Classical third wheel for LEGO Mindstorms robots. This construction comes from the NXT world and the wheel is available in the NXT set.
Let's go fast. Large wheels on the back. A lot of torque, small wheels on the front, good aerodynamics. Here we go.
These are building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Drag Car.
This is a simple robot, variation of the Earl bot using treads. You can use the attachment to kick balls sideways. The robot is useful in STEM classes where students have to construct robots quickly.
Instructions for building remote control. It uses the rotation sensor to determine the steering and touch sensor for handling the movement. Find building instructions for a suitable chassis here.
Together the controller and the car look like this:
This is the third version of the LEGO Mindstorms Grabber. This time we use a LEGO EV3 Medium motor and worm gear to make the two levers move smoothly and symmetrically.
This program makes the robot move in a straight line with the use of the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor Motion sensor. It's developed with LEGO Education SPIKE App Word Blocks 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.
Laboratory 2.0 is a second and lighter version of the Laboratory. The new version of the robot replaces its motor with a gyroscope and uses a lightweight flip. Programming this robot requires a well-developed abstract thinking. The main purpose of the robot is to measure the volume of the bubble placed in it only by the values measured by the sensors.
The construction has a valve with which you can let the air out of the balloon at different speeds.
How exactly the balloon is placed in the robot is explained in this lesson.
Value was inspired by the spy vehicle robot. This little robot was built to measure the volume of the room he's in.
This drag car is a two-motor version of the Drag car robot. With more motors comes greater power!
After the success of the original Gazon robot from LEGO Education SPIKE Prime, we've decided the build a similar robot, but from LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor 51515. Teams are participating in the FIRST LEGO League competition with a LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor set and we know it will be helpful. But this robot can not be build from a LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor 51515 as the set has only one Color sensor. We've build a version of the Gazon robot to address this specific limitation.
There is a lot of physics and math involved when learning with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robots. It is generally "difficult" to include them directly during classes because students are coming for "something funnier" and at the same time, they could be of different ages. But Inertia is a pretty common topic that is quite easy to introduce to students, especially with a robot.
The robot moves and stops. What will happen with the cargo when the robot stops? Naturally, the cargo will continue moving and this is dangerous. For how long, what would be the energy? All these are things that could be discussed with this robot.
The robot is not completely finished because you have to finish it and decide on the wheels to be used.
Following the Spy Bot, we have this new Spy Vehicle. Yes, yes it is using an ultrasonic sensor.
The building instructions are for a robot base that looks like a car but is not exactly a car and has a strange shape. Just like spy vehicles - a car, but not only a car and not just a car.
The building instructions are for a robot that kind of looks like the Spy Bot but it has treads instead of wheels. Like a Tank. Tank Spy Bot. Treads are always funny and you could use the robot chassis base to extend with additional attachments and tools.
Do you have some awesome remote controlled racer cars? Have you ever wanted to see which one is faster? Or maybe having a speed race with your homies. You can do all that and much more with this amazing LEGO Mindstorms EV3 radar robot. It will also ring police sirens when you break the speed limit, just know that you're declared WANTED!
An example program for using this robot could be found here.
This robot is a spin-off of the Useless machine built from LEGO Mindstorms EV3. This robots mission is to be the last to press the button it holds.
