Build a similar mechanism to this one. Similar, but for your robot. This is the task for you. Try, give yourself half and hour or even an hour.

Given the large number of gear wheels and axles in each EV3 and NXT sets there are many possibilities for building gear mechanisms. We are developing something like a gear box that has different axles that could all turn in different directions.

What should you do as a teacher when the students are calculating the gear ratios and number of needed rotations?

In the previous video, we found the correct answer for our task and it is 18.75, or is it?

How great is the great attachment for lifting that we built in this course? How many times can it lift the robot without making an error? How great are your attachments and how could you test them? - the answer is simple. Just try 10 times and they should work at least 9 of them as our attachment is.

Next robot construction for holding and releasing balls from this container. In this video we discuss the improvements and how to use the chains to release one ball at a time.

Starting with the World Robotics Olympiad 2014 Junior-High challenge we first catch the object on our path. We discuss a good mechanism for catching and lifting balls that can do two movements with one motor. 

The task in this tutorial is to execute the program 10 times and to do it yourself. If you have your attachment then use it. If you have our attachment then use it. But execute the program 10 times and make sure that it works. 

What should you as a teacher know when the students are trying to achieve a program and robot attachment that could reproduce their behaviour 9 out of 10 times. 

Extend the previously build attachment for the FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Nature's Fury competition so that we can move the Truck and Ambulance up and down. 

How to control the arm of the push bot using the two triggers on the GamePad of the FTC Push Bot? 

One of the most interesting challenges in the series of FLL Competitions. Move a block and add additional floor on top of the block without damaging the construction. In this tutorial we would focus only this mission and we would achieve two movements with only one motor which makes the attachment quite powerful.

This is a 10 out of 10 tutorial demonstrating the accuracy of a Flip Attachment for the FIRST LEGO League 2020 Cell Phone Mission. The flip attachment flips a phone. Moves forward and flip it. This is a tricky business. It might not work. The trick is to approach the mission model from the right angle. In the tutorial you will see a demonstration and will learn how such a mission could be accomplished accurately with a LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor robot and attachment with gear wheels.

Accuracy and consistency is the topic of this tutorial, as all 10 out of 10 tutorials are at FLLCasts. We use a robot build only from LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor parts and we accomplish the mission 10 out of 10 times. You will see how we use an active gear attachment to catch the wheel and pull it to the black circle, which accomplishes the mission

A clutch is a mechanical device that is used for engaging or disengaging power transmission. Now we will see how we can make such a device using LEGO.
