A LEGO Mindstorms construction for taking loops. Uses the same principle as a carabiner.

In the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor set there is only one color sensor. The original Gazon is build from LEGO Education SPIKE Prime where there are two light sensors. The idea behind this robot is to be able to build it from Robot Inventor and to use it during FIRST LEGO League competitions

This is an attachment that accomplishes a mission. But they all do. This attachment is special as it is a Glide pinless attachment. It teachers the principles of building attachments that could be easily glided onto the robot and allow for quick changes of different attachments. It is designed for the

Background

A space telescope is astonishing, but it can’t beat the accessibility and simplicity of a college or science museum observatory – that is, if you know how and where to point it.

Mission

Rotate the observatory to a precise direction.

Scores

• Get the pointer tip completely in orange, or partly covering either of orange’s end-borders: 20 OR
• Get the pointer tip completely in white: 18 OR
• Get the pointer tip completely in grey, or partly covering either of grey’s end-borders: 16
• Possible Scores: 0, 16, 18, 20

Scoring Requirements

• The result must be visible at the end of the match.

Background

Though spacecraft travel crazy-fast, even the shortest trips involve a lot of time for the traveller’s body away from labour and recreation, which is bad for the heart and lungs.

Mission

The robot needs to repeatedly move one or both of the exercise machine’s handle assemblies to make the pointer advance.

Scores

• Get the pointer tip completely in orange, or partly covering either of orange’s end-borders: 22 OR
• Get the pointer tip completely in white: 20 OR
• Get the pointer tip completely in grey, or partly covering either of grey’s end-borders: 18
• Possible scores: 0, 18, 20, 22

Scoring Requirements

• Advance the exercise machine’s pointer along its dial by moving one or both of the handle assemblies. > Only allowed method. Must be observed by the referee.
• Results must be visible at the end of the match.

Background

Solar panels in space are a great source of energy for a space station in the inner solar system, but since things in space are always moving, aiming the panels takes some thought.

Mission

Solar panels need to be angled toward or away from you, depending on strategy and conditions.

Scores

• Both solar panels are angled toward the same field: 22 (for both teams)

• Your solar panel is angled toward the other team’s field: 18

• Possible scores: 0, 18, 22, 40 as shown below and seen from above your north border, facing north.

“Your” solar panel is the one on your west end of the table.

Scoring Requirements

• Results must be visible at the end of the match.

Building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 active attachment for changing gears orientations. This is the second attachment from the series.

After the success of the original Gazon robot from LEGO Education SPIKE Prime, we've decided the build a similar robot, but from LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor 51515. Teams are participating in the FIRST LEGO League competition with a LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor set and we know it will be helpful. But this robot can not be build from a LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor 51515 as the set has only one Color sensor. We've build a version of the Gazon robot to address this specific limitation.

This is a pinless attachment built with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime parts and it demonstrates how to use pinless attachments. The goal of the attachment is to quickly place it on the robot without any pins. The attachment is used for pushing. Check out the courses below for more information how to use the attachment. The attachment is designed for Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions

These are 3D Building Instructions for the 3D Cinema mission model for the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE competition.

This is an attachment is designed for Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions. On a robot most of the time you place attachments on the front/side/top. These instructions show how to build an attachment that could be placed on the front of the robot. The idea is to demonstrate the principle and you can expand and build a more specific attachment for the mission that you are accomplishing. Check the courses in which this attachment is used for more information and tutorials on how to use it.

This is a carabiner attachment for taking loops. It is built with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime parts and it demonstrates how to successfully take loops. The goal of the attachment is to lock the loop after it catches it. The attachment is designed for Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions

The attachment is designed for Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions. There are other attachment that are designed for taking a loop and locking it so that it does not fall, but they are more complex. Search for 'Carabiner' at FLLCasts.com

Background

For rovers in other worlds, getting stuck is definitely not okay! Teams of rovers can help each other, but a lone rover needs to be very careful.

Mission

The robot or whatever agent-craft it sends out needs to cross the craters model completely, by driving directly over it. Not near it. Not around it.

Scores

• Robot or agent-craft crossed the craters model completely: 20
• Possible scores: 0, 20

Scoring Requirements

• All weight-bearing features of the crossing equipment must cross completely between the towers. > Only allowed method. Must be observed by the referee.
• The crossing must be from east to west, and make it completely past the flattened gate. > Only allowed method. Must be observed by the referee.

This is the forth type of an active geared attachment. "Active" means that is is power by a motor. "Geared" means that it uses gears. "Reusable" means that you can easily extend the attachment with additional parts - eg - you can reuse it. It shows a basic principle of how power is transferred between different axles that have different orientation in space - like when one of the axles is horizontal and the other is vertical. It's built with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime parts and could be used in competitions in robotics like FIRST LEGO League/World Robotics Olympiad and others. It's designed for Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions. Check the courses in which this attachment is used for more information and tutorials on how to use it.

This is an attachment that could be easily detached after a mission is accomplished. It's built with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime parts and it demonstrates an important principle for building attachments for robotics competitions like FIRST LEGO League/World Robotics Olympiad and others. You move with the robot, you complete the mission and you leave the attachment on the field when the mission is completed. In this way you save time when adding the attachment as it is most of the time pinless and takes a fraction of a second to put it. The attachment is designed for Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions.
