These are building instructions for Workshop Crane with LEGO WeDo 2.0

After the success of the original Gazon robot from LEGO Education SPIKE Prime, we've decided the build a similar robot, but from LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor 51515. Teams are participating in the FIRST LEGO League competition with a LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor set and we know it will be helpful. But this robot can not be build from a LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor 51515 as the set has only one Color sensor. We've build a version of the Gazon robot to address this specific limitation.

This is a garbage container—and it’s fun! Like most real garbage containers, it has only three wheels because one is missing. You’ll also notice that one of the wheels is slightly different and tilted to the side—just like the real thing.

The container is great for play and for storing small items inside.

Suitable for children aged 6–10. Build the garbage container and leave it out for a week—children will naturally engage with it and are likely to spend at least an hour playing with it over the course of the week.

This module is meant to be used in EV3 Kinesthetic and Memory Game and is attached to the base of the robot. This module uses the ultrasonic sensor to detect the hands of the player. Attention must be paid to where the module is attached since it can be activated by accident if the player reaches for another module over this one.

Cody is a robot, designed to move in a straight line. It has a single motor, rotating two wheels. Behind the motor, Cody holds a Color Sensor. These two combined could be programmed to work as a barcode reader, measuring the length of any color beneath the robot.

This is a vehicle that is used to help you to learn programming, to experiment with addons, attachments and constructions. It has a frame. Which is nice. A frame is always nice. 

It has two wheels at the back, but this is needed only if you have them.

An awesome ski-jet robot, steering with a medium motor and powered by a single large motor. It also has a pair of inclined treads, making it especially well-suited for the harsh winter terrain.

*There is a mistake in this robot you will have to find. How would you make it work?

Building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Motorcycle, but this time with helper wheels. The helper wheels solve the problem of making turns with the robot. If the robot loses balance it will fall. The goal of the helper wheels is to make it easier for the robot to turn. Small modification, but really make a difference. 

This is a pinless attachment built with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime parts and it demonstrates how to use pinless attachments. The goal of the attachment is to quickly place it on the robot without any pins. The attachment is used for pushing. Check out the courses below for more information how to use the attachment. The attachment is designed for Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions

Value was inspired by the spy vehicle robot. This little robot was built to measure the volume of the room he's in.

Background

A space telescope is astonishing, but it can’t beat the accessibility and simplicity of a college or science museum observatory – that is, if you know how and where to point it.

Mission

Rotate the observatory to a precise direction.

Scores

• Get the pointer tip completely in orange, or partly covering either of orange’s end-borders: 20 OR
• Get the pointer tip completely in white: 18 OR
• Get the pointer tip completely in grey, or partly covering either of grey’s end-borders: 16
• Possible Scores: 0, 16, 18, 20

Scoring Requirements

• The result must be visible at the end of the match.

This is version 2 of the LEGO Mindstorms Grabber. It makes use of 4 gears to make both levers active.  

Background

Though spacecraft travel crazy-fast, even the shortest trips involve a lot of time for the traveller’s body away from labour and recreation, which is bad for the heart and lungs.

Mission

The robot needs to repeatedly move one or both of the exercise machine’s handle assemblies to make the pointer advance.

Scores

• Get the pointer tip completely in orange, or partly covering either of orange’s end-borders: 22 OR
• Get the pointer tip completely in white: 20 OR
• Get the pointer tip completely in grey, or partly covering either of grey’s end-borders: 18
• Possible scores: 0, 18, 20, 22

Scoring Requirements

• Advance the exercise machine’s pointer along its dial by moving one or both of the handle assemblies. > Only allowed method. Must be observed by the referee.
• Results must be visible at the end of the match.

Varasto from Finnish means warehouse.

This is a simple warehouse robot made to hold and drag 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 double angular lift-arms that are each connected to a gear, which allows them to function like a grabber.

Chronos means time in Greek.

What's the time? Time to build a cool robot! This robot is made to look like a clock. The two hands are each connected to a motor and are positioned between the two motors. This makes it simple to build, while also being effective in showing how a clock works.

An example program moving the seconds and minutes hands of the clock can be found here.

An example program designed to teach children to read the clock can be found here.

This module is meant to be used in EV3 Kinesthetic and Memory Game and is attached to the base of the robot. This module uses the rotation sensor in the medium motor to detect how much the players had turned its wheel.

Building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 active attachment for changing gears orientations. This is the second attachment from the series.

This is a carabiner attachment for taking loops. It is built with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime parts and it demonstrates how to successfully take loops. The goal of the attachment is to lock the loop after it catches it. The attachment is designed for Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions
