Building Instructions

Another example for a quick pinless attachment build with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robots.

This is a robot, designed to easily lift a cup, while still holding it upright. The robot uses one motor attached to the brick to lift the cup to any angle you want. The cup we have added is purely cosmetic, but with a few adjustments, you can make it lift real cups. Be careful around liquids though!

Instructions for building remote control. It uses the rotation sensor to determine the steering and touch sensor for handling the movement. Find building instructions for a suitable chassis here. 

Together the controller and the car look like this:

These are buliding instructions for the FTC robot and collecting attachments with it. We are doing small modifications of the push bot.

Building instructions for the most simple grabber using just one Large EV3 LEGO motor. It has one static lever and one active lever.

Building instructions for the LEGO Mindstorms attachment using Rubber Bands

The first of a series of attachments that we add to a World Robotics Olympiad LEGO Mindstorms Robot. The attachment is an example for collecting ping-balls. The robot and the attachment are in the same construction. The attachment is a base for a container that could be extended.

We've separated the BigDaddy robot into a few smaller modules. This teaches modularity and gives you the option to reuse some of the modules and to look at specific modules.

Mintonette comes from the first iteration of Volleyball with the same name.

The robot uses two EV3 Touch sensors to control the turret left and right. It uses the EV3 Color sensor to trigger the shooting mechanism, which consists of an EV3 Large motor which pulls a lever to shoot a ball.

This is a ping-ball containing attachment for a World Robotics Olympiad. The attachment is building with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 parts. It is tiltel so that it is easier for the balls to fall off at certain points, which was part of the missions at the 2015 cmpetition. 

A chassis built with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 parts designed for World Robotics Olympiad

This frame holds the motor and ev3 brick used in the catapult. The frame is placed on top of the rotating base and thus could be easily rotated. The brick could be both NXT and EV3

The Laboratory is a robot that tests your programming skills. You will have to measure the volume of a balloon, only by the values you receive from the sensors. 

It has a valve, that allows you to deflate your balloon at different rates.

How to place the balloon in the robot is explained in this tutorial.

This is the "most valuable player" robot. It has many possible modifications, including ones that allow it to bend and reshape. Attachments and redesigns will soon be linked here, so you get an idea of the few ways MVP earns its title.

Let's play some basketball

Tricky might be the smallest Mindstorms 51515 Robot Inventor robot, but it's definitely one of the greatest. If you build Tricky with this particular Basketball attachment and grab the Mindstorms/Duplo ball, which is included in the set, you'll unlock a whole new level in playing basketball at home. Yes, yes, we know that you'll also need a basketball hoop, so you'll find a link for it below.

You can find the LEGO set, with which this was built, by following this link.

You can find other attachments for Tricky, by following the links below:

1. Kick the ball attachment
2. Writing attachment
3. Ball grabbing attachment
4. Turning attachment

You can find constructions created to play with Tricky, by following the links below:

1. Bowling Pins
2. Football Goal
3. Chain Reaction
4. Basketball hoop

Oh no, the delivery is running late! Don't worry, this warehouse robot made to hold and drag objects is here to help! It uses two medium motors to move around and one for a grabber. The grabber, which is at the front of the robot, consists of two double angular lift-arms that are each connected to a gear.

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.

Building instructions for the catapult that could be placed over the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Brick. The idea of the catapult it to throw objects. The fact that it is over the brick makes it very convenient to place the motors below the brick and to use the Catapult. 

This robot construction itself was used in the FIRST LEGO League Senior Solutions competition

If you take a look at the videos for this attachment you will see a nice idea on taking the track and the ambulance. These two vehicles from the FIRST LEGO League 2013 competition had to be collected and returned back to base.
