We took a similar approach, we didn't use many attachment which helped us time wise. This really shows that teams don't have to use great big robots to do missions.
You are extremely good with positioning and maneuvering between mission models. What a great motivator to show teams they don't need complex attachments.
Do you know if you have to go back to the 1/4 circle to be considered in "home base" in order not to get penalized or just off the side of the mat like you did in a few of them?
That would be completely up to you and your team. Just make sure that your jig isn't in the launching area when your robot launches. You can use it, then move it before you launch. Good luck!!
Thank you for the video! Dad supporting a team, and seeing each mission complete was helpful. What is the best method for setting the robot position in the start zone so that you are on the mark at the start of a mission?
Way to go Dad Gary!!! I usually will pick a spot like a square where my robot's ball bearing will go into. Or line up the robot to go straight down the black line. It depends on the direction I'm heading.
Really helpful video! I've found that when my students program the ev3 without line following and instead set predetermined movements (go straight X rotations, turn Y degrees, etc) the robot's behavior is not consistent enough to be able to pass even some of the simplest missions. The ev3 always ends up in a slightly different place even though the code is the same and we do our best to keep the starting position exactly the same as well. Any tips? Is it foolish to try to solve the missions with minimal sensor input?
Fantastic question and one that every FLL team deals with. Yes, that is such a huge frustration because one day the team is totally happy that all the programs work and then the next day everything is off. The goal of FLL is for the teams to use sensors to help make the missions more reliable and accurate. However, it depends on your team. If they are just starting out and don't feel comfortable using sensors, I'd say let them go without. My team didn't wanna use a sensor until missions starting going badly. Then they used a gyro sensor and made them more accuate. I wished they had used a color sensor because this year's mat made it real easy to get the truck, bridge, and food package points by following that line.
You're welcome Dave!! If you have any other FLL questions, let me know so I can make a video to help out you and others. I can also answer questions on here in the comments.
Thanks for the video. In your video, you do one mission at a time. Do you see any opportunities to bundle 2 or 3 missions together in a single run? For example, if you have a certain attachment, could you 2 or 3 missions in a row that require the same attachment or sensor? We've broken our team into 3 sub-teams and want to focus each subteam on separate missions. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Hey Richard!! Yeah...check out some of my other videos. I have done a combination video just today. Here's another one. ruclips.net/video/cXgdHkd9n_A/видео.html I've also done a combination line following video also. Thanks for the reply!! ruclips.net/video/WHCjO0RV01o/видео.html
Thank you so much for sharing this information for missions. I am a big fan of you always getting motivation to do more programming as I am new to this field and this time my team is going to participate for the first time and this video is so helpful. its really helpful just give some missions programming as well so I can guide my team. looking forward for your help a big thank you:)
Thank you very much, this is very useful, but can you publish the programming of how the robot withdraws a box, please? I need it very soon. Please, respond to my comment quickly.😊❤
Just checking on one portion of the video I'm noticing. Most of your runs go through the 1/4 circle to finish, then into the back area. Does it have to go through the 1/4 circle before passing into the back area, or is the idea just that it ends in the back area and doesn't matter if it passes through the 1/4 circle? Thanks! and awesome video!
Thanks Russell!! I copied this from the rulebook: • After any launch, the robot needs to return completely into home if you want to handle it without losing a precision token. So the 1/4 circle is the launching area but needs to return to Home before you can touch the robot. I hope that helps.
Hello @@LEGORoboticsMrHino I think the home area is defined as the western black rectangle plus the launch area, which is the 1/4 circle. This is detailed in R13. I believe that would give you more liberty in returning the robot. Otherwise, thank you for your videos. I was looking for simple designs to get inspired from for PBL activities and it was quite helpful.
hello mr.hino I have a favor to ask if that’s okay me and my team and my teacher are all new to Lego robots and we have been struggling on how to do the hand (I think that’s what it’s called) for the cargo Connect and our competition is in 2 months and we barely did anything can you please do a video on how to do it? if that’s okay
Thanks Mr. Hino for this videos, definitely helpful for a first time Mom to be Robotics coach. So, in one trip, suppose our robot is finishing multiple missions, for example after transportation mission is done, when it is going to do engine flip, can team members remove those plane and truck from the table just to make room for the robot? Or is it not allowed to touch or move any stuff in the middle of robot mission completion on table?
You are most welcome!! You are correct in saying that team members are not allowed to touch anything on the field. Best wishes and let me know if you have any other questions.
Here's the link that has the instructions. Scroll down to Medium Motor Attachment. education.lego.com/en-us/product-resources/mindstorms-ev3/downloads/building-instructions#program-expansion
Some suggestions would be to find a spot in the launching area to line up your robot. Use a line following program. If you can afford it, use new motors. Possibly use a guide in the launching area as long as you remove it before you launch robot.
Do you mean those 6 pieces? They are out in Home and one of the technicians needs to fill them into the hinged container for the 30 points. 20 points if the lid doesn't close.
So I see you are not using line follower code, I’m curious are you going by wheel rotations or measuring? How do you ensure your wheels are in alignment?
I'm just starting to program my robot to do this mission so i can get some decent points, but i got sick and now i have to be ready by January 22nd any points or tricks on how to get the programing successfully to do the missions for the competition for the kids. I have a robot just like your from the previous competitions in the past which i wasn't involved. I'm new in all of these hopefully you can help me out
@@LEGORoboticsMrHino I'm using the Lego Ev3 mindstorm software, and i have no idea where to start. Its just been chaotic getting this going, between me being sick and the students in sports. and now i just got back to it. I just don't know where to begin in a short period of time. and your videos and robot is awesome. I just told my student with all the circumstances that are coming up we may not win or not fully get points and they understand.
Very good video!!11!!!
Thanks!
This video shows how you don't need a big and complicated robot that takes a ton of time to build. Simple and efficient attachments is all you need.
Amen!!! Keep it simple!!
We took a similar approach, we didn't use many attachment which helped us time wise. This really shows that teams don't have to use great big robots to do missions.
Well said! Sometimes simple is better!
You are extremely good with positioning and maneuvering between mission models. What a great motivator to show teams they don't need complex attachments.
Thank you Michele!!!
This is my favourite video on RUclips
Thank you so much!!
Do you know if you have to go back to the 1/4 circle to be considered in "home base" in order not to get penalized or just off the side of the mat like you did in a few of them?
Hey Sherri!! The robot needs to back to home, off the mat.
Thanks for this video! Really helped improve my team’s missions!
Also a question. Do you suggest any type of jig?
Glad it helped Katie!!!
That would be completely up to you and your team. Just make sure that your jig isn't in the launching area when your robot launches. You can use it, then move it before you launch. Good luck!!

Cómo le haces para que no tenga variaciones en los movimientos y que lo haga exactamente
No hice todas estas misiones con una toma de video perfecta. En algunas de estas misiones, tuve que rehacer el video hasta que quedó bien.
Thank you for posting this. It is a great inspiration for a rookie FLL coach like me!

Thanks Mr. Hino. We're starting a team this year at Andrew Hunter ES in Barrie, ON this year. Your video is very helpful for us! Well done!
So good to hear James!!! Let me know if you need any info or help!! Best wishes!!!

You are so welcome!
Do your students use the color sensor to follow lines to get to these missions?
Hey Donna...I don't require them if that's what you're asking. I give them my recommendations and let them decide what they want to use.
Awesome!!!
For accident avoidance, it said the robot had to be over the blue line. Does the attachment count as the robot?
If the attachment is connected to your robot, I would say yes. It's probably a good idea to get confirmation from the ref in your practice round.
@@LEGORoboticsMrHino Thank you for letting me know!
This is very helpful. You are doing a great job for the FLL community
I appreciate that!

Hi!!! Thank you very much for this great video. I have one question for you. They way robot moves on the field is with sensors or without ?
In this video, it was without. Next week, I have a video with a color sensor.
hello mr.hino I have a favor to ask if that’s okay me and my team and my teacher are all new to Lego robots and we have been struggling on how to do the hand (I think that’s what it’s called) for the cargo Connect and our competition is in 2 months and we barely did anything can you please do a video on how to do it? if that’s okay
I'm not sure what the hand is to answer that question.
@@LEGORoboticsMrHino I am sorry I really don’t know what’s it called the one you use to left stuff with

Hello, do you have a video to know how to build that attachment
Here's the link that has the instructions. Scroll down to Medium Motor Attachment. education.lego.com/en-us/product-resources/mindstorms-ev3/downloads/building-instructions#program-expansion
It must be a very good free time activity, Im inspired by you and I hope I can do as good as you do did do and will do
Hi there! What would you suggest for consistency of the robot?
Some suggestions would be to find a spot in the launching area to line up your robot. Use a line following program. If you can afford it, use new motors. Possibly use a guide in the launching area as long as you remove it before you launch robot.
Cooler than ever!
Are you using line following because it seems like it
Not in this video. I did do a video with a line follow program. Here it is: ruclips.net/video/WHCjO0RV01o/видео.html&ab_channel=LEGORoboticsMr.Hino
On mission 2, are the boxes in the blue box or out?
Do you mean those 6 pieces? They are out in Home and one of the technicians needs to fill them into the hinged container for the 30 points. 20 points if the lid doesn't close.
Ooohh ok I get it now thanks
This is a super cool vid. Im gonna show it to the rest of my team
Hey Mr. Nino it’s me JJ from your class 5th period
Hey JJ!!
Your videos are very helpful. Which app do you use for programming?
I'm using EV3 Programming...thanks!!
So I see you are not using line follower code, I’m curious are you going by wheel rotations or measuring? How do you ensure your wheels are in alignment?
Not for this video. However, I just uploaded one on Monday that used a line follow program.
I'm just starting to program my robot to do this mission so i can get some decent points, but i got sick and now i have to be ready by January 22nd any points or tricks on how to get the programing successfully to do the missions for the competition for the kids.

Do you know what your kids might do in the sorting center if the Orange is not placed where the kids programmed the robot to go
What is reliability of windmill blade drop? =)
