These are all the robot building instructions. By visiting each building instruction you could see the Tutorials and Courses and Lessons in which it is used.
Building instructions for probably the simplest LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Motorcycle that you could think of. Can you think of a simpler? Build it and send it to us.
The motorcycle has one large and one medium motor. Turns are hard, but we will think of solutions for turns. There are also other motorcycles, more complex ones that you could build
Building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot that we call Space Explorer. The motors are attached in a very interesting way to the brick. Both the brick and the motors are vertical and there are not many robots like this. With its ultrasonic sensor, this robot allows you to follow, find or avoid objects. Just like an explorer. And since it is a robot why not put it in space and call it "Space Explorer".
There is one part that is not from the EV3 sets, but you can actually skip it. You don't need it. Try to find which one.
This LEGO Mindstorms robot is strange. Can you guess what is strange about it?... The motors are placed in a reverse direction. One of the motors is facing "forward" while the other one is facing "backwards". This means that if you make the robot move forward with a Tank Block in the EV3-G software it will just rotate. To make the robot move forward, you will have to make one of the motors rotate forward and the other one - rotate backwards.
The goal of this robot is to teach students that motors could be placed in many different ways. It is not always the case that the two motors face the same direction. Also, it is quite fun.
Building instructions for a LEGO robot that shoots 40 mm ping pong balls. The shooting mechanism is powered by two EV3 Large motors, while the whole mechanism is rotated by a medium motor. The robot can store up to 6 ping pong balls and has a Ultrasonic Sensor to detect targets.
Let's go fast. Large wheels on the back. A lot of torque, small wheels on the front, good aerodynamics. Here we go.
These are building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Drag Car.
Take a motorcycle and start removing parts. You get a chopper. Like this one. It is built with LEGO Mindstorms EV3. It has one large and one medium motor. It could kind of turn, but moving forward with it is very funny. There is a "more sports like version" available at Ninja - Sports Motorcycle built with LEGO Mindstorms EV3
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 motorcycles, how to build them and what tasks to accomplish with them.
Building instructions for a LEGO Truck. The robot is presented as an Ammo Truck but it can be used for transporting various other objects, too. The construction has a rear drive with each of the rear wheels driven by a Large Lego Motor. The front wheels steer using a Medium Lego Motor. The Brick is placed at the front of the construction which gives the opportunity to easily attach different sensors, based on the task.
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.
Instructions for building a LEGO truck. We use a medium motor for steering and a large motor for driving one of the rear wheels.
"You need to step on three points to be stable". This is something you could directly see after building this marvellous, 270+ steps, extremely interesting Motorcycle with a side cart. Yes, we are proud of it. The robot is suitable for using it at home. The instructions for building it contain more than 270+ steps so it is a test for endurance, concentration, passion. The same way driving a motorcycle is.
Or you could just step into the cart, drive along and enjoy the view while someone else is building the robot. Like a sibling or a parent.

This is a Garbage container and it is fun. As all garbage containers it has only three wheels as one of the wheels is missing. You can also see how one of the wheels is a little different and broken to the side. Like all garbage containers.
The container is useful to play and put things inside.
Suitable for children 6-10 years old. Construct the Garbage Container and leave it for a week for the children to play with. They will spend at least an hour playing with it during the week
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.
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:
You can find constructions created to play with Tricky, by following the links below:
One pumpkin spice latte coming right up! This robot is made to serve the best drinks in the whole continent! It is one of the simpler robots that can be made with the LEGO SPIKE Prime set and it uses two medium motors to move around. The coolest part about the robot is the cup holder where a "cup" can be attached or removed. Bottoms up!
You remember Mighty Coffee? Well, my wife is looking at me building Mighty Coffee and is like "Why can't we have a beer?"...yes, the world around me. At the end of the day we had a Mighty Coffee and MBEER and we realized that both of these are not appropriate for 6-10 years old, but nevertheless the children had a lot of fun with them. They were pouring coffee in the beer mug, then put the whole Mighty Coffee into the beer mug they played probably for about an hour. Built from LEGO SPIKE Core set 45678 + LEGO SPIKE Expansion Set 45680 this beer mug is just clean and beautiful. Only with blue frames. As an engineer I tried to construct it the first time with the children and then ask them to construct it without following instructions. Try it. It is like a puzzle. Build it the first time with the 3D Assembly Instruction and the second time without any instruction.
Play time for a week: ~1-2 hours in total.
