Building Instructions

This is the robot that we use to demonstrate a solution for 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. But after the competition we try to make a review and to see how we could have accomplish it. Our goal is to be better for next year.

This robot is quite powerful. The attachment mechanism on the front is one of a kind as it can do several things with a single motor: it can lift, it can unlock, it can grab. All of this thanks to the unique mechanism of gears

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 a pinless attachment for a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot that uses the Ultrasonic sensor. The attachment could be placed on top of the robot. As it is pinless, it is easy to quickly place and remove it.

This is a version of the Gazon robot that has a single color sensor and is useful for cases where you still have not purchased a second color sensor, but need to start working on the FLL competition season missions

This is a light shield over the color sensor. Covered from the light the color sensor is much more precise.

This is a distance sensor attachment for Gazon 2.0, a LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor robot with a single sensor. This attachment is place on the robot whenever we want to work with the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor Distance Sensor.

This incredibly compact SPIKE Prime Box Robot is made for competitions like FIRST LEGO League (FLL) and World Robotics Olympiad (WRO). Whakatae (from Maori's word "whakataetae", which means "competitive") is long 17 LEGO units and is with a width of 15 LEGO units. In front of the wheels it has two color sensors which it uses to align. Whakatae also has two Large motors for moving and has two medium motors for attachments!

It's has "V2" in its name, because it's the second version of Whakatae - LEGO Education SPIKE Prime Competition Box robot. The difference between the two is that the first one can be built with only a Large Motor and a Color sensor in addition to the Base set, while this one needs an additional ball bearing. This provides this robot with a lot more stability and can be seen as a true upgrade to the first version.

This is a distance sensor attachment for Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions. This attachment is place on the robot whenever we want to work with the LEGO Education SPIKE Prime Distance Sensor.

Motorka, from Czech, means "motorbike".

Motorka is a motorbike-style robot with three wheels: two at the back and one at the front for steering. The rear wheels are powered by two medium motors, while the front steering wheel is driven by a large motor.

The robot uses various parts from the SPIKE Prime base set to resemble a real motorbike. For example, at the front it has a color sensor that serves as the headlight!

Pallo, from Ancient Greek, means "to throw" or "to hurl"—a root of the modern word "catapult".

Pallo is a robot made of two parts. The first part is the catapult! It contains no electronic components and uses two rubber bands to launch a projectile toward the second part. The second part is the target. It features a color sensor which, using a piston with differently colored sections, detects how accurately the target has been hit. Good luck with the shooting!

Calix comes from Latin, meaning cup.

Calix is a robot designed to carry small objects—like a cup—while autonomously following a black line. When most people think about robotics, they imagine machines helping with household chores. Calix is a simple example of that vision brought to life. You can place a cup on it in the kitchen, and it will deliver the cup to the end of the black line!

The robot is powered by two SPIKE Prime medium motors for movement, and it uses a color sensor to follow the line precisely. At the front, a large motor connected to a gear system lifts and lowers the cup, allowing for easy pickup and delivery.

Calix is an elegant demonstration of how even simple robots can be designed to perform useful tasks—making robotics more approachable and practical for everyday life.

Tohuru, from Māori, means owl.

Tohuru is a SPIKE Prime robot that grips onto an edge and scans for the nearest object! It uses two Medium Motors to hold onto an edge between its wheels. Its head—made from an Ultrasonic Sensor—is mounted on a Large Motor, allowing it to rotate a full 360 degrees. And most importantly, it looks just like an owl!

Big Wheelster, as the name suggests, is a robot with a big wheel! The large wheel is built using SPIKE Prime baseplates. The robot also features an interesting steering mechanism. At the front, we’ve added a touch sensor to detect obstacles—and hopefully avoid them!

The Swing Game is a SPIKE Prime robot designed as a two-player game. The goal is for both LEGO figures to reach the center of the swing without tipping it over to either side. Each LEGO figure is mounted on a motor connected to a Technic gear rack, allowing it to move along the swing. The motors are controlled separately—one by a color sensor and the other by a Large Motor. If one player moves too far ahead without the other keeping up, the swing will tip... and it’s game over! Good luck, and have fun!
