Building instructions for the robot used in WRO 2014. It is a small robot with two light sensors and could be used for collecting elements. 

The robot is built from LEGO Mindstorms EV3 parts. 

Building instructions for the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Catapult. The robot has a motor, a clutch to control it for manual shooting and a touch sensor for automatic loading. The bottom base is removed which means the Catapult could not be turned around. Nevertheless, the baseless robot is small enough to be built in class.

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

Building instructions for LEGO EV3 robot with color wheel that can be rotated through the medium motor. The color wheel is at the front of the robot while there is a color sensor at the back. The color sensor could read the color from another robot. The robot can be used in classes with students to play the telephone game.

An example of a program for controlling the robot could be found at https://www.fllcasts.com/programs/kmeat9-ev3-g-myblock-for-rotating-the-color-wheel-randomly

Dominator is a compact LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Box robot from the family of the Roller Coaster and Kiddo box robots. Similar to the previous two robots, Dominator also can move its front part up, down, left and right. This robot also has the same length of movement as its two predecessors of this type - 8 LEGO pins on the side and up.

The difference is that Dominator has fewer parts and has a perfect center of weight that allows it to use large attachments and lift heavy objects without threatening its stability. The movement on the X and Y axes has the same gear ratio. The light sensors are attached to the movable part of the robot which enables it to both follow a line and recognize the color of various object with height lower than 7 LEGO units.

This is the simplest possible line following robot. It has just one sensor in the front between the two driving wheels and uses beams as pivots instead of a third wheel. Try it out. Follow the building instructions and start following lines in a number of minutes.

Building instructions for a simple LEGO EV3 robot built using two large motors and a color sensor. The robot is compact which makes it perfect for following a line. Note that the motors are upside down, which will make the robot go backward when we program it to go forward.

Cody is a robot, designed to move in a straight line. It has a single motor, rotating two wheels. Behind the motor, Cody holds a Color Sensor. These two combined could be programmed to work as a barcode reader, measuring the length of any color beneath the robot.

The Swing Game is a SPIKE Prime robot designed as a two-player game. The goal is for both LEGO figures to reach the center of the swing without tipping it over to either side. Each LEGO figure is mounted on a motor connected to a Technic gear rack, allowing it to move along the swing. The motors are controlled separately—one by a color sensor and the other by a Large Motor. If one player moves too far ahead without the other keeping up, the swing will tip... and it’s game over! Good luck, and have fun!

Calix comes from Latin, meaning cup.

Calix is a robot designed to carry small objects—like a cup—while autonomously following a black line. When most people think about robotics, they imagine machines helping with household chores. Calix is a simple example of that vision brought to life. You can place a cup on it in the kitchen, and it will deliver the cup to the end of the black line!

The robot is powered by two SPIKE Prime medium motors for movement, and it uses a color sensor to follow the line precisely. At the front, a large motor connected to a gear system lifts and lowers the cup, allowing for easy pickup and delivery.

Calix is an elegant demonstration of how even simple robots can be designed to perform useful tasks—making robotics more approachable and practical for everyday life.

Pallo, from Ancient Greek, means "to throw" or "to hurl"—a root of the modern word "catapult".

Pallo is a robot made of two parts. The first part is the catapult! It contains no electronic components and uses two rubber bands to launch a projectile toward the second part. The second part is the target. It features a color sensor which, using a piston with differently colored sections, detects how accurately the target has been hit. Good luck with the shooting!

Motorka, from Czech, means "motorbike".

Motorka is a motorbike-style robot with three wheels: two at the back and one at the front for steering. The rear wheels are powered by two medium motors, while the front steering wheel is driven by a large motor.

The robot uses various parts from the SPIKE Prime base set to resemble a real motorbike. For example, at the front it has a color sensor that serves as the headlight!

This incredibly compact SPIKE Prime Box Robot is made for competitions like FIRST LEGO League (FLL) and World Robotics Olympiad (WRO). Whakatae (from Maori's word "whakataetae", which means "competitive") is long 17 LEGO units and is with a width of 15 LEGO units. In front of the wheels it has two color sensors which it uses to align. Whakatae also has two Large motors for moving and has two medium motors for attachments!

It's has "V2" in its name, because it's the second version of Whakatae - LEGO Education SPIKE Prime Competition Box robot. The difference between the two is that the first one can be built with only a Large Motor and a Color sensor in addition to the Base set, while this one needs an additional ball bearing. This provides this robot with a lot more stability and can be seen as a true upgrade to the first version.
