Magazzino from italian means warehouse.
This robot is made to drag and hold on objects. It uses two Large motors to move around and one medium motor for a grabber. The grabber is at the front of the robot and consists of two "hands" that are each connected to two gears, which connect to the medium motor allowing them to function like a grabber.
In all building instructions for LEGO robots it is important to have the motors attached to the brick in more than one place. In the following construction, there is a beam connecting the two motors which has exactly this purpose. It makes the construction much more stable. Try removing this beam for example and see what will happen. Would the robot be able to move?
Many different types of wheels could be used. Both NXT and EV3 or from other LEGO technic series.
In Episode 58 we introduced you to a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Modular robot. In this tutorial, we show you how we reached that construction. We start from a construction found on the Internet and take you through the process of examining and improving it, till we reach a more stable and reliable robot.
We will cover the typical reasons why your robot is not moving at all.
This LEGO Mindstorms robot base is small, compact and packed in a very small volume. The goal of this constructions is to be used as a base and to show yet another way to experiment with adding motors to the brick.

This was an idea. You would we demonstration a multi-axle power and rotation transmitting box. Well, here it is. Build it. Start it. And see how the power from the motor is transmitted through different axles. The lever will demonstrate it.
