In order to build the robot, you need to follow the instructions in the materials section.

How to follow a 3D material

On each step you will see a list of the required parts in the top left corner You will be given the length of the elements and the number of identical parts you will need.
In the middle of the screen you will see how to attach the parts one to another.

Sometimes there will be no parts shown in the top left corner. Then you will just have to turn the robot into a new position.
Usually, the first and the final step show the assembled robot.

Make sure that parts in your hands are always oriented in the same way as those on the page!

How to manage the image

Use the keyboard arrow keys to move to the next or previous step.
You can use the left mouse button to roll the construction so that you can examine it.
You can use the right mouse button to move the construction to the left or right.
You can use the scroll wheel to zoom out and zoom in the image.
Below the instructions you can find the "Autorotate", button which disables the automatic rotation of the camera. You can experiment when it is better to keep this option disabled or enabled. The default setting of the option is enabled.

Easy Bot from EV3

Building instructions for the Easy Bot built with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 parts. This LEGO robot is suitable for classes with students in robotics and is one of the first robots that we build. It takes about 10-20 minutes to be constructed by first-time participants.

English

In this module we'll build the Easy Bot and it's a very nice robot. The reason for building is because we can accomplish some of our tasks with this robot. Let's look at how we build this robot.

What you have to understand is this robot comes in parts. Disassembled like this on very small parts. And we'll take a look at some of the parts. These parts are in the Lego Mindstorms EV3 set. And with these parts we construct the robot. For constructing the robot we follow the instructions. And instructions are formed. We provide them in the form of a document. And you follow the instructions and you place each part at the correct place. At the end you'd arrive at the robot that we called an Easy Bot. And this is a learning robot that we use for describing some interesting things about the construction about the Lego sets. Let's also look at some of the instructions for this robot. You can find all the instructions below the video. Just follow it. And it will take you approximately 15 - 20 minutes to build this robot if you are building the robot for the first time. This is how the instructions currently look like. These are instructions in a PDF document where we show which part you should find in the set then a picture of the part. Then one, two, three three to four maximum parts that you should find and how do you attach them. So you should take this blue part from the set and add this blue part right here. The same applies for you should take two of these black parts we would learn the name of these parts and add them right here. One here, one here and these instructions they continue. One part from this one of this. And these are 30 something steps 33 steps for building this robot. When you see this sign like this one here this means to turn the parts. To rotate them. And these are basically the instructions for building the robot. After you follow the instructions you arrive at the final result which is the robot. At the end after you have the robot constructed there are a couple of things that we should discuss for this robot. If you already know them, you can continue. But for the next module we'll step at some of the details the name of the parts and the way these parts are related to each other and some basic principles of constructing.

Build the EasyBotEV3 Robot

Level A1. Introduction. Robotics with LEGO

Introduction to robotics - The first level of the Robotics with LEGO curriculum for students in second, third or fourth grades. A journey in space, with robots. Various constructions with robots are built. Learn how to control the motors so that the robot navigates around the Sun, the Moon and Earth in various ways. Getting to know the first of the sensors. The robot can feel its surroundings with the help of the Touch sensor and avoid obstacles.

Lesson 1 - Moving forward

Your LEGO sets and the workplaces must be in exemplary shape. Beyond that, you must do one more thing.

Robotics with LEGO - Level 1.0 - Adventure in Space

The first level of the Robotics with LEGO curriculum for students in fifth to twelfth grades.

Various constructions with robots are built. Learn how to control the motors so that the robot navigates around the Moon and Earth in various ways. Getting to know the first two sensors. The robot can feel its surroundings with the help of the Touch sensor and avoid obstacles.
The Ultrasonic distance sensor can help the robot avoid obstacles. Students work with concepts like loop, degrees and medium motor. Robots can now do two different actions at the same time - while solving missions on a field, the third motor clears detected obstacles.

Lesson 1 - Moving like a Yo-Yo

Introduction

Today, you will get to know your classmates and your teacher, learn how the lessons are conducted, construct your first robot, and learn how to program it to move. The end goal of this lesson is to make the robot move like a Yo-Yo. How does a Yo-Yo move?

If you have ever owned a Yo-Yo, you know that it's meant to fall down and rise back up to your hand. But in order for it to move successfully, we need to move our arm in such a way that we provide it with the required velocity. Otherwise, it will decrease the distance on the way back up on each drop until it stops.

Try to make a good impression on the rest of your class, because you will be doing this course with them until the end.

[In Development] The fun level - Game-oriented introduction to LEGO robotics

A level, designed for introduction in LEGO-robotics, focused mostly on games. We use goal-oriented challenges to make the students want to accomplish a certain task, learning a lot in the process. Some of the games we have included here are football, bowling, paper-plane competition and many more. It is suitable for studens 8 to 12 years old, but even older students will have a lot of fun with the activities.

This is a brand new course that we are experimenting with in a groups in June 2019. Keep in mind that it is possible to use it for summer camps and groups, but there are a few lessons that will be improved on the fly.

Lesson 1

We follow the teaching approach of one big task that sets the topic of the lesson and we work on that task only.

Python with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 - Level 1

The course introduces students to the programming language Python. We use LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Robots. Python is a popular programming language. It could be used for introducing students to programming, for academic studies, for developing machine learning algorithms and as a general-purpose language.

During the course, students learn how to read and how to develop Python programs. They use an Integrated Development Environment called Visual Studio Code. Robots are programmed to perform interesting and funny tasks like "bringing you water". The level ends with competition on a playing field with boxes.

Lesson 1 - Beverage Assistant

Introduction

Anyone who decides to develop themselves in the field of robotics does so because they have been dazzled by the possibilities of automation in everyday life.

Whether you wish to build a multitude of small robots that work together to make your life easier or a big humanoid robot that does your homework for you, you have also come here to create your own robots.

In order to create complex robots, we first need to build simpler ones but this does not mean that they cannot be functional. "Paalia Technology" is one of the companies that began manufacturing and selling robots that are programmed to be waiters and today we will make a simple robot that serves tables today.

For most of us, these are the first steps into robotics, which is why we will start with a simple platter robot that moves to a specific location and returns.

In every lesson, we will learn how to make increasingly more complex robots and you will be able to automate more aspects of your life.
