This is an attachment that could be easily detached after a mission is accomplished. It's built with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime parts and it demonstrates an important principle for building attachments for robotics competitions like FIRST LEGO League/World Robotics Olympiad and others. You move with the robot, you complete the mission and you leave the attachment on the field when the mission is completed. In this way you save time when adding the attachment as it is most of the time pinless and takes a fraction of a second to put it. The attachment is designed for Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions. Check the courses in which this attachment is used for more information and tutorials on how to use it.

This is an attachment is designed for Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions. On a robot most of the time you place attachments on the front/side/top. These instructions show how to build an attachment that could be placed on the front of the robot. The idea is to demonstrate the principle and you can expand and build a more specific attachment for the mission that you are accomplishing.

The Bench mission in FIRST LEGO League 2020 was one of the more complex missions during the competition. It involved two things - lifting part of the mission model and bringing it back to base and in the same time dropping 4 different boxes which was difficult to achieve. We came up with two solutions for SPIKE Prime and for Robot Inventor and this is the Robot Inventor solution. Take a look. You will learn how to build complex attachments doing more than one thing at a time.

This is an pinless robot attachment designed for taking loops. It's built with LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor 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 attachments 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

This is a heavy lifting attachment and it can lift mission models vertically. It is build entirely from LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor 51515 parts. This is one of the more complex and interesting attachments that we demonstrate in the course and it show how a few gear wheels and levers could be used to change the motion from circular to linear. This is powerful concept that could be very valuable during FIRST LEGO League competitions.

LEGO Attachment user for throwing/shooting a ball. It is powered with one motor and uses the fact that the parts of the LEGO set could bend. Build and experiment with it. Many FIRST LEGO League competitions have missions that could be accomplished with attachments that throw/shoot
