This means that the control programs for these robots are unsuitable for GyroBoy, and can only serve as an inspiration. The anatomies of the robots are also different from GyroBoy. This kit is an earlier generation of the EV3 kit and has a different computer and a bit different sensors. It uses a feedback control loop that continuously computes motor power based on the robots position and how much it tilts. The act of balancing the robot is very similar to that of balancing a Segway. Hence, they are not described further in this article. GyroBoy also makes use of a few other sensors and motors that do not take part in balancing the robot. The LEGO product number is Please note that there also exists a retail set with product number This set is somewhat cheaper, but it does not include the gyro sensor needed to keep the robot upright.īuilding instructions comes with the Core set. Are there parts list available for these projects.Figure 1: GyroBoy. We can only build them with these instructions. Does anyone know where to find the programming instructions for the Robots of the education pack? Building Instructions & Program Descriptions If may be a little confusin but it is manageable. It comes with all the programs to all of the listed builds. I built it and downloaded the mindstorms programmer to my computer. I had camp last week and I had a challenge to build this sorter. We have just introduced EV3 with our 8th graders and they are very interested in creating these robots. I too am interested in the project files for these robots. Would the additional gyro sensor do the trick, or is the edu-pack too different? Regards Glen. I would love to build Gyroboy, but I only have the standard EV3 set.
And I see some ideas to incorporate into some MOCs. Several of the models look like great fun to build. Advantage of the edu-set models is that they have space for the battery. Looking for the Expansion Set instructions? Click here. Happy building! Building Instructions & Program Descriptions
