Anyone know how this MINDSTORMS robot (pictures in the link) can be modified for increased stability for the task? Right now the book is too heavy for the motors. It was moving very slowly. That's probably because of the gears, right? Could one solution be to swap the place of the 40-tooth gear and the 8-tooth gear, so that the 8-tooth one is connected to the motor? Because we'd then be using a gear ratio of 8/40 = 1/5, giving us a much stronger torque. Maybe if I swap the gears so that the small gear is driving the large gear? That thing will then be able to move mountains (but slowly), or experiment with different gears other than the 8t and 40t. 8:40 is one of the most extreme ratios one could choose in technic, possibly there are many alternatives available to us by choosing different gears. http://gears.sariel.pl/

Hello, I was curious if someone could help me with a task. My teacher told me that this was my task for the EV3 robot: This is the task that I was assigned for the project that I am doing with my group, and I have no past experience coding before, but the rest of the group does, so I am in a difficult position. I would like some help from any of you guys. Could someone give me their tips and estimation of how difficult my task will be, and links and other useful stuff to know? I don't want to disappoint my group and give them more stuff to do. Below you will find the entire project task, just to give you an overview of what should be done. The project task is to build a Lego robot that will deliver a book. The robot will be driving in a corridor. The width of the corridor is at least 1.2 m and at most 12 m. The walls are mainly smooth, but there may be electrical outlets, glazed areas, skirting boards and other things that cause the width to vary. However, the width is always within the given minimum and maximum dimensions. The robot must start approx. 0.3 m from a wall in a corridor in a random direction (i.e. in a direction that you do not get to choose yourself). The robot must be able to carry out four different tasks with the following specifications: Deliver a package to a location 2m to the right along the wall, 0 - 0.3m from the wall. Deliver a package to a location 2m to the left along the wall, 0 - 0.3m from the wall. Deliver a package to a location 2m to the right, across the corridor, 0 - 0.3m from the wall on the other side of the corridor. Deliver a package to a location 2m to the left, across the corridor, 0 - 0.3m from the wall on the other side of the corridor. This picture shows the assignment in an overview (in Swedish). After completed delivery, the robot should return to the starting location, so that the robot is ready for the next delivery. Just before each new mission starts, someone from the project group gets to place the package on the robot. The package then follows the robot to the right destination according to the mission. At the destination, the robot must unload the package and leave it on the floor.
