This module is made to look and move like the beak of a bird! It uses two technic steering links powered by a medium motor to close and open! It can be combined with other modules to make the best bird robot! This module is a part of Lintu - a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Kiwi bird robot.
This is a module that is made to look like a mantis' pincers and head. The pincers are powered by a medium motor and the head has an ultrasonic sensor for eyes. This module is used in Mantissa, a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 mantis robot.
This module is made to look and move like a real ship's sails! The module consists of two masts that are connected so that they move together. The back mast is connected to a medium motor that can move all sails and is also connected to a gyro sensor, that can detect if the whole ship is rotated. This module is used in Yolanda - LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Sailship robot.
This is a module that looks like a fish's head. It uses a touch sensor for a mouth and is otherwise purely cosmetic. The module is used in Piscis - a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Fish robot.
This LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot chassis has the brick positioned vertically. Interesting idea that could be very useful.
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 is a module that is made to look like a polar bear head, but really it could be used for many animals. It uses a medium motor to bite and an ultrasonic sensor for eyes. We have labeled it a polar bear head, because it is used in Polar Bear - LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Robot that looks like a polar bear.
Building instructions for the EasyBot LEGO Mindstorms robot using in many of our courses and tutorials. This EasyBot has two motors and two front wheels. The third wheel is...well, check it out, see how the third wheel is built.
Building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Robot that we call CastorBot, because it uses the castor ball.
Classical third wheel for LEGO Mindstorms robots. This construction comes from the NXT world and the wheel is available in the NXT set.
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.
