This construction is ment as a addition to the base line following robot with exposed sensor.

We love tanks. You love tanks. Everybody loves tanks. Well, not exactly - more like everybody loves machines with chain treads because they are interesting, not that common, very easy to build and could tackle a lot of obstacles.

A FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 attachment for the MiniBox Robot.

This attachment is designed to detach, once it completes its purpose. Due to the way, the attachment is left on the mission model, it slides from, creating distance between itself and the mission model, therefore meeting the requirement that no attachment should be touching the mission model at the end of the competition. This is done, so that the team loses less time switching attachments in the base, lowering the chance of human error during the competition.

This is a simple robot, variation of the Earl bot using treads. You can use the attachment to kick balls sideways. The robot is useful in STEM classes where students have to construct robots quickly.

When you need a LEGO robot attachment to lift heavy things on the competition field. Probably at FIRST LEGO League or World Robotics Olympiad. This attachment uses 4-5 gear wheels to lift a heavy object.

Build with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 parts.

Robot attachment that shows you how a circular motion could be transferred to linear by using a gear and a rack. The final motion is for pushing and pulling things. 

The attachment could be built from LEGO Mindstorms EV3 and NXT parts. 

This attachment is accomplishing two missions and partly two more missions from the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024. It is for the Chain Monster Robot. It solves mission 6 - Music concert lights and sounds and mission 7 - Hologram Performance. It partially solves mission 14 - Audience delivery and mission 15 - Expert delivery by delivering Noah the Sound Engineer to the Music Concert area.

Building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot that we call Space Explorer. The motors are attached in a very interesting way to the brick. Both the brick and the motors are vertical and there are not many robots like this. With its ultrasonic sensor, this robot allows you to follow, find or avoid objects. Just like an explorer. And since it is a robot why not put it in space and call it "Space Explorer".

There is one part that is not from the EV3 sets, but you can actually skip it. You don't need it. Try to find which one.

The MiniBox box robot features a unique design with three perpendicularly rotating gearwheels, which simplifies the attachment design process. This setup allows teams to easily create and connect attachments on multiple sides, making it quick to adjust the robot for various tasks.

Its structure includes walls with a maximum attachable surface area, offering flexibility in attachment placement. This extensive surface allows for secure connections, so teams can experiment with different attachment configurations.

The MiniBox’s compact size is best suited for smaller, lightweight attachments. When working with larger attachments, its balance and stability can be affected, limiting its effectiveness in tasks that require more substantial setups.

The goal of these building instructions is to build a simple LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot without wheels. You should then think of yourself how exactly to add the wheel. Which wheels would you use on the front? How are you going to build the third wheel? Here are for example a few recommendations on building the third wheel - 1, 2, 3, 4 

Later on you can expland this construction with a grabber as demosntrated here.

The story goes like this. Two engineers meet at a bar (or on discord during the pandemic) discussing which robot to use for this year's FIRST LEGO League 2020 Replay Solution and Review with explanations. They started their cameras, had a hot Carolina Reaper, had an argument, hugged each other, and decided to build Gazon, and use this new robot for the competition. So here it is. Small, 4 motors, 2 color sensors, stable, light.

This LEGO Mindstorms robot is strange. Can you guess what is strange about it?... The motors are placed in a reverse direction. One of the motors is facing "forward" while the other one is facing "backwards". This means that if you make the robot move forward with a Tank Block in the EV3-G software it will just rotate. To make the robot move forward, you will have to make one of the motors rotate forward and the other one - rotate backwards.

The goal of this robot is to teach students that motors could be placed in many different ways. It is not always the case that the two motors face the same direction. Also, it is quite fun. 

This attachment is accomplishing three missions from the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024. It is for the Chain Monster Robot. It solve mission 8 - Rolling camera, mission 12 - Virtual reality artist and mission 13 - Craft creator.

Building instructions for a LEGO robot that shoots 40 mm ping pong balls. The shooting mechanism is powered by two EV3 Large motors, while the whole mechanism is rotated by a medium motor. The robot can store up to 6 ping pong balls and has a Ultrasonic Sensor to detect targets. 

This robot was designed as an example for use on simple line-following fields. It is ideal for beginner and intermediate levels of line-following competitions.
