Building Instructions

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

This was an idea. You would we demonstration a multi-axle power and rotation transmitting box. Well, here it is. Build it. Start it. And see how the power from the motor is transmitted through different axles. The lever will demonstrate it.

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 is an active attachment. Active means that is is power by a motor. It's built with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime parts and it demonstrates how to build a lifting attachment for competitions in robotics like FIRST LEGO League/World Robotics Olympiad and others. Lifting is one of the most important parts when accomplishing missions at the competitions. What's interesting is that this attachment changes the orientation of rotation with it's gears. It 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 the first type of an active geared attachment. "Active" means that is is power by a motor. "Geared" means that it use gears. "Reusable" means that you can easily extend the attachment with additional parts - eg - you can reuse it. It shows a basic principle of how power is transferred between different axles that have different orientation in space- like when one of the axles is horizontal and the other is vertical. It's built with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime parts and could be used in competitions in robotics like FIRST LEGO League/World Robotics Olympiad and others. It's designed for Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions.

This is the robot that we use to demonstrate a solution for competition. This is a Post season solution. We never release any solutions during the season as this will have a negative impact on the competition. But after the competition we try to make a review and to see how we could have accomplish it. Our goal is to be better for next year.

This robot is quite powerful. The attachment mechanism on the front is one of a kind as it can do several things with a single motor: it can lift, it can unlock, it can grab. All of this thanks to the unique mechanism of gears
