Building Instructions -

• Ubuntu

VEX IQ version of an Easy Bot. It's simple and appropriate for classes of students. 

"Do. Or do not. There is no try!"

You probably remember this famous line spoken by Yoda in the film "Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back". We've created FREE 3D and animated building instructions of LEGO's Star Wars "The Child (75318)" build-and-display model. Except the obvious cuteness overload, we did our best to create the 3D steps in the easiest way possible, so you DO manage to build "Baby Yoda" successfully, because trying is not an option. Fun you shall have, in 3D you shall build! Ready to go?

Pallo, from Ancient Greek, means "to throw" or "to hurl"—a root of the modern word "catapult".

Pallo is a robot made of two parts. The first part is the catapult! It contains no electronic components and uses two rubber bands to launch a projectile toward the second part. The second part is the target. It features a color sensor which, using a piston with differently colored sections, detects how accurately the target has been hit. Good luck with the shooting!

This device is designed to be attached to "LEGO Mindstorms Robot with a large inertia cargo". It is a color sensor that goes on the caster wheel of the robot. In this case, the sensor will follow the robot.

Alice is a lovely little bird, with some amazing mechanisms on her feet. It uses two large motors and one medium one as a head, which drives both its wings.

These are instructions prepared by LEGO.

Background

Space is quiet and beautiful, but with almost no heat, air, nor air pressure, it could freeze, suffocate, and boil you all at once! Help our spacewalking astronaut “Gerhard” get to safety.

Mission

The robot needs to get Gerhard’s body into the airlock chamber.

Scores

• Astronaut completely in the habitation hub’s airlock chamber: 22 OR
• Astronaut partly in the habitation hub’s airlock chamber: 18
• Possible scores: 0, 18, 22

Scoring Requirements

• For this mission, the word “body” includes all parts except the loop.
• Results must be visible at the end of the match.

This robot is a spin-off of the Useless machine built from LEGO Mindstorms EV3. This robots mission is to be the last to press the button it holds.

Building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot where the motors are at the back of the horizontally placed brick and they are placed vertically. This construction is difficult to turn with but at the same time is quite high and could be used as a base for different trucks or animals. 

Vex IQ robot base which could be used with different attachments. The gravity center of this robot is in the backside and it has a lot of space in front for attachments.

Background

To live away from earth, it would help if we were good at detecting and mining resources under the surfaces of other planets, moons, asteroids, and even comets.

Mission

The robot needs to get all the core samples out of the core site model, then it has options for what to do with them as described here, and in mission M03.

Scores

• Move all four core samples so they are no longer touching the axle that held them in the core site model: 16
• Place the gas core sample so it is touching the mat, and completely in the lander’s target circle: 12 OR
• Place the gas core sample completely in base: 10
• Place the water core sample so it is supported only by the food growth chamber: 8
• Possible Scores: 0, 16, 24, 26, 28, 34, 36

Scoring Requirements

• Results must be visible at the end of the match.

Building instruction for both EV3 and NXT. The whole catapult is build in exactly 78 steps.

A similar LEGO attachment the previous once, but this one is with a different gear ratio. Again using a frame, two axles and two gears you can change the direction of the motion.  

This is an attachment for the Kriket box robot. It demonstrates how to build attachments that glide over the robot, are pinless and could be quickly and easily replaced and changed with another attachment. This attachment also lifts. Quite cool. Quite cool.

Motivated by the five-minute robot, this robot has its own rails!

 

This is another LEGO Mindstorms grabber, but this time it has 4 fingers! They are moved simultaneously by a medium motor. The grabber was taken from Cron - LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Crane.

This construction is taken from here. It is a little bit modified so you can build it from one EV3 Set. We made it because we thing it is genius. We are "angry" in the good meaning оf the word, because we didn't invent it. We hope that you will have the same fun as we do with it.

We think that this thing is a perfect example of balancing and mind scratching behavior. You also need to be precise with the length of the ropes. And the best part of it is that you don't need to program anything. 

Have fun and good luck!

This robot was designed for the VEX IQ Challenge 2019-2020. It could push four hubs simultaneously. It can carry one. And it call pull itself on the bar at the end of the run. We've used four omni wheels of which the two at the back are the driving wheels.

Demo program can be found at Program for Winner - VEX IQ Competition Robot for the 2018-2019 Challenge.

This is an 8 bar lifting robot. Way should I build this instead of Roberto bot you ask? Because it is... well... it lift thing straight up, it lift 'em higher, it's more beautiful than Roberto and is more bad ass looking than 4 bar lifting mechanism. OOoohhh, and one more thing it may use the same program as Roberto Bot With Four Bars Lifting Mechanism.
