Building Instructions

Kiril Mitov's most favourite attachment. To quote him "I had a really great fun building this attachment and recording the videos for it".

It's an attachment with a Rubber band and a Flywheel and a Gear Wheel and a Worm Gear. So much knowledge in just one small attachment. The goal of the attachment is to be able to have an active attachment without actually having a motor. So you can place that attachment and it will do the work for you instead of using a motor to power it. 

Build with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 set. 

When placing the rubber bands check out the tutorials

Placing the white rubber band is shown at https://www.fllcasts.com/tutorials/105-rubber-band-attachment-with-a-flywheel-solving-fll-2014-search-engine-part-2 at around 05:40.

The Sports Utility Vehicle box robot is the new marvelous box robot that we've created. It is designed for teams that would like to learn how to build balanced, stable and working robot chassis following our box principle. It is smaller and easier to build than box robot 1 and it is more simple than box robot 2. 

The main advantages of this robot compared to previous box robots are 

 - motors in the right direction, so when rotating the motor forward, the robot moves forward.

 - it is much easier to attach attachments. There are 4 different gears on which you could attach attachments. 

 - it has a large clearance - which means that it could move over obstacles.

Of course, it has a Gyro and two Color Sensors.  Not only that, but we have all the cables shown in the construction.

When not to use this robot?

The SUV Box robot is design to be used with a Gyro sensor and two Color Sensors for alignment. It is not working well for following lines as the sensors are very high and they are very high to allow for high clearance of the chassis. If you need to follow lines we recommend the Dominator X-Y robot

This attachment have a guider mechanism that align the robot to the attachment. The attachment woks with SUV Box Robot.

This is a carabiner attachment for taking loops. It is built with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime parts and it demonstrates how to successfully take loops. The goal of the attachment is to lock the loop after it catches it. The attachment is designed for Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions

This is an pinless robot attachment designed for taking loops. It's built with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime parts and it demonstrates how to collect a loop while moving with the robot. The attachment is designed for Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions. There are other attachment that are designed for taking a loop and locking it so that it does not fall, but they are more complex. Search for 'Carabiner' at FLLCasts.com

Attachment for grabbing loops build from LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor 51515 set. We use this robot attachment to accomplish missions with loops at FIRST LEGO League. Well, we use the principle, that is what's important. Check out the attachment and the course to understand the principle of grabbing loops.

This is an attachment for the Kriket box robot. It demonstrates how to build attachments that glide over the robot, are pinless and could be quickly and easily replaced and changed with another attachment. This attachment also lifts. Quite cool. Quite cool.

The MiniBox box robot features a unique design with three perpendicularly rotating gearwheels, which simplifies the attachment design process. This setup allows teams to easily create and connect attachments on multiple sides, making it quick to adjust the robot for various tasks.

Its structure includes walls with a maximum attachable surface area, offering flexibility in attachment placement. This extensive surface allows for secure connections, so teams can experiment with different attachment configurations.

The MiniBox’s compact size is best suited for smaller, lightweight attachments. When working with larger attachments, its balance and stability can be affected, limiting its effectiveness in tasks that require more substantial setups.

Building instructions for the LEGO Mindstorms robot attachment used at the FIRST LEGO League Natures Fury Competition. This robot attachment takes two of the building and moves them without demolishing them. It is a good example of the use of gear wheels and worm gear. The gear wheels move levers in opposite directions. 

Attachment frames are used on Base Robot Chassis to make it easier to add and remove attachments very fast. This frame is for the Box Robot 1. It is a single module build with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 parts and it could handle attachment on all sides. 

Interesting and useful attachment for dropping a LEGO human at a specific location. It uses a lever and a gear wheel. When the lever is pressed the wheel rotates.

The attachment is constructed from LEGO Mindstorms EV3 sets.

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.

Here is an idea. What if a robot does not need attachments. What if there is one special attachment on the front that could do most of the work? Probably an attachment that allows you to move a lever in any direction.

This here is a Box Robot with X - Y axys plane. This robot doesn't need active attachments because it has X - Y table that do the job. Imagine that there is a plane on the front of the robot. With the rack mechanism you can move to any coordinates on this plane. 

We have a lot of ideas how to make it even better. We will try to release them in the next few versions.

Meet Kiddo, smaller sister of Roller Coaster. It is smaller, easier to build and easier to control box robot with X-Y moving plate.

The goal of this robot is to have one complex attachment that could move in four directions. With such an attachment you can solve a lot of complex tasks without loosing time changing attachments. It is also quite sturdy and packed

With this attachment we complete the Elevator and Steel construction for the FIRST LEGO League 2019-2020 competition. The attachment is placed on the Whakatae - LEGO Education SPIKE Prime Competition Box robot
