These are building instruction for a working automatic catapult with a motor and a touch sensor.
This LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot chassis has the brick positioned vertically. Interesting idea that could be very useful.
Building instruction for both EV3 and NXT. The whole catapult is build in exactly 78 steps.
This is a simple LEGO Gear System with a ration of 1:5. When the large wheel rotates 1 time the small wheel will rotate 5 times.
This is the initial construction of a catapult. The base on which we will place the rest of the robot. The goal of this construction is to give the catapult the ability to rotate.
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
User this flywheels construction for experiments in physics. Start rotating the wheel and they would accumulate energy. You can try to calculate this energy and to measure how fast it would be consumed.
The construction is built with LEGO Mindstorms EV3
These are building instructions for one of the greatest LEGO Mindstorms attachments that we've built. Super simple and easy to follow and at the end, you have an attachment with a rubber band that controls a lever and that could lift objects from the field. It could lift them up. Also because it is with a rubber band you don't need a motor and you could use the motor for other attachments.
Building instructions for the Rubber Band Attachment
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.
Third part of the LEGO Mindstorms BidDaddy Competition Robot.
You can attach a frame around the front wheels to make them more stable and to allow for better aligning. The module extends the front wheel built at BigDaddy Front - front wheels mechanism module for a large LEGO Mindstorms Competition Robot
This construction uses a differential. Both wheels could turn with different speed and this makes a construction much more stable when turning.
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
