Building Instructions

These are the official robot rules for the FIRST LEGO League Hydrodynamics 2017-2018 robot missions. 

Background

Our Lander doesn’t have working parachutes, thrusters, or cushions, but one important feature is realistic … it’s very fragile.

Mission

Get the lander to one of its targets intact, or at least get it to base.

Scores

• Move the lander to be intact, touching the mat, and completely in its target circle: 22 OR
• Move the lander to be intact, touching the mat, and completely in the northeast planet area: 20 OR
• Move both parts of the lander completely into the base: 16
• Possible scores: 0, 16, 20, 22

Scoring Requirements

• The result must be visible at the end of the match.
• The lander is “intact” if its parts are connected by at least two of its four tan location axles.

Building instructions for the One Attachment. Built from LEGO Mindstorms EV3 parts and with an Ultrasonic sensor we've used this attachment to accomplish most of the missions at FIRST LEGO League 2013.

SIngle robot attachment, many points. 

These are building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 demonstration model. In the tutorial, we are using it to demonstrate the working and relations of LEGO Gears.

Another example for a quick pinless attachment build with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robots.

This is the robot that we use to demonstrate a solution for competition. This is a Post season solution. We never release any solutions during the season as this will have a negative impact on the competition. But after the competition we try to make a review and to see how we could have accomplish it. Our goal is to be better for next year.

This robot is quite powerful. The attachment mechanism on the front is one of a kind as it can do several things with a single motor: it can lift, it can unlock, it can grab. All of this thanks to the unique mechanism of gears

These are instructions on how to build the:

• Elevator
• Test building

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

You can find more building instructions and tips and tricks about the competition on this page.

Do you have a friend for a sleepover? This might be the perfect robot for you! It is a football gate, guarded by Fint, the goalkeeper robot. You can control him, by using the remote controller, that consists of two Touch Sensors. Take turns making penalty shots and have a blast with this awesome robot!

What we recommend:

• Using a big LEGO wheel from your set as a football ball.
• If you throw the wheel too fast for the robot to catch, increase the distance between the place you shoot the ball from and the robot.

This is a very funny robotics hand with 3 fingers that you could put on your hand to "Rule the World". It's funny to control it with the touch sensors.

Building instructions for the most simple grabber using just one Large EV3 LEGO motor. It has one static lever and one active lever.

Probably the simples trick for pinless attachments that we've found. It is a construction build in just three steps. Simple as that. But it has a lot of potential to teach you how to use pinless attachments. Pinless attachments are very useful during FIRST LEGO League and World Robot Olympiad competitions. 

These are 3D Building instructions for the Oil Platform. You can build them from Bag 2

This is the attachment to accomplish Fll 2019 M06 mission with the Whakatae. You can see how to attach the attachment to the robot in this tutorial to do.

This module is made as a grabber that uses a cool mechanism to catch things vertically. It is powered by a medium motor. The grabber is used in Earl Bot - Grabbing and Clearing LEGO Mindstorms Robot without wheels.

Mintonette comes from the first iteration of Volleyball with the same name.

The robot uses two EV3 Touch sensors to control the turret left and right. It uses the EV3 Color sensor to trigger the shooting mechanism, which consists of an EV3 Large motor which pulls a lever to shoot a ball.

Instructions for building remote control. It uses the rotation sensor to determine the steering and touch sensor for handling the movement. Find building instructions for a suitable chassis here. 

Together the controller and the car look like this:

This is the Prime Power Switch mission as we've designed it for FLLCasts Off-season Challenge. It it a useful mission to accomplish with different attachments and approaches. The mission is to rotate the lever of the mission model.

The LEGO Mindstorms EV3 version of this mission model is available at Power Switch mission model. FLLCasts Off-season Challenge

This attachment accomplishes the Into Orbit Extraction mission from the FIRST LEGO League Into Orbit 2017-2018 competitions. The based of the robot is the SUV Competition Box Robot from LEGO Mindstorms EV3.

This is the attachment of Team "Nightbeast", with which they solve M01 and M02 from FLL Into Orbit Challenge
