We needed to make many modifications to the robot design to build with the pieces available with our set. This uses many components that are not available in our LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Home Edition. The second and bigger challenge is that Ice’s Giant was design using the Lego Mindstorm Ev3 Education Set. There is a set of close up photos available that is somewhat helpful and there is an auto-generated instruction set from Lego Digital Designer, but these are not very useful. The first challenge that prevented us from using this robot is that there are no good building instructions available. The legs are very stable so that the robot walks well without falling over. I like the basic concept for this robot – it uses the two large motors for the legs and the small motor to control the arms. I wrote about this robot in an earlier post about our favorite Lego Mindstorms EV3 Robots. The inspiration from the robot design came from one of our favorite EV3 robots on Youtube, Ice’s Giant. The Robot Construction Dancing Robot Build Instructions For our other Lego Mindstorms EV3 projects, check out our LEGO Mindstorms Music Box, LEGO Mindstorms Booby Trap, LEGO Mindstorms Basketball Robot or our Speedcuber Alarm Clock. Interested in seeing how this was all put together and trying this project at home? I’ll describe the different phases of the project in more detail below. Programming a robot to make specific movements in a set order seemed like a great way for them to get an immediate visual reward for their efforts.įirst, watch the video below to see the robot in action and then read beyond if you want to see more details on how it was all done.
DANCING ROBOT SERIES
I thought this would be a great exercise in computer programming for the kids because a computer program is just a sequence of instructions, and a dance routine is a series of movements.
This week our family project with the kids was to build and program a Lego Mindstorms Dancing Robot. This allows the robot to adjust speed to songs played on Alexa devices.) (Update : New video and instructions for adding Alexa voice control to the robot.
