• Knob Wheel

This set of two attachments for the Nautiq robot is designed to collect and deliver the scuba diver for M01 Coral Nursery and M04 Scuba Diver, collect the shark for M02 Shark, and flip the coral reef for M03 Coral Reef in the FIRST LEGO League 2024‑2025 SUBMERGED competition. One attachment is mounted from above, and the other from below, allowing efficient execution of multiple missions in a single run.

This attachment for the Nautiq robot is designed to collect the Trident Parts for M14, deliver the Shark for M02, and collect one Krill for M12 in the FIRST LEGO League 2024‑2025 SUBMERGED competition. It features a passive trigger for the krill collection and aligns the robot with the mission model before collecting the trident parts.

This is a frame for the SUV Box Robot. Tis frame is an adapter between the robot and the attachments. You can add-in several attachments on it and mount them on the robot simultaneously with one movement.

The frame has two locks that make the attachments stick to the robot. Also the front Knobs must not be used for very powerful activities due to jumpings, unless the frame with attachments become heavy enough to prevent any jumping of the frame.

In this attachment two knob wheels "(32072 ) Technic Gear 4 Knob" engage at 90 degrees angle. One of the knob wheels is a part of the robot and the other is a part of a pinless active attachment. The purpose of this attachment is to demonstrate How NOT to build attachments. 

Build the attachment and experiment. See for yourself how it "jumps" up and down when the knob wheels are rotating and you hold the lever by hand. 

This is a simple pinless active attachment for the SUV Box Robot.

In this attachment we use "(32498) Technic Gear 36 Tooth Double Bevel". There are four pins added to the wheel and it it this pins that engage with the "(32072 ) Technic Gear 4 Knob". The more important thing is that the knob wheel and the gear wheel are parallel to each other.

While the motor rotates the attachment has 4 points of contact (instead of one or two when two Knob Wheels are in contact) with the robot knob wheel. There are no forces that drive the attachment to jump and lose engagement with the robot.

Building instructions for the One Attachment. Built from LEGO Mindstorms EV3 parts and with an Ultrasonic sensor we've used this attachment to accomplish most of the missions at FIRST LEGO League 2013.

SIngle robot attachment, many points.
