Building Instructions

Drawing on how to cut a pipe to be able to collect and store balls in this pipe. The sheet format is ISO A4 and the drawing size is real (100% scale)

Instructions for building a steering chassis from LEGO EV3 Mindstorms. It uses EV3 Large motor to power the rear wheels and EV3 Medium motor for the steering mechanism. Find building instructions for the remote control here.

This here is a base for a robot that has the brick Upside Down. Have you seen Stranger Things? We would admit that this robot does not look exactly like a 'Demogorgon', but this here is the challenge. Can you use this base and make the robot look like a Demogorgon. Add a picture to the comments section below the material.

Do you have other ideas for Demogorgon? Build them with LEGO and add a picture below this material or send it to [email protected]. We would feature it at FLLCasts.com.

Instructions for building remote control. It uses the rotation sensor to determine the steering and touch sensor for handling the movement. Find building instructions for a suitable chassis here. 

Together the controller and the car look like this:

Attachment used to transfer the motion from the motor from a vertical axle to a horizontal axle. Uses two gear wheels. Could be built with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 and LEGO Mindstorms NXT kits.   

This is a self aligning passive attachment for rendezvous and meeting between the tube module and the habitation hub.

The program for this attachment is Self Aligning Module Attacher for M06 - Space Station Modules.

There is another program at Self Aligning Module Attacher for M06 - Space Station Modules - another program.

This is a blueprint of dimensions of the FTC 200 mm axle.

Building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Robot that we call CastorBot, because it uses the castor ball. 

Building instructions for the most simple grabber using just one Large EV3 LEGO motor. It has one static lever and one active lever.

Building instructions for a VEX IQ attachment for throwing balls with rubber bands.

The building guide for the FIRST Technical Challenge Push Bot build with the Tetrix set

Frame for adding attachments on the robot. When using a frame it is very easy to quickly add and remove pinless attachments from the robot. The whole frame could be removed.

The frame contains parts from LEGO Mindstorms EV3.

Robot attachment that shows you how a circular motion could be transferred to linear by using a gear and a rack. The final motion is for pushing and pulling things. 

The attachment could be built from LEGO Mindstorms EV3 and NXT parts. 

This is the third version of the LEGO Mindstorms Grabber. This time we use a LEGO EV3 Medium motor and worm gear to make the two levers move smoothly and symmetrically.

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

The central axle of the robot is most of the time the most important. The robot moves forward and does things with this axle. It is important to learn to you could extend such axles, and change the level and position of the extensions.

This is a LEGO Mindstorms EV3/NXT robot attachment. 

This is version 2 of the LEGO Mindstorms Grabber. It makes use of 4 gears to make both levers active.  

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.

Building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Robot that we call the Five Minute Bot because it could be built in Five Minutes.

Note: If the robot is making inconsistent turns due to the floor, modify the castor wheel so it is placed further back in the construction. Thus the center of mass falls more over the tires and the turns are more consistent.
