Building Instructions

Where do you keep your robots? We like to keep them ordered.... 

Actually we lied. It is almost always a mess wtih boxes and parts everywhere. We had sum FUN building this IKEA Billy and putting some of the FIRST LEGO League Mission Models.  

This is a LEGO Mindstorms Boxing robot. The inspiration story goes like this "One day we though - Let's play SUMO at this robotics demonstration, but let's make it more interesting. Let's play sumo with Humanoid Robots". We decided to build a boxing robot. The goal of the robot is to press the touch sensor on the other robot and it could be very fun. Perfect robot for demonstration. It is controlled by a joystick using the Bluetooth connection.

Here are the joystick and the programs for the joystick and the robots. 

Joystick For Real Steel Lego Boxing Robot

Real Steel Boxing Robots Programs

This is the joystick for controlling Real Steel LEGO Boxing Robot. We use the bluetooth connection for communication between the two bricks. 

We wanted to be with the spirit of Halloween, so we decided to give you a little scene which you can build at home. These parts are ordinary and could be found anywhere. Here are links for the sets:

• Bat
• Ghost
• Pumpkin

Happy Halloween from the FLLCasts team!

Winter might be far away or it might just be coming - depending of course on where you are in the world. But you can always spend a few hours having fun with a LEGO Mindstorms Snowmobile. A really challenging construction that requires good preparation, concentration and a lot of efforts to complete. Same is going to the mountain in the winter. But the reward at the end is worth it. 

Building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Motorcycle, but this time with helper wheels. The helper wheels solve the problem of making turns with the robot. If the robot loses balance it will fall. The goal of the helper wheels is to make it easier for the robot to turn. Small modification, but really make a difference. 

Building instructions for LEGO EV3 catching robot. It uses a medium motor to drive system of gears, which is used for catching objects. It, also, has an ultrasonic and colour sensors for detecting the objects. 

"You need to step on three points to be stable". This is something you could directly see after building this marvellous, 270+ steps, extremely interesting Motorcycle with a side cart. Yes, we are proud of it. The robot is suitable for using it at home. The instructions for building it contain more than 270+ steps so it is a test for endurance, concentration, passion. The same way driving a motorcycle is. 

Or you could just step into the cart, drive along and enjoy the view while someone else is building the robot. Like a sibling or a parent.  

Join the course A robot a "day" keeps the questions awake where we will further discuss the motorcycles, how to build them and what tasks to accomplish with them.
