• LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3

Chronos means time in Greek.

What's the time? Time to build a cool robot! This robot is made to look like a clock. The two hands are each connected to a motor and are positioned between the two motors. This makes it simple to build, while also being effective in showing how a clock works.

An example program moving the seconds and minutes hands of the clock can be found here.

An example program designed to teach children to read the clock can be found here.

This is a robot, designed to easily lift a cup, while still holding it upright. The robot uses one motor attached to the brick to lift the cup to any angle you want. The cup we have added is purely cosmetic, but with a few adjustments, you can make it lift real cups. Be careful around liquids though!

This robot is made to serve the best tea in the whole continent! It is based on the Easy Bot from EV3. As its predecessor it is based on LEGO Mindstorms EV3. It uses two large motors to move around. The best part of the robot is the cup holder, that has a cool cup that shows the KISS principle.

The kinesthetic and memory game works with a program you can download from here. In these instructions you will see the 7 modules from which it is built:

• Touch sensor module;

• Ultrasonic module;

• Gyro module;

• Color module;

• Lever module;

• Medium motor module;

• Base module.

This robot is meant to be very modular and to enable its owner to upgrade it and modify it.

This module is meant to be used in EV3 Kinesthetic and Memory Game and is attached to the base of the robot. This module uses the rotation sensor in the medium motor to detect how much the players had turned its wheel.

This module is meant to be used in EV3 Kinesthetic and Memory Game and is attached to the base of the robot. This module uses the gyro sensor to detect when it is hit, by observing the angular rate.

This module is meant to be used in EV3 Kinesthetic and Memory Game and is attached to the base of the robot. This module uses the rotary sensor, embedded in every motor, to detect when the player has pulled the lever.

This module is meant to be used in EV3 Kinesthetic and Memory Game and is attached to the base of the robot. This is the simplest module for constructing and programming. At the bottom, a channel is left for the cable to pass through.

This is the base module of EV3 Kinesthetic and Memory Game. The goal of this module is to present a variety of places for the rest of the modules to be attached.

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!

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.

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. 

Iknathir from armenian means aircraft carrier.

The robot is made to resemble an aircraft carrier. It shoots paper airplanes using two fast spinning wheels. The wheels are connected to a gear up mechanisms which are connected to two Large motors. The motors themselves are connected to a medium motor, which allows them to move towards and outwards the plane so when they reach it, they are spinning at full speed. The plane is placed on a runway which leads it to launch successfully. On the side of the robot, there is a lever with a gyro sensor, which is used to trigger the launching mechanism. 

Uylam is a robot that simulates a stormy environment for its ship. It is made using two piston-like mechanisms powered by a Large motor and offset by 90 degrees to create shaking similar to that of big waves. The ship itself is made out of a medium motor on a turntable and a gyro sensor attached to them. The purpose of this is to explore what is the best position of a ship compared to the waves, so that it sustains the least amount of shaking.

Rollbar is a handy device, which only purpose is to measure lengths. Its main purpose is to measure curved lines.

It's designed for right-handed people, but with some small adjustments, it could fit any palm.

The Laboratory is a robot that tests your programming skills. You will have to measure the volume of a balloon, only by the values you receive from the sensors. 

It has a valve, that allows you to deflate your balloon at different rates.

How to place the balloon in the robot is explained in this tutorial.

Gen comes from Gendema, a bulgarian late 80s rock band, popular with its song about pedalos.

The robot uses two EV3 Large motors to move, but instead of wheels it uses four-legged paddles, attached to the motors. This makes it look like a pedalo. Additionally it slides on the ground much like a real pedalo on the water.

Because of the strange mechanism of movement, the robot has a gyro sensor to help it keep a straight line.

Barco from spanish means boat.

The robot is made to look like a sail ship. The sails are made out of technic panels, attached in various ways to create the best look. Otherwise the robot uses two motors with tyres to move. At the back of the robot there is a Gyro sensor, which helps it maneuver.

Hrutur, from Icelandic, means Ram.

The robot is made to resemble a Ram. Its main focus are the gears, which make it go faster so that it can ram harder. It uses two Large EV3 motors to power the gear systems. At the front it has an Ultrasonic sensor for aesthetic purposes, which you can use however you like.

The robot is used in Lesson 6 for Level D1.
