Building Instructions

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.

This LEGO Mindstorms robot base is small, compact and packed in a very small volume. The goal of this constructions is to be used as a base and to show yet another way to experiment with adding motors to the brick.

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.

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 robot extends the Tetrix Box Robot chassis for FTC competitions with an additional arm. The arm could be used for lifting and placing objects and could be quite useful. 

There is a special rubber band at the end of the arm, because there are not enough parts in the Tetrix set and we had to use a rubber band. But the principle of the arm is interesting, useful and you should be familiar with it - the arm keeps the motors always in the right orientation.   

Let's build a robot with treads. These building instructions are for a Guard Tank Robot. The good thing about tanks is that they could tackle a lot of obstacles on their way. At least this is what people are saying. Try it. Could you move over LEGO parts with this tank if they are one brick tall, or two bricks tall? What would be the largest obstacle that you could find, over which this tank could still move? Share a video or picture below in the comments section.

We would admit that this tank lacks a gun or an arm, but it is up to you to build one.

Building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot where the motors are placed in an unusual manner. They are vertically placed on the sides. This robot construction base is very convenient for a quick and interesting robot on which you could build. 

There are so many ways to attach the motor to a Mindstorms Brick. We haven't counted them, but we sure like to experiment with them. This is one way. Not the perfect, not very stable sometimes, but you could also learn from prototypes and "mistakes". And the LEGO brick is on the same level as the motors. Follow the building constructions and have the motors attached to the sides of this Mindstorms Base construction. 

The third version of the EV3 Easy Bot. This is a simple and easy to follow robot, that aims at showing the use of tyres on robots. The robot has a gear up ratio and no tyres, so it is quite fast and entertaining.

Shows the pipe attachment constructions that is mounted on the robot. The pipe is than mounted on this constuctions

LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Robot designed for a Folk Race competition. This robot has three Ultrasonic Sensors. Follow the building instructions and at the end, you would have a very basic robot with tank treads that you could directly use. 

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

Building a third wheel for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Robot is always an interesting and challenging task. These building instructions are for a third back wheel. You can even notice that there is no wheel involved. It is just LEGO parts but it is one of the most stable ways to build a third wheel. There is some friction, of course, but not that much.

Interesting and useful attachment for dropping a LEGO human at a specific location. It uses a lever and a gear wheel. When the lever is pressed the wheel rotates.

The attachment is constructed from LEGO Mindstorms EV3 sets.

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.

This is the simplest possible line following robot. It has just one sensor in the front between the two driving wheels and uses beams as pivots instead of a third wheel. Try it out. Follow the building instructions and start following lines in a number of minutes.

The first thing every student wants to build is a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot with treads. Well, we have one. Take a look. It's really funny.

Can you make it move? Send us a video or picture in the comment section below.   

We've built a box robot chassis that could easily be extended with attachments for FIRST Technical Challenge competition.

If you ever felt that FIRST Technical Challenge is difficult and you don't know where to start from, building this Tetrix robot is the first thing that you could do. You would have 4 motors, plenty of space for attachments and good access to the phone.

The robot is built from a Tetrix Set without additional parts. It's a winning robot in just 109 steps 

Don't we all love animals? But it is sometimes difficult to have a puppy at home. Presenting to you - the Puppy robot (drums in the back). It has some of the benefits of a Puppy - it is small, it can follow you with the Ultrasonic Sensor and it can bark (if you program it to). Follow the building instructions. Use it at home or at class.

This are building instructions for a second mechanism for collecting cubes. This mechanism is designed for VEX Robot Base 1 and can be used for solving VEX IQ Challenge Highrise 2014-2015.
