustaria que compartieras tu diseño de Studio 2.0, quisiera tomar algunas notas de la parte central de tu robot Stormgeddon Mk. 10. Bendiciones y saludos desde R.D.

[@FLL-HamerLegoBreakers_888]

Storm mark 10 is the last level of your robot's? Or you gonna build another one for the next season?

[@WaringRoboticsFTCFLL]

Storm 10 is the latest robot that we designed and we used it for the city shaper season, and our entire team is moving up to FTC next year so there will be an entirely new group of team members who will decide whether or not they want to continue making further iterations of robots, so we’re not sure yet

[@FLL-HamerLegoBreakers_888]

@@WaringRoboticsFTCFLL ok, Successfully in the FTC!!!😊😊😊

[@dhirajyadav8892]

I like your idea😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩Bro can you give the photo of robot from each side and 2-3 photo of robot from inside like how is the order of large motor, medium motor and sensors are fixed in it. Plzzzzz

[@svenbonne]

Why did you used the half bricks close to the Wheels?

[@WaringRoboticsFTCFLL]

Jannik Svenson Thanks for the question! We used half bricks there because the wheels are a little bit more than two bricks wide, so if we had used full bricks they would’ve either been scraping on the wheel or the robot would’ve had to have been one brick wider on both sides. The half bricks allow us to get our robot as compact as possible while still supporting the wheels

[@svenbonne]

@@WaringRoboticsFTCFLL so you have a distance of 5 between the two medium motors in the middle?

[@WaringRoboticsFTCFLL]

Jannik Svenson We have 3 units of space in between the medium motors, which is exactly enough to fit our gyro and internal color sensor

[@svenbonne]

@@WaringRoboticsFTCFLL ah okay now i see....

[@leonardopichardo4847]

Hola, @WaringRoboticsFTCFLL quisiera saber como agregaron el neumatico a su diseño del robot en Studio 2.0

[@aarongsunil4066]

i wanted to know that which sensors are more important for the competitions

[@horsthartholz7879]

a down site of many connectors is the wigth, that can make the motors inacrurate

[@zhenliu8673]

What tire size do you use? Is it available in the education core or expansion set?

[@WaringRoboticsFTCFLL]

We use the 43.2mm D. x 18mm wheels. They aren't in any of the mindstorms sets, but here is the link to where you can order them on bricklink: Wheel: www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32020#T=C Tire: www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32019&name=Tire%2062.4mm%20D.%20x%2020mm&category=%5BTire%20&%20Tread%5D#T=C

[@TechMike]

Hello can you share the robot design please! Thank yuo

[@biancahulub4171]

Hey! I am a mentor for a beginner fll team. Your robot is amazing. We were wondering what kits you used/ where do you get all those cool parts from?

[@lionheartitude]

Wow I am making this .

[@FLL-HamerLegoBreakers_888]

And why don't you use a color sensor in the middle of the robot?Isn't it better to launch it as it is without recognizing the color of the apparel? 🤔

[@WaringRoboticsFTCFLL]

Fll-Team 888 Lego Breaker's The third sensor is useful because that way during a match all we have to do is put the attachment on the robot and press go, which can be as fast as 4 seconds in between when the robot comes into home and when we relaunch it. The robot can sense which attachment is on it and based on that information it knows which program to play when we press go

[@HexhamFoodCo]

Very solid advice

[@DeeDee-sj5rf]

How did you get so many blocks to make a cover for the robot

[@owen9573]

For the most part we just accumulated parts by ordering them throughout our history as a team, but when we needed lots of specific parts we ordered them through a website called bricklink, where you can choose the exact color and part that you want and order a lot of them. Hopefully that answers your question

[@rolandgaming6159]

i had designed 4 base robots. last had 19 pin width. I have passed to Estonia Finals and win the trophyes. The question: why you using a many half width pices in your robot design?

[@WaringRoboticsFTCFLL]

We use all of those half width pieces (I’m assuming you’re talking about the ones around the wheels) because the wheels that we use are a little bit more than 2 units across, so if we used full width pieces they would have to be one space further out or touching the wheel.

[@hamzaalkayyali5945]

hey i have a question why you make your medium motors run before putting your attachments does it make it easier to put attachments ?? and how to add it to a master code ??

[@miranda_victoria]

Hi guys, what you used to make the view of the robot clean and beautiful?

[@gabrielcruzati3717]

Great job guys! Just one question, why d'you use for the attachments those gray gears(both with the same size) instead the more usually black gears(one bigger than other)?

[@WaringRoboticsFTCFLL]

Gabriel Sousa Thanks for the question! The main reason that we use these gears is because the larger black gear would stick out over the front of the robot a little, which would make it difficult to build down the front of the robot. The extra strength that those gears would be nice, but we can change the gear ratios in other places and keeping the robot more compact was more important to us. Hope that answers your question!

[@WaringRoboticsFTCFLL]

Gabriel Sousa Actually I just looked it turns out there would’ve been enough space! As I said though we were able to use the gear ratios in our attachments to get the extra strength, and we developed a program that shakes the gears back and forth to help the grey gears mesh together

[@gabrielcruzati3717]

@@WaringRoboticsFTCFLL thanks, I got it, we tried to use those gears in the last season but we had to switch to the small black gears cause they just fit more easily than the gray one. Nice Idea to fix the problem just by making the gears turn

[@gabrielcruzati3717]

@@WaringRoboticsFTCFLL about your robot video, theres a lot of cuts and we can see that are some modules out of the tree, so don't really score the 680. You have the attachment to do it or it's just some old video?

[@WaringRoboticsFTCFLL]

Gabriel Sousa There are a couple of older videos in there just because we couldn’t film due to Coronavirus, and that’s also why there are cuts. We were planning on filming a continuous video but we went into quarantine before that could happen. As for the building units, we have 5 blue units, 3 white units, 3 tan units, and 3 red units in the tree, and then in each of the colored circles we have a matching unit with a sustainability upgrade. It would be less points if we put any of the remaining units in the tree because we would lose the color match and the sustainability upgrade points as well

Yes, we won our state tournament (both in robot game and overall) so we were invited to Worlds, but because of corona that didn’t happen

[@RS-le9oe]

Why does the base robot have a front color sensor? What is it used for?

[@pokeart5834]

Just a question. We are making a robot with studio 2.0 and we are questioning if the front half of your robot floating or touching the ground as we are following a design similar to yours and we can’t check structural integrity. So is the front half of your robot flat on the ground or floating

[@Krudum]

Thank you for a perfect video showing a lot of details in your design. The Studio visualisation reveals most of the internal construction. For a EV3 beginner like me it is nice introduction into EV3 robotics. (So far, I was building and programming mainly arduino based models.) I have one question. In your design, the robot is driven by a rear pair of wheels. In EV3-G programning environment this makes the model go backward when your program uses forward direction or forward speed. Inverting the direction by the Invert block seems to have no effect for Steering and Tank blocks. Do you have a trick how to solve it during programming so that you do not need to remember that backwards means forwards or minus speed values are needed to go ahead?

[@WaringRoboticsFTCFLL]

What we did was in our MyBlocks we have the inputted power multiplied by negative one before it is put into the power section of the move steering block.

[@jannouza9373]

@@WaringRoboticsFTCFLL Thanks. This is what also came to my mind. I wonder if the behaviour of the Invert block (with respect to the 2-motor blocks) is a bug,
