Building Instructions

If you take a look at the videos for this attachment you will see a nice idea on taking the track and the ambulance. These two vehicles from the FIRST LEGO League 2013 competition had to be collected and returned back to base.

Built from LEGO Mindstorms EV3 parts.

This is the chassis for the popular FTC Push Bot. The robot is built with the Tetrix set and uses two motors. When preparing for a FIRST Technical Challenge competition (FTC) it is very useful to have a chassis from which you could start working. It might not, and will surely not be the final robot, but a good base is always useful. 

With this chassis, we've also made a short course of how to control it. Take a look at FIRST Technical Challenge. Basic GamePads, control and attachments for the Tetrix set.

Simple VEX IQ competition base with a lot of space for attachments and gravity center in the backside of the robot.

A very simple base of the robot that could be used for adding attachments.

Advanced LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Construction. It has two rear motors and it could rotate the whole from part. It has 4 wheels and is kind of like unique in the Mindstorms world.

Building instructions are not very easy and you need LEGO Education Core and Extension Sets - 45544 and 45560. 

Apart from being advanced, it is also quite fun to try to build.

It's a VEX IQ robot base with all VEX IQ Sensors. The robot has 1 x Gyro, 1 x Ultrasonic, 1x Color Sensor, 2 x Toch Sensors, 1 x Touch Led Sensor.

This are the building instructions for a mechanism, collecting cubes. It is designed as an attachment for VEX Robot Base 5 and can be used to solve the VEX IQ Challenge High rise 2014-2015.

It's the second version of the Robot Base 4, but with rotated inside motor.

Building instructions for the LEGO Mindstorms robot attachment used at the FIRST LEGO League Natures Fury Competition. This robot attachment takes two of the building and moves them without demolishing them. It is a good example of the use of gear wheels and worm gear. The gear wheels move levers in opposite directions.

Building instructions for Tower Trunk. The trunk is designed to store cubes and then drop them on a desired spot. It can be used alongside Cube Collector 2 as an attachment for VEX Robot Base 1.

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.
