You have already built a third wheel with a steer ball. Now, you will build another type of third wheel.

Our last task is to build a third wheel. Try to think of your own construction. You should consider the following important points:
- The wheel/wheels should be able to turn easily – use either beige pins or an axle in a round hole.
- The wheel/wheels should not touch or rub against other parts of the robot.
If you can’t solve the task on your own, you could use constructions from previous robots as reference or use a steer ball for the rear wheel.
Courses and lessons with this Tutorial
This Tutorial is used in the following courses and lessons
Level A2. "Space exploration". Robotics with LEGO
The second level of the Robotics with LEGO curriculum for students in second, third or fourth grades.
A new sensor is introduced - the Ultrasonic distance sensor can help the robot avoid obstacles. Students work with new concepts like loop, degrees and medium motor. Robots can now do two different actions at the same time - while solving missions on a field, the third motor clears detected obstacles. The first robot with chain-treads is built.

Build a robot without instructions (advanced)
It is time to construct our first robot without instructions. As with every other task we will divide it into several smaller tasks. Make sure you ask your teacher for feedback after each completed task, before moving to the next one.
The tasks will be as follows:
- Firmly attach a motor to the brick;
- Attach a second motor on the other side of the brick in the same way;
- Build wheels on both motors;
- Construct a third wheel.

Robotics with LEGO - Level 1.0 - Adventure in Space
The first level of the Robotics with LEGO curriculum for students in fifth to twelfth grades.
Various constructions with robots are built. Learn how to control the motors so that the robot navigates around the Moon and Earth in various ways. Getting to know the first two sensors. The robot can feel its surroundings with the help of the Touch sensor and avoid obstacles.
