These are some of the reasons why:
- When you use only "(32072 ) Technic Gear 4 Knob" the attachment will start to jump when it is rotated in some directions. This happens according to the forces in the knobs. That leads us to the next reason why you should not to build attachments in this way.
- You have to remove the attachment "jumping". This makes the attachment bigger, harder to attach and time consuming to design and build.
Crappy Active Attachment For SUV Box Robot
In this attachment two knob wheels "(32072 ) Technic Gear 4 Knob" engage at 90 degrees angle. One of the knob wheels is a part of the robot and the other is a part of a pinless active attachment. The purpose of this attachment is to demonstrate How NOT to build attachments.
Build the attachment and experiment. See for yourself how it "jumps" up and down when the knob wheels are rotating and you hold the lever by hand.

FLLCasts Off-season Challenge with LEGO Mindstorms EV3
The FLL season is great, but has one disadvantage - it ends. We have prepared that course for those of you that does not want to stop! The course presents a whole new challenge with custom designed field and mission models, that can be built from just 2 LEGO Mindstorms EV3 sets (core+resource). It is a great way to keep the momentum going after the end of the FLL season and prepare in the best way possible for the next.

(In development) How to design an active attachment
Introduction
Now, we will learn about how to build a proper active attachment. Building active attachments is essential for every successful team. Today we will build two such attachments and try to solve the Power supply mission with each of them. We will compare the attachments and learn some of the best practices when building such an attachment.
