Building Instructions

Building instructions for a simple car using an EV3 Large motor for turning the front wheels and EV3 medium motor with differential for driving the rear wheels.

Cápa means shark in Hungarian.

The robot resembles a live hammershark. It uses a medium motor to move its tail, which is used for the shark to turn. It moves forward with a large motor and two tyres. Its jaws open and close with a second large motor. The two touch sensors at the front are purely for aesthetics but you can use them if you like. Finally the head has an ultrasonic sensor which detects if something is a potential "prey". This resembles the real hammer sharks' ability to sense with their "hammer".

This construction demonstrates one way of using а rack with a gear wheel. It allows to turn circular motion in to a liniar one.

This LEGO Mindstorms robot base is small, compact and packed in a very small volume. The goal of this constructions is to be used as a base and to show yet another way to experiment with adding motors to the brick.

This is a vehicle that is used to help you to learn programming, to experiment with addons, attachments and constructions. It has a frame. Which is nice. A frame is always nice. 

It has two wheels at the back, but this is needed only if you have them.

Background

A space telescope is astonishing, but it can’t beat the accessibility and simplicity of a college or science museum observatory – that is, if you know how and where to point it.

Mission

Rotate the observatory to a precise direction.

These are building instructions for Workshop Crane with LEGO WeDo 2.0

The robot uses two Large Mindstorms EV3 Motors to open and close its shell. On the top of the shell are used four hoses, that can be reshaped to form different shell styles. It also uses two black bent beams for eyebrows, that can be moved to change the expression of the clam. A Castor Ball is used to represent its pearl.

An awesome ski-jet robot, steering with a medium motor and powered by a single large motor. It also has a pair of inclined treads, making it especially well-suited for the harsh winter terrain.

*There is a mistake in this robot you will have to find. How would you make it work?

Dwell is a car built with a LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 set. It uses the medium motor for powering the back wheel and one more medium motor for rotating the front wheels and thus turning. Of course, there is a differential at the back.  

Building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot base. The attachment of the motors is quite interesting. We follow the angles of LEGO technic to attach them. This construction has some difficulties turning to the left and to the right. But if you have to take on an obstacle that high this is one of the options. 

You can use all kinds of wheels on this robot - EV3, NXT or others. It doesn't actually matter.

Not all LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Robot should be aligned horizontally or vertically. It is quite possible to have the brick and the motors attached in such a way that the robot is at a certain angle. 

This is a very useful small construction that could be used as a base and extended with hands and heads or other interesting ....robot body parts.

Whitiki comes from Maori and means Belt.

The robot uses a medium motor to run the belt and a color sensor to identify the color of the ball coming in. There are 56 chain pieces in the robot.

A hand driven Ferris wheel for a cascades. Something like the famous Ferris wheel scene from Le boulet movie.

Or create a story like... Where the chicken fight two hunters and blows them away with explosion so powerful that the shock wave blow away the chicken to the top of the highest cabin and the hunters are blown away that far they are missing in the thumb nail! Or ... Yea, I remember a story ...

Just open your mind for the most strange and unusual story you can think of.

Weekly playtime with a good story: About ~2-3 hours

These are building instructions for Overload Centrifuge training machine built with LEGO WeDo 2.0

One LEGO gear is powering two LEGO Gears and at the end, from one motor we rotate two axles in opposite directions. Follow the building instructions.

Big Wheelster, as his name suggests, is a robot with a big wheel! The Big Wheel is made out of the SPIKE Prime Baseplates. The robot also has an interesting steering mechanism! At the front we have added a touch sensor, to detect an obstacle and hopefully avoid it.

This is a Garbage container and it is fun. As all garbage containers it has only three wheels as one of the wheels is missing. You can also see how one of the wheels is a little different and broken to the side. Like all garbage containers.

The container is useful to play and put things inside.

Suitable for children 6-10 years old. Construct the Garbage Container and leave it for a week for the children to play with. They will spend at least an hour playing with it during the week

This robot was designed for the VEX IQ Challenge 2019-2020. It could push four hubs simultaneously. It can carry one. And it call pull itself on the bar at the end of the run. We've used four omni wheels of which the two at the back are the driving wheels.

Demo program can be found at Program for Winner - VEX IQ Competition Robot for the 2018-2019 Challenge.
