LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3

During a competition a team of students had to build a robot that looks like a musician. This construction in front of the robot is a Trompet and it looks like Ane is playing some music. If you play music on the phone on the side it is really funny to watch it play.

This attachment is meant to be built on the robot Francesco 2. When the red connector for the transmission connects the two axles for the rear gear wheels, the differential locks and the motor starts evenly transferring its power to both wheels.

When the red connector for the transmission is pushed to the side, the differential unlocks and once again transfers its power to the wheel with least resistance.

You can see empty beams hovering over this attachment. They are there so you can attach a lever construction over it, to help with the locking and unlocking of the differential. Similar leaver can be seen in the robot Catapult.

This robot is for learning at home when you have time and energy. It is like having a motorcycle on your own - you spend a lot of time working on your motorcycle, you love it, it takes care, it takes patience. This robot has 300 steps in the building instructions. We've heard a lot of parents with students telling stories how their student could build anything from LEGO on their own. This motorcycle with a cart surely would be a challenge for them. Send us pictures when they are done.  

Join the course A robot a "day" keeps the questions awake where we will further discuss the motorcycles, how to build them and what tasks to accomplish with them.

Demo programs for this motorcycle are here.

Attachment frames are used on Base Robot Chassis to make it easier to add and remove attachments very fast. This frame is for the Box Robot 1. It is a single module build with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 parts and it could handle attachment on all sides.
