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!

These are 3D Building Instructions for the 3D Cinema mission model for the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE competition.

This is an attachment is designed for Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions. On a robot most of the time you place attachments on the front/side/top. These instructions show how to build an attachment that could be placed on the front of the robot. The idea is to demonstrate the principle and you can expand and build a more specific attachment for the mission that you are accomplishing. Check the courses in which this attachment is used for more information and tutorials on how to use it.

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 color sensor to detect the colors on its wheel.

Dwell is a car built with a LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 set. It uses the medium motor for powering the back wheel and one more medium motor for rotating the front wheels and thus turning. Of course, there is a differential at the back.  

These are instructions on how to build the:

for the FIRST LEGO League 2019-2020 City Shaper Challenge.

Building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot base. The attachment of the motors is quite interesting. We follow the angles of LEGO technic to attach them. This construction has some difficulties turning to the left and to the right. But if you have to take on an obstacle that high this is one of the options. 

You can use all kinds of wheels on this robot - EV3, NXT or others. It doesn't actually matter.

This is an pinless robot attachment designed for taking loops. It's built with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime parts and it demonstrates how to collect a loop while moving with the robot. The attachment is designed for Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions. There are other attachment that are designed for taking a loop and locking it so that it does not fall, but they are more complex. Search for 'Carabiner' at FLLCasts.com

Winter might be far away or it might just be coming - depending of course on where you are in the world. But you can always spend a few hours having fun with a LEGO Mindstorms Snowmobile. A really challenging construction that requires good preparation, concentration and a lot of efforts to complete. Same is going to the mountain in the winter. But the reward at the end is worth it. 

This is the forth type of an active geared attachment. "Active" means that is is power by a motor. "Geared" means that it uses gears. "Reusable" means that you can easily extend the attachment with additional parts - eg - you can reuse it. It shows a basic principle of how power is transferred between different axles that have different orientation in space - like when one of the axles is horizontal and the other is vertical. It's built with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime parts and could be used in competitions in robotics like FIRST LEGO League/World Robotics Olympiad and others. It's designed for Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions.

These are building instructions for Overload Centrifuge training machine built with LEGO WeDo 2.0

This a the Dinore3x, the predecessor of the mighty Triceratops. This is one of the classic EV3 robots provided by LEGO. 

This robot extends the Tetrix Box Robot chassis for FTC competitions with an additional arm. The arm could be used for lifting and placing objects and could be quite useful. 

There is a special rubber band at the end of the arm, because there are not enough parts in the Tetrix set and we had to use a rubber band. But the principle of the arm is interesting, useful and you should be familiar with it - the arm keeps the motors always in the right orientation.   

This LEGO Mindstorms Attachment has three gears, one frame and two axles. The goal of the attachment is to use the gears to change the direction in which the motion is transferred.  

The Chain Monster is one of the coolest Box Robots that we've built. But what is a robot without attachments that can accomplish missions? These here are 3D building instructions demonstrating how the frame for the robot could be built. We've discussed frames in the Box Robots courses for EV3. Take a look at this one. See if it can inspire you to build robots and attachments in certain way to achieve consistent and reliable robot behavior.

This robot attachment in inspired by one of the most interesting missions we've seen at FIRST LEGO League competitions - the Manhole Cover (08th) Mission in FIRST LEGO League 2017-2018 . The attachment demonstrates how you could flip an object. It's built with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime parts and could be used in competitions in robotics like FIRST LEGO League/World Robotics Olympiad. It's designed for Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions. Check the courses in which this attachment is used for more information and tutorials on how to use it.

This is an attachment that could be easily detached after a mission is accomplished. It's built with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime parts and it demonstrates an important principle for building attachments for robotics competitions like FIRST LEGO League/World Robotics Olympiad and others. You move with the robot, you complete the mission and you leave the attachment on the field when the mission is completed. In this way you save time when adding the attachment as it is most of the time pinless and takes a fraction of a second to put it. The attachment is designed for Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions. Check the courses in which this attachment is used for more information and tutorials on how to use it.

A hand-driven Ferris wheel for a cascade scene—something like the famous Ferris wheel moment from the movie Le Boulet.

Or imagine a story where... a chicken fights two hunters and sets off an explosion so powerful that the shockwave launches the chicken to the top of the highest cabin, while the hunters are blown so far away they don't even appear in the thumbnail! Or... well, yeah, I remember a story...

Just open your mind to the strangest and most unusual story you can imagine.

Estimated weekly playtime with a good story: ~2–3 hours.
