Building Instructions

For the FIRST LEGO League 2016-2017 Animal Allies we prepared an attachment for lifting the robot. The idea of the attachment is to show how you could lift the whole robot with a system of gear wheels, levers, and scissors constructions.

Built mainly from LEGO Mindstorms EV3 parts but could probably be constructed from NXT sets.

This robot attachment shows you how to limit the rotation of a lever. It uses two gear wheels to transfer the motion on 90 degrees. 

It could be built with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 and NXT versions. Most of the time during competitions like FIRST LEGO League and World Robotics Olympiad you need a lever for just a limited motion

Building instructions for a Light LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Competition Robot that could be used in LEGO Robotics competitions. Compared with previous versions of this robot, this one has a Gyro Sensor. 

Bowling pins mission model reworked from a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 version available at Bowling pins mission models. FLLCasts Off-season Challenge 2019 to a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime version available in this material. You can follow the same construction to assemble as many pins as you need. In 3D building instructions for you to construct them.

This is a robot attachment built only with parts from LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor Set. The goal of the attachment is to accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay mission call Treadmill. The attachment has two gear wheels that could transfer the power from the motors to the wheel. The wheel is the one that is accomplishing the mission as it rotates and rotates. The attachment is pinless.

This is a robot attachment build only from LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor parts and it is used to accomplish the Weight Machine mission at the FIRST LEGO League 2020 competition. It is not a completely accurate attachment but it shows a good idea on how to accomplish the mission.

This is a flip attachment. Arguably the flip missions are some of the most interesting on FLL competitions. The purpose of this attachment is to accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2020 Cell Phone Mission. It contains two four gear wheels. It is an active attachment. It changes the direction with gear wheels. There is a lot one could learn from such an attachment. It is also build only from parts in the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor Set.

In 3D building instructions for you to construct them.

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.

When you need a LEGO robot attachment to lift heavy things on the competition field. Probably at FIRST LEGO League or World Robotics Olympiad. This attachment uses 4-5 gear wheels to lift a heavy object.

Build with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 parts. 

Dominator is a compact LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Box robot from the family of the Roller Coaster and Kiddo box robots. Similar to the previous two robots, Dominator also can move its front part up, down, left and right. This robot also has the same length of movement as its two predecessors of this type - 8 LEGO pins on the side and up.

The difference is that Dominator has fewer parts and has a perfect center of weight that allows it to use large attachments and lift heavy objects without threatening its stability. The movement on the X and Y axes has the same gear ratio. The light sensors are attached to the movable part of the robot which enables it to both follow a line and recognize the color of various object with height lower than 7 LEGO units.

With this LEGO robot attachment from LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor we accomplish the Rowing Machine from FIRST LEGO League 2020. The attachment works like a hook that catches the wheel of the Rowing Machine mission model and pulls on it. There are gear wheels that transfer the power from the robot motors to the hook at the end. This attachment shows the principle of catching things

This 3D instruction is a LEGO alternative model similar to the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Cargo Connect Crane mission model. It's build from parts that are available in LEGO Education SPIKE Prime and LEGO Mindstorms EV3.
