Building Instructions -

• LEGO MINDSTORMS

Background

Soon after a launch, rocket engines often separate away from spacecraft by design, but that’s long before the spacecraft leaves the pull of gravity. So why doesn’t the spacecraft fall back to earth?

Mission

The robot needs to impact the strike pad hard enough to keep the spacecraft from dropping back down.

Scores

• Get the spacecraft to go so fast and high that it stays up, by pressing/hitting the strike pad: 24
• Possible scores: 0, 24

Scoring Requirements

• The result must be visible at the end of the match.
• Activate the spacecraft by pressing/hitting the strike pad. > Only allowed method. Must be observed by the referee.

If you take a look at the videos for this attachment you will see a nice idea on taking the track and the ambulance. These two vehicles from the FIRST LEGO League 2013 competition had to be collected and returned back to base.

Built from LEGO Mindstorms EV3 parts.

Building instruction for the power switch mission model. The model is used in the Power supply mission of FLLCasts Off-season Challenge 2019.

 

These are instructions on how to build the:

This is a module containing two sets of three legs to make the ideal hexapod insect! The two sets are each powered by a large EV3 motor which are connected in various ways to the three legs to move them like a real bug! You can combine this module with others to build a bug robot.

Background

The chance of a “serious” meteoroid hitting earth in our lifetime is extremely low, but it’s not zero, and the devastation could truly wipe us out. How will scientists and engineers keep us safe?

Mission

From west of the free-line, send one or both meteoroids independently to the meteoroid catcher. “Independently”: see also M01, Section “Scoring Requirements”.

Scores

• Meteoroid(s) touch(es) the mat in the centre section of the meteoroid catcher: 12 each
• Meteoroid(s) touch(es) the mat in either side section of the meteoroid catcher: 8 each
• Possible scores: 0, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24

Scoring Requirements

• The result must be visible at the end of the match.
• The meteoroids need to be sent over the free-line to touch the mat in the meteoroid catcher > Only allowed method. Must be observed by the referee.
• The meteoroids must be hit/released while they are clearly and completely west of the free-line. > Only allowed method. Must be observed by the referee.
• While between hit/release and scoring position, the meteoroid must be clearly independent. > Only allowed method. Must be observed by the referee.
• If ever the ring-set meteoroid is off its ring, you may remove the ring from the field by hand. This is a special exception to the rules.

This is a cool scissor mechanism that looks like the sting of a scorpion. It is powered by a medium motor and at the top there is a touch sensor, to detect if something has been stung! The sting is used in Scorpion - LEGO EV3 Robot.

This is a module that is made to look like a polar bear head, but really it could be used for many animals. It uses a medium motor to bite and an ultrasonic sensor for eyes. We have labeled it a polar bear head, because it is used in Polar Bear - LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Robot that looks like a polar bear.

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

Building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot that could be completed in about 3 minutes. Could you do it? Try it. 

We use this robot when we need something very fast for a demonstration or a small competition. Just attach the motors and you are ready. It is fast.

Advanced LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Construction. It has two rear motors and it could rotate the whole from part. It has 4 wheels and is kind of like unique in the Mindstorms world.

Building instructions are not very easy and you need LEGO Education Core and Extension Sets - 45544 and 45560. 

Apart from being advanced, it is also quite fun to try to build.

These are instructions on how to build the:

This is the field used in FLLCasts Off-season Challenge 2019. The pdf should be downloaded and printed 1:1. It is best if it is printed on durable canvas such as vinyl. Although we do not recomend it, the field can be printed on regular paper.

This is the attachment of Team "Nightbeast", with which they :
1. Inserts the Tube Module into the Habitation Hub port, west side 
2. Move all four Core Samples so they are no longer touching the axle that held them in the Core Site Model
3. Place the Gas Core Sample completely in Base
From missions M05 and M06 from FLL Into Orbit Challenge
 

This is a little robot that doesn't like its switch touched. It will return the switch back every time it's touched and react in a variety of ways.

The program for controlling the robot is available at /programs/wc7iqy-program-for-ev3-finger-bot
