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.
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!
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 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.
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.
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.
The Swing Game is a SPIKE Prime robot designed as a two-player game. The goal is for both LEGO figures to reach the center of the swing without tipping it over to either side. Each LEGO figure is mounted on a motor connected to a Technic gear rack, allowing it to move along the swing. The motors are controlled separately—one by a color sensor and the other by a Large Motor. If one player moves too far ahead without the other keeping up, the swing will tip... and it’s game over! Good luck, and have fun!
Containers mission models reworked from a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 version available at 778-containers-mission-models-fllcasts-off-season-challenge-2019 to a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime version available in this material. In 3D building instructions for you to construct them.
This robot is made to serve the best tea in the whole continent! It is based on the Easy Bot from EV3. As its predecessor it is based on LEGO Mindstorms EV3. It uses two large motors to move around. The best part of the robot is the cup holder, that has a cool cup that shows the KISS principle.
This is a gun which is build from EV3 Lego Mindstorms set. It can load small EV3 Beams and shoot them.

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