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.

Background

Soon after a launch, rocket engines often separate away from spacecraft by design, but that’s long before the spacecraft leaves the pull of gravity. So why doesn’t the spacecraft fall back to earth?

Mission

The robot needs to impact the strike pad hard enough to keep the spacecraft from dropping back down.

Scores

• Get the spacecraft to go so fast and high that it stays up, by pressing/hitting the strike pad: 24
• Possible scores: 0, 24

Scoring Requirements

• The result must be visible at the end of the match.
• Activate the spacecraft by pressing/hitting the strike pad. > Only allowed method. Must be observed by the referee.

The Rollie robot is a compact, box-shaped robot built entirely using LEGO Spike Prime components. It incorporates six Technic Gear 28-Tooth Double Bevel gears, even though the standard Spike Prime set includes only five. If you don't have a spare gear, you can substitute the two front gears with a Technic Connector Circular with 2 Pin Holes and 3 Axle Holes, or any other compatible gear available in the set. Rollie is engineered with a minimalist design approach, using a limited number of parts from both the base set and the expansion pack, making it efficient and easy to rebuild.

This attachment was intended for and tested on the Gazon, LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot. It is meant to help the robot complete the 3rd mission of the FLL Cargo Connect competition.

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.

Building instruction for the power switch mission model. The model is used in the Power supply mission of FLLCasts Off-season Challenge 2019.

 

This is a simple chassis that uses two motors to control the robot and two omni wheels at the back for greater maneuverability.

This is a disk image containing a Raspbian OS. The image is modified and set up specifically for the Perfect course. It contains all the needed files, libraries and additional tools that we would use in the course. The file is quite large so be prepared to wait some time while downloading.

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

We use this attachment to demonstrate the principle of an active attachment. This is an attachment activated from the motor. It has one level attached to it. It could be reused. The attachment transfers power from the motor to the end of the lever and we can accomplish missions like the Power Switch mission from the FLLCasts Off-season mission models.

This is the attachment to accomplish Fll 2019 M06 mission with the Whakatae. You can see how to attach the attachment to the robot in this tutorial to do.

It also accomplish Fll 2019 M06 mission.
