Ambulance and Truck Robot Attachment
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.
Built from LEGO Mindstorms EV3 parts.

Robot Design Ideas for Chassis with Mindstorms EV3. Base 1
Five different robot chassis. This is the goal of the series. To present ideas for different design of the robots and especially the robot bases. If the base is stable and balanced, then in could easily be extended. Let's start with the most simple of the five.

Keep the LEGO robot orientation straight. Proportional Part. Coefficients.
We should multiply the error by a certain number and then add it to the steering of the LEGO Mindstorms Steering block. In this way, by changing the coefficient we change how much/fast should the proportional part influence the steering of the robot.

Flip attachment from LEGO Education SPIKE Prime, with 3D building instructions
This robot attachment in inspired by one of the most interesting missions we've seen at FIRST LEGO League competitions - the Manhole Cover (08th) Mission in FIRST LEGO League 2017-2018 . The attachment demonstrates how you could flip an object. It's built with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime parts and could be used in competitions in robotics like FIRST LEGO League/World Robotics Olympiad. 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.

FLL 2020: How to accomplish Step Counter mission
In this FIRST LEGO League video tutorial we accomplish the Step Counter mission from the FLL 2020 RePlay mission. The mission model is quite interesting as it can not be pushed fast and it can not be pushed slowly, because it will jam. The robot must push it with the right speed and this proves to be difficult.

FLL 2020: Inventor attachment for Bench mission
The Bench mission in FIRST LEGO League 2020 was one of the more complex missions during the competition. It involved two things - lifting part of the mission model and bringing it back to base and in the same time dropping 4 different boxes which was difficult to achieve. We came up with two solutions for SPIKE Prime and for Robot Inventor and this is the Robot Inventor solution. Take a look. You will learn how to build complex attachments doing more than one thing at a time.

FLL 2020: How to accomplish Innovation Project with LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor
The goal of the Innovation project mission is probably to give everybody an easy win on the competition. A mission that does not require an attachment or a complex program and it the same time is quite interesting. In this video tutorial you will see our robot and our innovation project construction, along with how we complete the mission. Hope you like them!

How to move forward with LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor
With this video tutorial we start the course for LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor and how to successfully program the robot for FIRST LEGO League robotics competition. It is good to have SPIKE Prime or EV3 for the competition. But if you happen to have Robot Inventor, don't be discourage. It is still possible to participate and accomplish a lot with the set.

How to on 'Easy Detach of Modules' in LEGO Mindstorms. Example with Robot Inventor
On every FIRST LEGO League competition and generally robotics competitions with LEGO robots, we build attachments to accomplish missions and we must accomplish the missions in a limited amount of time. Most of the time we can not accomplish the missions with a single attachment and we have to change attachments. This is where building robot attachments that are easy to remove really makes sense. In this tutorial we discuss some of the things that should be considered in the building Easy to Detach modules and attachments

Attachment that is detached when completing the mission, from LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor, with building instructions
This attachment is a demonstration of how easy to detach attachment could be build for LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor robot where both the robot and the attachment is from the same 51515 set. The principle is useful for accomplishing missions where the mission model should be placed on the FIRST LEGO League field and in the same time should be supported in a way. Check out the tutorial for a demonstration.
