One more example for an active attachment with a system of gear wheels. This time the system is constructed so that the attachment could lift heavy objects.
Calculate the number of rotations you have to do with the motor to rotate the final small 8 teeth driving gear wheel to 1.25 rotations?
You can collect the car for scrap or repair it. The ELM teams decide to repair it. This requires them to place the engine in the car and it's very interesting to think about this problem.
The attachment builds on previous episodes this time using two LEGO rubber bands. When a lever is released the rubber band exerts pressure on it and moves it in a circular motion. As an example we are solving the 2012 FIRST LEGO League, Senior Solutions, stove mission (which was quite interesting as a mission)
This is the attachment of Team "Nightbeast", with which they :
1. Inserts the Tube Module into the Habitation Hub port, west side
2. Move all four Core Samples so they are no longer touching the axle that held them in the Core Site Model
3. Place the Gas Core Sample completely in Base
From missions M05 and M06 from FLL Into Orbit Challenge
This attachment presents a way to mechanically align the robot to a mission model and solves the Cloud mission from FLL 2014.
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
You think that you can quickly change the attachments of your LEGO Mindstorms EV3 competition robot? Are you sure? In this first episode of the series you will see how to create and attach attachments without using pins and how faster and easier this could be. You will see the design logic of a few attachments and how they work on the field.
One attachment to rule them all...We have seen it and it works -> solving most of the competition models with only one attachment. In this video tutorial without programming we would walk you through the principles and methods of using a single attachment for most of the FIRST LEGO League competition models. One can learn alot from using as few parts as possible to solve as many missions as possible.
This is an pinless robot attachment designed for taking loops. It's built with LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor parts and it demonstrates how to collect a loop while moving with the robot. The attachment is designed for Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions. There are other attachments that are designed for taking a loop and locking it so that it does not fall, but they are more complex. Search for 'Carabiner' at FLLCasts.com
LEGO Attachment user for throwing/shooting a ball. It is powered with one motor and uses the fact that the parts of the LEGO set could bend. Build and experiment with it. Many FIRST LEGO League competitions have missions that could be accomplished with attachments that throw/shoot
“Doing the same with less” can save time and space.
We start with the first mission - trying to build attachments that are small and tidy and the Gazon robot allows us to do so. With a few pictures you can see how the robot should be placed along with all the attachments
In this video tutorial we accomplish the Basketball mission 10 out of 10 times. We use one of the more complex attachments for the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay competition. You will see an learn how to successfully and consistently complete a mission that requires the robot to put a ball into a basket and lift the basket, or lift the basket and put the ball into it.
An attachment for accomplishing the Cargo Connect M01 innovation project model mission. It is used to guide the mission model.>
In this course, we demonstrate and explain example solutions for the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Cargo Connect competition. Just like every year, we share solutions only after the season is over. In this course, you will find examples and principles of building attachments and will learn how to program consistent and reliable robots for each mission. You can follow the course, and as you go through each mission, try to replicate the solutions to understand the programs and explanations. Upon completion of the course, you will have many new ideas about how to approach the missions in every FLL robotics competition and how to help your team score more points.
Before starting this course, we suggest you go through the FIRST LEGO League robot game guide
This is an attachment for accomplishing missions from FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPER POWERED competition. We use this attachment additionally to another one that you can see the the lessons for this attachment. The goal is to execute the actions of Push and Collect, and this is the perfect passive attachment for this.
This attachment is accomplishing three missions from the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024. It is for the Chain Monster Robot. It solve mission 11 - Light show. It partially solves mission 14 - Audience delivery.
This attachment for the Nautiq robot is designed to accomplish M15 Research Vessel in the FIRST LEGO League 2024‑2025 SUBMERGED competition. It includes one detachable part: the hook is removed after collecting the Research Vessel, and the remaining part is used to deliver it to its target location.
This simple active pinless attachment for the Nautiq robot is designed specifically to accomplish mission M08 Artificial Habitat in the FIRST LEGO League 2024‑2025 SUBMERGED challenge. It offers a minimalist, efficient mechanism ideal for reliably completing the mission. No motors are required—setup is quick and intuitive. The compact design ensures stable performance and easy integration with the Nautiq robot.
This set of two attachments for the Nautiq robot is designed to solve multiple missions from the FIRST LEGO League 2024‑2025 SUBMERGED competition. It completes M05 Angler Fish, collects 4 Krills for M12 Feed the Whale, gathers all Reef Segments for M03 Coral Reef, and collects all Samples for M14 Sample Collection. The two-attachment design allows for efficient execution of multiple tasks in a single run.
