Cody is a robot, designed to move in a straight line. It has a single motor, rotating two wheels. Behind the motor, Cody holds a Color Sensor. These two combined could be programmed to work as a barcode reader, measuring the length of any color beneath the robot.

This robot was designed for the VEX IQ Challenge 2019-2020. It could push four hubs simultaneously. It can carry one. And it call pull itself on the bar at the end of the run. We've used four omni wheels of which the two at the back are the driving wheels.

Demo program can be found at Program for Winner - VEX IQ Competition Robot for the 2018-2019 Challenge.

Instructions for building a LEGO truck. We use a medium motor for steering and a large motor for driving one of the rear wheels.

Francesco 2 is inspired by the robot Francesco.

Building instructions for a simple car using an EV3 Large motor for turning the front wheels and EV3 medium motor with differential for driving the rear wheels. Differently, from Francesco, Francesco 2 has space where a locking mechanism is meant to be built for the differential.

This is an addition for Welder - super simple Motorcycle built with LEGO Mindstorms EV3. It allows the motorcycle to drive on its back wheel and perform cool tricks that way. Exactly what tricks, you will have to find on your own!

Zat is fun. Zat is great. It is a simple construction for a car with 4 large wheels. And who does not like cars with large wheels. Built from LEGO SPIKE Core set 45678 + LEGO SPIKE Expansion Set 45680 we had a lot of fun with it on Sunday. It was an idea of my wife and the kids took a lot of time putting things on in and moving it around. Just put things on it and play with it.

Zatty is the smaller sibling if Zat. Zatty is small and cute. It's a car on a frame with 4 small wheels and of course two mini figures riding in it or on it. Built from LEGO SPIKE Core set 45678 + LEGO SPIKE Expansion Set 45680 it was designed by my 7 years old daughter and then slightly improved by me and the colleagues.

Play time for a week: About an hour

Zatter is the big brother of Zat and Zatty. Zatter is here to take the load. It has a large container on its back, suitable for placing different toys inside and playing with them. Built from LEGO SPIKE Core set 45678 + LEGO SPIKE Expansion Set 45680 it was designed by my wife and just slightly improved by me and my colleagues. We spend a good hour or two with the kids placing different plush toys and playing with it.

The name of the game? Football!

This Kick the ball attachment for Tricky - the Mindstorms 51515 Robot Inventor smallest robot - is one of our favorites. Imagine a LEGO robot playing football. It is dribbling through the center of the field, it enters the box, it strikes and... goooooooal. What a fun game to play at home, if you decide to build Tricky with this kicking attachment. Aptly named for it’s “trick shots” with the included Mindstorms/Duplo ball. After you're ready with the construction of this robot, you'll find the instructions for building the goal frame below.

Here are the building instructions for the Turning attachment for Tricky - the Mindstorms 51515 Robot Inventor robot. Tricky might be the smallest robot, built with this set, but it will surprise you with its abilities to spin the ball. If you build this Turning attachment for Tricky, you could try to play a crazy little bowling game with it. As the robot is spinning the ball, you can program it to move forward and then stop, so the ball could go forward (hopefully towards the bowling pins). You can play to see who will be the first to make a strike. The Mindstorms/Duplo ball and the bowling pins are included in the set.

The robot is named after the South Pole–Aitken basin, the largest impact crater in the Solar System that has been discovered on the far side of the Moon.

Astronauts, prepare to enter lunar orbit! This robot comes equipped with a stand that can hold a camera or a phone in order to take a picture of the far side of the moon. If your phone or camera does not fit, the stand can be easily modified to suit your needs. With its two motors, Aitken can make both wide and narrow circles around the Moon to ensure the perfect shot!

This robot looks a bit weird. Can you guess why? The motors are placed in opposite directions. One of the motors is facing "forward" while the other one is facing "backwards". This means that if you tell both motors to rotate forward the robot will just rotate! To make the robot move forward, you will need to make one of the motors rotate forward and the other one - backwards.

The goal of this robot is to teach students that motors could be placed in many different ways. It is not always the case that the two motors face the same direction and this needs to be accounted for during programming.
