Building Instructions

Cápa means shark in Hungarian.

The robot resembles a live hammershark. It uses a medium motor to move its tail, which is used for the shark to turn. It moves forward with a large motor and two tyres. Its jaws open and close with a second large motor. The two touch sensors at the front are purely for aesthetics but you can use them if you like. Finally the head has an ultrasonic sensor which detects if something is a potential "prey". This resembles the real hammer sharks' ability to sense with their "hammer".

In all building instructions for LEGO robots it is important to have the motors attached to the brick in more than one place. In the following construction, there is a beam connecting the two motors which has exactly this purpose. It makes the construction much more stable. Try removing this beam for example and see what will happen. Would the robot be able to move?

Many different types of wheels could be used. Both NXT and EV3 or from other LEGO technic series.

It moves and it collects. It collects objects.

These are building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms robot that could collect objects. It is not actually catching them and that's why we call it "Simple Catch Bot". The general case is to program it to move on the floor and collect some of the Mindstorms wheels and tires coming with the 45544, 45560 or 31313 LEGO sets.   

Instructions for building a steering chassis from LEGO EV3 Mindstorms. It uses EV3 Large motor to power the rear wheels and EV3 Medium motor for the steering mechanism. Find building instructions for the remote control here.

The robot uses two Large Mindstorms EV3 Motors to open and close its shell. On the top of the shell are used four hoses, that can be reshaped to form different shell styles. It also uses two black bent beams for eyebrows, that can be moved to change the expression of the clam. A Castor Ball is used to represent its pearl.

"Bot. Spy Bot."

Many of us are fascinated by the idea of spies. Movies for "spies" are also very popular and if you haven't watched them check out the 007 movies. These here are building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms robot with two touch sensors and one ultrasonic. It could be used as a spy - sneaking closer to you and detecting if you move or if you touch it. The whole idea for this robot came from NXT when there were sound sensors. Currently, there are no sound sensors in the EV3 set, but the robot could again be quite fun to program. 

An awesome ski-jet robot, steering with a medium motor and powered by a single large motor. It also has a pair of inclined treads, making it especially well-suited for the harsh winter terrain.

*There is a mistake in this robot you will have to find. How would you make it work?

Some say it is cute, other say it is scary, but that's the way bunnies are. You never know if you are dealing with a cute little rabbit or a monster trying to destroy the universe as we know it.. you know, bunnies. This SPIKE bunny was designed by Ahmad Sahar and the building instructions were inspired by this video. and prepared by FLLCasts team as 3D building instructions.

Building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Motorcycle, but this time with helper wheels. The helper wheels solve the problem of making turns with the robot. If the robot loses balance it will fall. The goal of the helper wheels is to make it easier for the robot to turn. Small modification, but really make a difference. 

Value was inspired by the spy vehicle robot. This little robot was built to measure the volume of the room he's in.

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.  

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

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.

Not all LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Robot should be aligned horizontally or vertically. It is quite possible to have the brick and the motors attached in such a way that the robot is at a certain angle. 

This is a very useful small construction that could be used as a base and extended with hands and heads or other interesting ....robot body parts.

VEX IQ Steering Rover Car with remote control.

A hand driven Ferris wheel for a cascades. Something like the famous Ferris wheel scene from Le boulet movie.

Or create a story like... Where the chicken fight two hunters and blows them away with explosion so powerful that the shock wave blow away the chicken to the top of the highest cabin and the hunters are blown away that far they are missing in the thumb nail! Or ... Yea, I remember a story ...

Just open your mind for the most strange and unusual story you can think of.

Weekly playtime with a good story: About ~2-3 hours

"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?

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.
