This is the robot that we use to demonstrate a solution for the World Robot Olympiad 2021 Junior competition. This is a Post season solution. We never release any solutions during the season as this will have a negative impact on the competition.

We started with this robot and it has a few good ideas. It can collect two cars at the same time. We later decided to go for a more powerful robot. Check out WRO 2021 Junior: Slaimi - a post season WRO competition solution robot

This is the attachment to accomplish Fll 2019 M01 mission with the Whakatae. You can see how to attach the attachment to the robot in this tutorial.

This attachment for the Nautiq robot is designed for missions M13 Coral Reef, M12 Raise the Coral, and M09 Release the Shark from the FIRST LEGO League 2024-2025 SUBMERGED competition. It features a passive mechanical trigger that releases a lever powered by a rubber band. A passive curtain mechanism is included for collecting parts from the field. The attachment is optimized for quick and reliable mission execution without additional motors.

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

This is an attachment for accomplishing missions from FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWERED competition. We use this attachment additionally to another one that you can see the the lessons for this attachment. The goal is to execute the actions of Push and Collect, and this is the perfect passive attachment for this.

This is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot attachment for accomplishing the FIRST LEGO League 2020 Replay Pull-up bar mission . The attachment is designed for Gazon, LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot.

Introducing Kufar! In Bulgarian, Kufar means "suitcase," and just like a suitcase, this robot is easy to "pack" with different attachments for each task.

Unlike traditional box robots, Kufar is an "out-of-box" design, enabling fast, easy attachment swaps. This flexibility allows teams to build a new chassis with customized attachments for each run, making transitions quick but requiring more parts and careful handling due to its gear transmission, which can sometimes cause gear slippage or play.

To improve precision, Kufar’s gear transmission is optimized for lower speeds. Kufar also includes a color sensor to detect specific colored bricks on attachments and a force sensor to start corresponding programs. With two motors for movement and one for attachments, Kufar is compact, efficient, and easy to handle, especially with its sturdy top handle.

We thoroughly enjoyed exploring this innovative concept and hope you find it equally fun and inspiring!

A FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 attachment for the MiniBox Robot.

The offset beam creates a hook-like motion when rotating the gear, making "hooking" in loops an easy task.

This is a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot attachment for accomplishing the FIRST LEGO League 2020 Replay Boccia mission . The attachment is designed for Gazon, LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot.. With this attachment we follow the line with the robot until we reach the team mission and we use the lever on the top to push the blue box. Then we follow the line to reach the Boccia mission, and three things happen: 1. align to the mission model with the front of the attachment, 2. turn the lever to release the green boxes and 3. move the lever to push on the mission model. This is a complex mission requiring a lot of coordination from the robot. Quite interesting I must say.

I was looking around the house and thought, "This will be fun for the kids—let’s build a coffee machine." Little did I know just how fun it would be!

Built from the LEGO SPIKE Core Set 45678 and the LEGO SPIKE Expansion Set 45680, this coffee machine has a lid that can be opened and closed, and it's the perfect size for the hands of a 6–10-year-old child.

What my daughters did with it was have coffee with their other toys. They had fun building it, and found it especially exciting that the lid could open and close. As an engineer, I also took the opportunity to tell them a bit about the valve on the machine and why it's needed.

Best ~2 hours of play for this week!

Estimated weekly play time: ~2 hours in total.
