Building Instructions

These are building instruction for a working automatic catapult with a motor and a touch sensor.

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.

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.

Building instructions for constructing a simple LEGO Model that has red, green, blue and yellow beams. This makes it perfect for operating robots through color code.

A turtle robot with 2 sensors- ultrasonic and gyro, capable of following her course and navigating through anything. Just don't annoy it, or it will hide in its shell or even come and bite you.

Background

Space stations allow us to learn about and even practice living in space, but improved technology and new international partners require modules to be easily interchangeable.

Mission

The robot needs to remove and insert modules among the habitation hub’s portholes.

Scores

• Move the cone module completely into the base: 16
• Insert the tube module into the habitation hub port, west side: 16
• Transfer/insert the docking module into the habitation hub port, east side: 14
• Possible scores: 0, 16, 32, 46

Scoring Requirements

• Results must be visible at the end of the match.
• Inserted modules must not be touching anything except the habitation hub. > Needs to be visible at the end of the match.

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 

"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.

These are building instructions for a LEGO WeDo 2.0 Small Creatuer

This attachment accomplishes the Into Orbit Space Walk Emergency mission from the FIRST LEGO League Into Orbit 2017-2018 competitions. The base robot is the SUV Competition Box Robot from LEGO Mindstorms EV3.

The program for this attachment is at Programs/w415dz-fll-2018-attachment-to-accomplish-the-into-orbit-space-walk-emergency-07-robot-game-missions-program.

Soon we would publish and a video of how the attachment works. 

The GorillaBot walks on its two arms, using two large motors as forearms. It also has this awesome head, which actually is pretty useless as an ultrasonic sensor, unless you lift its eyebrows.

This robot is for learning at home when you have time and energy. It is like having a motorcycle on your own - you spend a lot of time working on your motorcycle, you love it, it takes care, it takes patience. This robot has 300 steps in the building instructions. We've heard a lot of parents with students telling stories how their student could build anything from LEGO on their own. This motorcycle with a cart surely would be a challenge for them. Send us pictures when they are done.

Demo programs for this motorcycle are here.

Building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Active attachment for changing gear orientations

Maze Runners are one of the very popular robotics competitions. But there are a lot of limits that the robots must comply with. Like the size of the robot. 

This here are building instructions for a very small maze runner robot, build with LEGO Mindstorms EV3. It uses two tires that are technic and not Mindstorms simply because none of the Mindstorms tires fit the size limit. 

The robot has an Ultrasonic sensor and a Gyro sensor at the top. 

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.

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.

Do you have some awesome remote controlled racer cars? Have you ever wanted to see which one is faster? Or maybe having a speed race with your homies. You can do all that and much more with this amazing LEGO Mindstorms EV3 radar robot. It will also ring police sirens when you break the speed limit, just know that you're declared WANTED!

An example program for using this robot could be found here.

Playing Football with robots is extremely fun. It could be part of the classes, it could be part of demonstration days. This is the goal keeper.

Instructions for building a LEGO truck. We use a medium motor for steering and a large motor for driving one of the rear wheels.

The building instructions are for a robot that kind of looks like the Spy Bot but it has treads instead of wheels. Like a Tank. Tank Spy Bot. Treads are always funny and you could use the robot chassis base to extend with additional attachments and tools.
