Building Instructions

This robot is a spin-off of the Useless machine built from LEGO Mindstorms EV3. This robots mission is to be the last to press the button it holds.

These are the official robot rules for the FIRST LEGO League Hydrodynamics 2017-2018 robot missions. 

Background

Our Lander doesn’t have working parachutes, thrusters, or cushions, but one important feature is realistic … it’s very fragile.

Mission

Get the lander to one of its targets intact, or at least get it to base.

Scores

• Move the lander to be intact, touching the mat, and completely in its target circle: 22 OR
• Move the lander to be intact, touching the mat, and completely in the northeast planet area: 20 OR
• Move both parts of the lander completely into the base: 16
• Possible scores: 0, 16, 20, 22

Scoring Requirements

• The result must be visible at the end of the match.
• The lander is “intact” if its parts are connected by at least two of its four tan location axles.

This WRO robot is designed to collect a lot of ping pong balls in its container. It's built with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 45544 and 45560 sets. These are the LEGO Educational sets. The robot has two chains that collect the balls and push them into the container attachment. This is one of the larges robots we've uploaded at FLLCasts yet. You could learn a lot by following the building instructions and paying attention to the details of how this robot is built. All the alignment, all the connections. Really beautiful.  

These are building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 demonstration model. In the tutorial, we are using it to demonstrate the working and relations of LEGO Gears.

Another example for a quick pinless attachment build with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robots.

A similar LEGO attachment the previous once, but this one is with a different gear ratio. Again using a frame, two axles and two gears you can change the direction of the motion.  

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

This is an attachment for the Kriket box robot. It demonstrates how to build attachments that glide over the robot, are pinless and could be quickly and easily replaced and changed with another attachment. This attachment also lifts. Quite cool. Quite cool.

Do you have a friend for a sleepover? This might be the perfect robot for you! It is a football gate, guarded by Fint, the goalkeeper robot. You can control him, by using the remote controller, that consists of two Touch Sensors. Take turns making penalty shots and have a blast with this awesome robot!

What we recommend:

• Using a big LEGO wheel from your set as a football ball.
• If you throw the wheel too fast for the robot to catch, increase the distance between the place you shoot the ball from and the robot.

Probably the simples trick for pinless attachments that we've found. It is a construction build in just three steps. Simple as that. But it has a lot of potential to teach you how to use pinless attachments. Pinless attachments are very useful during FIRST LEGO League and World Robot Olympiad competitions. 

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

This attachment accomplishes the Into Orbit Extraction mission from the FIRST LEGO League Into Orbit 2017-2018 competitions. The based of the robot is the SUV Competition Box Robot from LEGO Mindstorms EV3.

The program for this attachment is at https://www.fllcasts.com/programs/2hpdg9-fll-2018-attachment-to-accomplish-the-into-orbit-extraction-05-robot-game-missions-program.

This is the attachment of Team "Nightbeast", with which they solve M01 and M02 from FLL Into Orbit Challenge

It kind of looks like an Inuit. But it surely walks like one. Most of the time Inuit walk with special boots that allows them to walk on deep snow without getting stuck. This robot walks in the same way. It has large feet and it moves one after the other.
