Building Instructions -

Here are the building instructions for the Turning attachment for Tricky - the Mindstorms 51515 Robot Inventor robot. Tricky might be the smallest robot, built with this set, but it will surprise you with its abilities to spin the ball. If you build this Turning attachment for Tricky, you could try to play a crazy little bowling game with it. As the robot is spinning the ball, you can program it to move forward and then stop, so the ball could go forward (hopefully towards the bowling pins). You can play to see who will be the first to make a strike. The Mindstorms/Duplo ball and the bowling pins are included in the set.

You can find the LEGO set, with which this was built, by following this link

Zatter is the big brother of Zat and Zatty. Zatter is here to take the load. It has a large container on its back, suitable for placing different toys inside and playing with them. Built from LEGO SPIKE Core set 45678 + LEGO SPIKE Expansion Set 45680 it was designed by my wife and just slightly improved by me and my colleagues. We spend a good hour or two with the kids placing different plush toys and playing with it.

Play time for a week: About an hour

Zatty is the smaller sibling if Zat. Zatty is small and cute. It's a car on a frame with 4 small wheels and of course two mini figures riding in it or on it. Built from LEGO SPIKE Core set 45678 + LEGO SPIKE Expansion Set 45680 it was designed by my 7 years old daughter and then slightly improved by me and the colleagues.

Play time for a week: About an hour

Zat is fun. Zat is great. It is a simple construction for a car with 4 large wheels. And who does not like cars with large wheels. Built from LEGO SPIKE Core set 45678 + LEGO SPIKE Expansion Set 45680 we had a lot of fun with it on Sunday. It was an idea of my wife and the kids took a lot of time putting things on in and moving it around. Just put things on it and play with it.

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.

These are building instructions for LEGO WeDo 2.0 Forklift. 

These are building instructions for a LEGO WeDo 2.0 Sweeper.

These are building instructions for a 4x4 LEGO WeDo 2.0 vehicle 

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.

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?

Building instructions for the Formula 1 Racing Car, built with LEGO Mindstorms EV3. It can turn with the help of a small motor and is driven by two large ones.

An example program for using this robot could be found at: https://www.fllcasts.com/programs/692hkz-comet-program

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.  

This robot is for learning at home when you have time and energy. It is like having a motorcycle on your own - you spend a lot of time working on your motorcycle, you love it, it takes care, it takes patience. This robot has 300 steps in the building instructions. We've heard a lot of parents with students telling stories how their student could build anything from LEGO on their own. This motorcycle with a cart surely would be a challenge for them. Send us pictures when they are done.  

Join the course A robot a "day" keeps the questions awake where we will further discuss the motorcycles, how to build them and what tasks to accomplish with them.

Demo programs for this motorcycle are here.

"You need to step on three points to be stable". This is something you could directly see after building this marvellous, 270+ steps, extremely interesting Motorcycle with a side cart. Yes, we are proud of it. The robot is suitable for using it at home. The instructions for building it contain more than 270+ steps so it is a test for endurance, concentration, passion. The same way driving a motorcycle is. 

Or you could just step into the cart, drive along and enjoy the view while someone else is building the robot. Like a sibling or a parent.
