FIRST LEGO League (FLL) is the most popular LEGO Mindstorms Robotics Competition. Each year the season starts in Augusts and completes by May. We've created a lot of resources for FIRST LEGO League to help teams prepared, learn and have fun. Here are most of the tutorials, building instructions and courses for FLL
Here we collect resources that are common for most LEGO Mindstorms robotics competitions. The resources here could be used for FLL, WRO, general line following, sumo and many more.
Learn how to build LEGO robots and win the FIRST LEGO League competition.
Using LEGO Mindstorms EV3 and NXT robotics kits we give curriculum ideas, share professional experience and teach students to think and develop as engineers. The goal of this category is to group specific examples from specific missions.
Contains resources for LEGO Mindstorms competitions. There are many LEGO competitions using EV3, NXT and RCX robots. These competitions have some similarities, but could be quite different in general. Most popular are of course FIRST LEGO League and World Robotics Olympiad.
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.
This is the attachment to accomplish Fll 2019 M06 mission with the Whakatae. You can see how to attach the attachment to the robot in this tutorial to do.
Second version of a reusable gear attachment. This time the black gear wheel is at the top. It is useful when you are constrained by space.
