Building Instructions -

• FIRST LEGO League

This robot attachment in inspired by one of the most interesting missions we've seen at FIRST LEGO League competitions - the Manhole Cover (08th) Mission in FIRST LEGO League 2017-2018 . The attachment demonstrates how you could flip an object. It's built with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime parts and could be used in competitions in robotics like FIRST LEGO League/World Robotics Olympiad. 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 attachment have a guider mechanism that align the robot to the attachment. The attachment woks with SUV Box Robot.

Building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Ambulance Robot Attachment for the FIRST LEGO League 2013 Nature's Fury robotics competition.    The attachment grabs the ambulance car and slightly lifts it. The rubber bands help with triggering the attachment at the right time

Attachment part of a series of robot attachments for accomplishing the FIRST LEGO League 2013 competition. This specific construction lifts the two vehicles. It uses rubber bands for locking the levers. Take a look at the video tutorials for details explanation on how it works.

Build from LEGO Mindstorms EV3 parts.

Building instructions for the Pinless Rubber Band Attachment:

Background

Space is quiet and beautiful, but with almost no heat, air, nor air pressure, it could freeze, suffocate, and boil you all at once! Help our spacewalking astronaut “Gerhard” get to safety.

Mission

The robot needs to get Gerhard’s body into the airlock chamber.

Scores

• Astronaut completely in the habitation hub’s airlock chamber: 22 OR
• Astronaut partly in the habitation hub’s airlock chamber: 18
• Possible scores: 0, 18, 22

Scoring Requirements

• For this mission, the word “body” includes all parts except the loop.
• Results must be visible at the end of the match.

These are 3D Building Instructions for M03 Coral Nursery mission model for the FIRST LEGO League 2024-2025 SUBMERGED competition. This mission model does not have an alternative due to the specificity of the parts.

This is the first type of an active geared attachment. "Active" means that is is power by a motor. "Geared" means that it use 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.

Background

To live away from earth, it would help if we were good at detecting and mining resources under the surfaces of other planets, moons, asteroids, and even comets.

Mission

The robot needs to get all the core samples out of the core site model, then it has options for what to do with them as described here, and in mission M03.

Scores

• Move all four core samples so they are no longer touching the axle that held them in the core site model: 16
• Place the gas core sample so it is touching the mat, and completely in the lander’s target circle: 12 OR
• Place the gas core sample completely in base: 10
• Place the water core sample so it is supported only by the food growth chamber: 8
• Possible Scores: 0, 16, 24, 26, 28, 34, 36

Scoring Requirements

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

The Chain Monster is one of the coolest Box Robots that we've built. But what is a robot without attachments that can accomplish missions? These here are 3D building instructions demonstrating how the frame for the robot could be built. We've discussed frames in the Box Robots courses for EV3. Take a look at this one. See if it can inspire you to build robots and attachments in certain way to achieve consistent and reliable robot behavior.

With this attachment we complete the Elevator and Steel construction for the FIRST LEGO League 2019-2020 competition. The attachment is placed on the Whakatae - LEGO Education SPIKE Prime Competition Box robot

Interesting and useful attachment for dropping a LEGO human at a specific location. It uses a lever and a gear wheel. When the lever is pressed the wheel rotates.

The attachment is constructed from LEGO Mindstorms EV3 sets.

Background

It is amazingly expensive to send heavy stuff like construction material into space, so scientists and engineers are instead learning how to print what they need in space, using available extraterrestrial elements.

Mission

The robot needs to get a regolith core sample and place it into the 3D printer, which will cause the 2 × 4 brick to pop out. The ejected 2 × 4 brick can then be delivered elsewhere for more points.

Scores

• The 2 × 4 brick ejected and completely in the northeast planet area: 22 OR
• The 2 × 4 brick ejected and not completely in the northeast planet area: 18
• Possible scores: 0, 18, 22

Scoring Requirements

• Results must be visible at the end of the match.
• Eject the 2 × 4 brick by placing a regolith core sample into the 3D printer. > Only allowed method. Must be obserserved by the referee.

This LEGO attachment connects a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Motor with a LEGO Technic Linear Actuator. The connection is through a couple of gears which makes the whole instructions quite interesting and useful as an example. 

The attachment was used during FIRST LEGO League 2014 Robotics competition.

This attachment is accomplishing three missions from the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023. It is for the Chain Monster robot

With this LEGO Education SPIKE Prime attachment we accomplish the basketball mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay competition. The goal of the mission is to put the ball into the basket and to have the basket up at the end of the round. This is a complex attachment. It uses gear wheels and warm gears to transfer the power from the motor to the top of the attachment. At the top of the attachment there is a wheel with a rope. The rope is build with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime parts. If you have the chance, use a different LEGO rope, but if you don't that this one will be ok.

These are building instructions for one of the greatest LEGO Mindstorms attachments that we've built. Super simple and easy to follow and at the end, you have an attachment with a rubber band that controls a lever and that could lift objects from the field. It could lift them up. Also because it is with a rubber band you don't need a motor and you could use the motor for other attachments. 

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