Awesome YouTube FLL Tutorials

If you’re an (aspiring) FLL participant or just someone who wants to learn some cool new programming tricks with their EV3, you may be interested in Kyle Markland, a.k.a. Builderdude35’s YouTube channel.  He’s made a whole bunch of very useful videos.  Here are two of them:

There are many more:

• EV3 Robot Design: Building your FLL Robot
• EV3 Robot Design: Dog Gears for an FLL Robot  (which I had mistakenly misheard as “Dog Ears”)
• EV3 Robot Design: Choosing the Right Wheels for an FLL Robot
• EV3 Programming Tutorial: Aligning an FLL Robot W/ Color Sensor (Part 3)

He also made some other programming tutorials:

• EV3 Programming Tutorial: Car Steering System: Part 1 of 4: Steering Centering
• EV3 Programming Tutorial: Car Steering System: Part 2 of 4: Return to Center
• EV3 Programming Tutorial: Car Steering System: Part 3 of 4: Right and Left Steer
• EV3 Programming Tutorial: Car Steering System: Part 4 of 4: Implementing MyBlocks Into an RC Program

I am sure we’ll be seeing many more in the future; he seems to be really getting the hang of these.  Oh, be sure to check out some of his other MINDSTORMS videos on that channel, they’re great.

Just to show that great minds really do think alike, Hunter Chiou posted his article about Kyle’s channel just a few minutes before I was going to hit the publish button.  You can find his article right here.
