For World Robotics Olympiad Ball Collection competitions we prepared an interesting Robot Base Chassis that could be extended with a container. The container contains the ping-pong ball. A mechanism collects them. This LEGO Mindstorms EV3 building instructions are for the chassis of the robot and were one of the versions from a series of robots.
Building instructions for the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot used for accomplishing WRO 2014 mission. It is the full robot with the lift at the top
Advanced LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Construction. It has two rear motors and it could rotate the whole from part. It has 4 wheels and is kind of like unique in the Mindstorms world.
Building instructions are not very easy and you need LEGO Education Core and Extension Sets - 45544 and 45560.
Apart from being advanced, it is also quite fun to try to build.
Building instructions for this part of the BigDaddy competition robot
You can position the motors on the construction in a number of different ways. We are exploring the advantages and disadvantages of each of them. These are building instructions for the first way to position the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 motors.
This construction uses a differential. Both wheels could turn with different speed and this makes a construction much more stable when turning.
You can attach a frame around the front wheels to make them more stable and to allow for better aligning. The module extends the front wheel built at BigDaddy Front - front wheels mechanism module for a large LEGO Mindstorms Competition Robot
