This is the initial construction of a catapult. The base on which we will place the rest of the robot. The goal of this construction is to give the catapult the ability to rotate.
Using a number of axles, beams and rubber bands we collect many loops at once. This is an important part of every competition, mostly of the FIRST LEGO League.

This module is used in Yolanda - LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Sailship robot.
What should you do as a teacher when the students are calculating the gear ratios and number of needed rotations?
Motors can be placed in opposite directions... opposite .. directions. Robo-builders might have difficulties imagining it so we have build one. One of the motors facing forward, the other backward. It is interesting how this robot turns.

This video tutorial contains a detailed explanation on how we accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2018-2019 Into Orbit mission called M05. EXTRACTION, but compared to one of the other tutorials about this mission, in this specific tutorial we are using Box Robot 1 and a multi-purpose attachment. The attachment is designed for two missions and one of the missions is the Extraction
