Demogorgon - Upside Down robot with LEGO Mindstorms
This here is a base for a robot that has the brick Upside Down. Have you seen Stranger Things? We would admit that this robot does not look exactly like a 'Demogorgon', but this here is the challenge. Can you use this base and make the robot look like a Demogorgon. Add a picture to the comments section below the material.
Do you have other ideas for Demogorgon? Build them with LEGO and add a picture below this material or send it to team@fllcasts.com. We would feature it at FLLCasts.com.

Simple Catch Bot - LEGO Mindstorms Robot for catching objects
It moves and it collects. It collects objects.
These are building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms robot that could collect objects. It is not actually catching them and that's why we call it "Simple Catch Bot". The general case is to program it to move on the floor and collect some of the Mindstorms wheels and tires coming with the 45544, 45560 or 31313 LEGO sets.

MotoCar Bot - LEGO Mindstorms Robot that is kind of like a forklift
"How do you build a forklift using only gear wheels and levers without a rake"... Ok, we would admit that is a difficult question. It even sounds difficult. So let's start with something easy. A LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robot. It lifts objects in the air. It uses two gear wheels that work together and then move in different directions and are placed perpendicular to each other... This sentence kind of got difficult again... Let me try again.
Follow the building instructions with these 70+ steps and you will have a very nice robot and you will learn a simple trick of how to use gears and change the directions in which they rotate.

Spy Bot - LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Robot used as a spy
"Bot. Spy Bot."
Many of us are fascinated by the idea of spies. Movies for "spies" are also very popular and if you haven't watched them check out the 007 movies. These here are building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms robot with two touch sensors and one ultrasonic. It could be used as a spy - sneaking closer to you and detecting if you move or if you touch it. The whole idea for this robot came from NXT when there were sound sensors. Currently, there are no sound sensors in the EV3 set, but the robot could again be quite fun to program.
