This project is for Barco - LEGO Mindstorms EV3 sailboat robot. The project includes two programs.
The first program makes the robot go in a square shape, using the gyro sensor for better accuracy. The second program makes it go in a triangle, again, using the gyro sensor. These programs are a great way to learn how to use the gyro sensor.
A program for the Comet robot.
It uses an Infrared sensor and the Infrared remote control. The program uses the following MyBlocks:
NOTE: The program contains my blocks, that will appear broken if you use any version before 1.3.0 of the EV3 Mindstorms Software
Building instructions for probably the simplest LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Motorcycle that you could think of. Can you think of a simpler? Build it and send it to us.
The motorcycle has one large and one medium motor. Turns are hard, but we will think of solutions for turns. There are also other motorcycles, more complex ones that you could build
This program makes the robot move in a straight line with the user of the EGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor Motion sensor. It's developed with Robot Inventor - LEGO MINDSTORMS App Python and uses a very simple algorithm for moving straight. When the robot moves slightly to the left or right align it face forward. Try to push the robot slightly. See what happens.
The goal of these building instructions is to build a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot without wheels. You should then decide on your own how exactly to add the wheel. Which wheels would you use at the front? How are you going to build the third wheel? Here are some recommendations on building the third wheel - 1,2,3,4
It moves and it collects. It collects objects.
These are building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms robot that could collect objects. It is not actually catching them and that's why we call it "Simple Catch Bot". The general case is to program it to move on the floor and collect some of the Mindstorms wheels and tires coming with the 45544, 45560 or 31313 LEGO sets.
It's fast. It's on two wheels. It's a motorcycle. And this one is built from LEGO Mindstorms EV3 sets with the use of one additional Medium Motor. If you have two medium motors, great. If you don't have you can build the Handlebar - Chopper Motorcycle built with LEGO Mindstorms EV3, because it uses one large and one medium motor that are available in any EV3 set.
Currently, the motorcycle has no sensors. It's more of an exercise in construction, but if you attach sensors and think of a way to attach them send us a picture.
Join the course A robot a "day" keeps the questions awake where we will further discuss the motors, how to build them and what tasks to accomplish with them.
You can also download the program from here.
Take a motorcycle and start removing parts. You get a chopper. Like this one. It is built with LEGO Mindstorms EV3. It has one large and one medium motor. It could kind of turn, but moving forward with it is very funny. There is a "more sports like version" available at Ninja - Sports Motorcycle built with LEGO Mindstorms EV3
Currently, the motorcycle has no sensors. It's more of an exercise in construction, but if you attach sensors and think of a way to attach them send us a picture.

This is the LEGO Mindstorms Education EV3-G software that was available from LEGO until October 2020. It is the version for Windows that is not Electron based and not Scratch based. It had all the good features that LEGO decided to drop and make things "easier" for students and slowly migrate to Scratch. LEGO decided to stop the Mindstorms EV3-G software and they are now (as of October 2020) distributing new versions of EV3-G. They decision affected a lot of schools. The new software is running only on Window 10 and there are lots of schools and teams using and relying on Window 7. We are preserving the version here for teams and students to use.
We can offer no support what's so ever for this version and we are asking LEGO if they are OK with us hosting this version publicly and making it available. Hope they would allow us.

Which wheels would you use on the front? How are you going to build the third wheel? Here are for example a few recommendations on building the third wheel - 1, 2, 3, 4
Later on you can expland this construction with a grabber as demosntrated here.
Building instructions for a competition robot following the "Box robot" principle. The robot is built with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 and could be used at FLL and WRO.
The first thing every student wants to build is a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot with treads. Well, we have one. Take a look. It's really funny.
Can you make it move? Send us a video or picture in the comment section below.
Not all LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Robot should be aligned horizontally or vertically. It is quite possible to have the brick and the motors attached in such a way that the robot is at a certain angle.
This is a very useful small construction that could be used as a base and extended with hands and heads or other interesting ....robot body parts.
"How do you build a forklift using only gear wheels and levers without a rake"... Ok, we would admit that is a difficult question. It even sounds difficult. So let's start with something easy. A LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot. It lifts objects in the air. It uses two gear wheels that work together and then move in different directions and are placed perpendicular to each other... This sentence kind of got difficult again... Let me try again.
Follow the building instructions with these 70+ steps and you will have a very nice robot and you will learn a simple trick of how to use gears and change the directions in which they rotate.
"Bot. Spy Bot."
Many of us are fascinated by the idea of spies. Movies for "spies" are also very popular and if you haven't watched them check out the 007 movies. These here are building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms robot with two touch sensors and one ultrasonic. It could be used as a spy - sneaking closer to you and detecting if you move or if you touch it. The whole idea for this robot came from NXT when there were sound sensors. Currently, there are no sound sensors in the EV3 set, but the robot could again be quite fun to program.
