Box Robot Two. With fewer parts and only one motor.
Here we start with a second box robot that we would like to build. It is in a way improvement to the first robot and we would take a look at its features.

Separate the robot construction on body - body and attachments. Attachments should be small, light and most importantly for winning the competitions they should be pinless. In this category we group tutorials, courses and materials for different attachments that have proved to be useful.

Inertia triggered attachments does no require the use of a motor. Let the inertia do all the work. These kinds of attachments are very useful at robotics competitions like FIRST LEGO League and World Robot Olympiad. The robot moves, the attachment falls and grabs the ball. The attachment uses Luly, a small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions as a robot base.
Next robot construction for holding and releasing balls from this container. In this video we discuss the improvements and how to use the chains to release one ball at a time.
Improving the construction for the World Robotics Olympiad missions. The improvement is in the position of the sensor and the size of the balls container.
One of the simplest tricks in the game - move, complete the mission and leave the attachment with the mission model. You don't have to return the attachment to the base. On some competitions there might be penalties, but it might be worth it, as you save time to complete another mission. This works especially well with large attachments..
