This construction demonstrates one way of using а rack with a gear wheel. It allows to turn circular motion in to a liniar one.
This robot is robot based on Roberto Chassis. It is equiped with a pushing rack. You can add something to the rack so it can do some other jobs.
The program for this robot is at programs/ajk7i1-roberto-with-rack-for-pushing-to-the-left-and-right-side-vex-iq-robot.
Mintonet (engl. Mintonette) comes from the name of the first iteration of volleyball.
The robot can move only forward and backward, without turning, with the help of a large EV3 motor. Another large motor is used to shoot. The robot uses an EV3 ultrasonic sensor to detect its partner and throw a ball at it.
Mintonette comes from the first iteration of Volleyball with the same name.
The robot uses two EV3 Touch sensors to control the turret left and right. It uses the EV3 Color sensor to trigger the shooting mechanism, which consists of an EV3 Large motor which pulls a lever to shoot a ball.
Roberto is one handed robot with four bars mehanizm. He is more durable then Pesho.
This robot is based on Roberto Chassis.
Program for this robot available here.
Piscis from Latin means fish.
Piscis is a LEGO fish robot which uses a very interesting mechanism for turning. It's tail uses a medium motor to turn left or right. On its end there are two wheels. When the robot turns its tail, those wheels navigate the movement of the robot and it turns. This results in a cool turning mechanism which resembles how fish move.
Piscis also uses a large motor to move forward and backward. The touch sensor at the front helps it sense danger and return quickly back to the reef.
Watch out for the tooth wheels, they bite!
This is a version of the Midas - a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Clam robot. The main difference between the two robots is that the motors are flipped.
The robot uses two Large Mindstorms EV3 Motors to open and close its shell. There are four hoses on the top of the shell which can be reshaped to form different shell styles. It also uses two black bent beams for eyebrows that can be moved to change the expression of the clam. A Castor Ball is used to represent its pearl.
Umjaho - from the language of the Zulu tribe. It means "competition"
This LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot has three sensors - touch, color and ultrasonic. When the touch sensor is pressed the robot starts moving. The color sensor is used for following lines and the ultrasonic sensor is used to detect any robots in front of the robot.
Dwell is a car built with a LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 set. It uses the medium motor for powering the back wheel and one more medium motor for rotating the front wheels and thus turning. Of course, there is a differential at the back.
This robot is a simplified spinoff of the Box Robots (Box Robot 1 and Box Robot 2). It may be build with a single set, but it will require extra technic beams 7x5 with open centers.
The name of the robot - "Squmo" is derived from the ancient tradition of connecting two words to make on and hense - "Square sumo" because "Squmo".
It kind of looks like an Inuit. But it surely walks like one. Most of the time Inuit walk with special boots that allows them to walk on deep snow without getting stuck. This robot walks in the same way. It has large feet and it moves one after the other.

It also uses two black bent beams for eyebrows, that can be moved to change the expression of the clam. A Castor Ball is used to represent its pearl.
This one is also fast. It has assistant wheels, but only to keep the balance. It is built with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 sets with the use of one additional Medium Motor.
Join the course A robot a "day" keeps the questions awake where we will further discuss the motors, how to build them and what tasks to accomplish with them.

Building instructions for LEGO EV3 robot with color wheel that can be rotated through the medium motor. The color wheel is at the front of the robot while there is a color sensor at the back. The color sensor could read the color from another robot. The robot can be used in classes with students to play the telephone game.
An example of a program for controlling the robot could be found at https://www.fllcasts.com/programs/kmeat9-ev3-g-myblock-for-rotating-the-color-wheel-randomly
This is the good not so old Pesho Bot Chassis with a "two bars" lifting mechanism and a hand. It can be build with any set. Only the omni-wheels are extra, but what is a good robot without an omni-wheels.
The program for this robot is at programs/a6hrcz-pesho-bot-with-two-bars-lifting-mechanism-controls-with-modkit
This is a simple chassis that uses two motors to control the robot and two omni wheels at the back for greater maneuverability.
The program for this chassis is at programs/c0oq4l-pesho-bot-chassis-controls-with-modkit
Building instructions for an EV3 LEGO Mindstorms Dump Truck. The back of the truck can be tilted through controlling the medium EV3 motor so that the load can be dumped at a desired location. Also, the robot has a color sensor to determine the type of load it is carrying.
