Francesco 2 is inspired by the robot Francesco.
Building instructions for a simple car using an EV3 Large motor for turning the front wheels and EV3 medium motor with differential for driving the rear wheels. Differently, from Francesco, Francesco 2 has space where a locking mechanism is meant to be built for the differential.
No need for all attachments to be powered by motors and to include gears. It's sometimes possible to use a simple robot attachment to collect objects. Such attachments we call passive and this one is an example for the Box Robot Chassis.
Build with LEGO Mindstorms EV3
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.
Geldautomaat, from German, means ATM.
This is the last robot from the 3.0 course book in the LEGO Mindstorms Curriculum. It uses a Touch Sensor to sense if there is a card inside. When touched, a Medium Motor starts spinning and pulls the card inside its chamber, where a Color Sensor reads the data from the card.
NOTE: There is a step, where you have to place the "credit card" inside. It may seem unnecessary and pointless, but otherwise, you will not have proper support for the next steps and the construction will crumble.
This is a robot attachment that could be used to lift object. The gear ratio of this attachment is allows it to lift Heavy objects. It's built with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime parts and could be used in competitions in robotics like FIRST LEGO League/World Robotics Olympiad. The goal of the attachment is to demonstrate the principle and example of an attachment for heavy lifting that could be placed on the robot. It's designed for Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions. Check the courses in which this attachment is used for more information and tutorials on how to use it.
Nice idea. Lift the other robot and throw it in the air. Not easy, but Varna is trying to do it. It's a quite powerful robot with small wheels and gear ratio of x3. This means the power is increased 3 time from the motor to the wheel.
Surely you can work with it and even improve it.
We have to admit. This is quite an interesting missions. There is a Manhole cover and it must be turned upside down. Well, the robot must turn it. Again LEGO Box Robot Three With Large Wheels and Thee light sensors and one Gyro is used as a base for the Robot.
The name comes from the worlds most expensive yacht, History Supreme, purchased for around 5 billion US dollars form an anonymous Malaysian buyer.
Robotics Supreme is a robot made to resemble a yacht. For that purpose it is made to look very long and its front comes to one point. It uses two large motors with tyres to move. On the front it also has a color sensor, placed so the robot can follow a line. On the back it has a Gyro sensor, so that it can turn correctly.
Building instructions for this LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot base that could be used in FIRST LEGO League, World Robotics Olympiad and other robotics competitions
Sebastian is a six-legged creature, which technically makes it not-a-crab. Anyway, it still walks sideways and is amazing to build and watch.
You can find the program for Sebastian here.
Lifter is an pretty fast and pretty strong attachment that lift up... things... like exercise machine, astronauts and other stuff.
A program for that attachment in Into Orbit 09 - Strength Exercise challenge is located at programs/hm9c06-lifter-an-attachment-for-suv-box-robot-and-into-orbits-m09-strength-exercise-program.
Classical third wheel for LEGO Mindstorms robots. This construction comes from the NXT world and the wheel is available in the NXT set.
Building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms animal that looks like a Penguin, and walks like a penguin and if you program it, it will even talk like a penguin. Can you program it to talk like a penguin?
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.
A simple active attachment that could be added to the Box Robot Chassis.
These are building instructions for a LEGO WeDo 2.0 Sweeper.
Playing Football with robots is extremely fun. It could be part of the classes, it could be part of demonstration days. The Striker is a robot for handling the ball and attacking the goalkeeper.
Umjaho - from the language of the Zulu tribe. It means "competition"
This LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot has three sensors - touch, color and ultrasonic. When the touch sensor is pressed the robot starts moving. The color sensor is used for following lines and the ultrasonic sensor is used to detect any robots in front of the robot.
It's fast. It's on two wheels. It's a motorcycle. And this one is built from LEGO Mindstorms EV3 sets with the use of one additional Medium Motor. If you have two medium motors, great. If you don't have you can build the Handlebar - Chopper Motorcycle built with LEGO Mindstorms EV3, because it uses one large and one medium motor that are available in any EV3 set.
Currently, the motorcycle has no sensors. It's more of an exercise in construction, but if you attach sensors and think of a way to attach them send us a picture.
Join the course A robot a "day" keeps the questions awake where we will further discuss the motors, how to build them and what tasks to accomplish with them.
You can also download the program from here.
Again a LEGO animal. This time it looks like an ant. It's interesting that this robot has no wheels and moves in a way very different from the rest of the "wheel robots".
There is much to be learned about mechanics from the way animals move. Ants are a good example. In the real world, an ant could carry a load of 20x its mass. It would be interesting to see how much load could this robot carry? Try it.
