A robot attachment placed on the right side of the LEGO Mindstorms Box robot chassis. It uses two gear wheel to move a level. The level could collect things.
A simple active attachment that could be added to the Box Robot Chassis.
We've built a box robot chassis that could easily be extended with attachments for FIRST Technical Challenge competition.
If you ever felt that FIRST Technical Challenge is difficult and you don't know where to start from, building this Tetrix robot is the first thing that you could do. You would have 4 motors, plenty of space for attachments and good access to the phone.
The robot is built from a Tetrix Set without additional parts. It's a winning robot in just 109 steps
In Robopartans classes we needed a few parts the the robot could lift in a competition. These is a box that is suitable for this
This is a simple pinless active attachment for the SUV Box Robot.
In this attachment we use "(32498) Technic Gear 36 Tooth Double Bevel". There are four pins added to the wheel and it it this pins that engage with the "(32072 ) Technic Gear 4 Knob". The more important thing is that the knob wheel and the gear wheel are parallel to each other.
While the motor rotates the attachment has 4 points of contact (instead of one or two when two Knob Wheels are in contact) with the robot knob wheel. There are no forces that drive the attachment to jump and lose engagement with the robot.
Here is an idea. What if a robot does not need attachments. What if there is one special attachment on the front that could do most of the work? Probably an attachment that allows you to move a lever in any direction.
This here is a Box Robot with X - Y axys plane. This robot doesn't need active attachments because it has X - Y table that do the job. Imagine that there is a plane on the front of the robot. With the rack mechanism you can move to any coordinates on this plane.
We have a lot of ideas how to make it even better. We will try to release them in the next few versions.
Meet Kiddo, smaller sister of Roller Coaster. It is smaller, easier to build and easier to control box robot with X-Y moving plate.
The goal of this robot is to have one complex attachment that could move in four directions. With such an attachment you can solve a lot of complex tasks without loosing time changing attachments. It is also quite sturdy and packed
With Robotistka we can almost use the full potential of the LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot to prepare for robotics competitions like FIRST LEGO League. It is small, it is a Box Robot, it has two motors at the front and two color sensor for the line.
.
This almost box robot is build from the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor set. The idea behind this robot is to be able to build it from Robot Inventor and to use it during FIRST LEGO League competitions
We experimented with building a box robot powered entirely by chains—a unique approach inspired by the original LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Robots. Chains like these can be hard to find, but we thought: why not try to power both the robot and its attachments with them? This design not only powers the entire robot but also provides a great demonstration of how and when chains can be effectively used in robotics.
To build this robot, you'll need approximately 180 chain links (part 3711a), which are available in the NXT kits and some Technic sets.
Please note that this robot requires additional components beyond those included in the LEGO Education SPIKE Prime and SPIKE Essential kits. Check out the additional parts required.
Thinking about box robots with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime, Boxver is a good example. It is tiny, kind of small and has the brick in a vertical position. Two motors at the front. The goal of this robot is to achieve reliability and consistency of the behavior of the robot.
Here you can find a list of the parts that you'll need to get on top of the SPIKE set 45678 and the expansion set 45680, to build this robot.
This is an attachment for the Kriket Box robot that accomplishes multiple missions. The missions are connected with Push and Collect actions and are from the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWERED competition. The attachment is a little different than the recording because we improved it a little after that
This attachment is a great example for a precise drop attachment. It is designed for the Kriket Box Robot and accomplishes the M14 Toy Factory mission from the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWERED competition.
This attachment helps with the Delivery with Kriket Box Robot. It hold the dinosaur toy while we are carrying it from one end to the other end of the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWERED competition. The attachment is passive and we need it just to be sure that the toy will not fell.
We use this positioning attachment with the Kriket box robot and it's run of five missions in a row
