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?
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.
Winter might be far away or it might just be coming - depending of course on where you are in the world. But you can always spend a few hours having fun with a LEGO Mindstorms Snowmobile. A really challenging construction that requires good preparation, concentration and a lot of efforts to complete. Same is going to the mountain in the winter. But the reward at the end is worth it.
Not all LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Robot should be aligned horizontally or vertically. It is quite possible to have the brick and the motors attached in such a way that the robot is at a certain angle.
This is a very useful small construction that could be used as a base and extended with hands and heads or other interesting ....robot body parts.
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.
This is a small VEX IQ truck that have one and only one reason to exist. The reason is to teach students to drive by practising diving with it.There is nothing that makes the Little Truckie happier than driving.
The programs for controling Truckie are at:
Truckie - "Easy" To Drive VEX IQ Program for Modkit. Left stick steers. Right stick moves
Truckie - "Hard" To Drive VEX IQ Program for Modkit. One stick for move and steer
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 module 3 of the Ugbroid - the drive mechanism.
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.

The name of the game? Football!
This Kick the ball attachment for Tricky - the Mindstorms 51515 Robot Inventor smallest robot - is one of our favorites. Imagine a LEGO robot playing football. It is dribbling through the center of the field, it enters the box, it strikes and... goooooooal. What a fun game to play at home, if you decide to build Tricky with this kicking attachment. Aptly named for it’s “trick shots” with the included Mindstorms/Duplo ball. After you're ready with the construction of this robot, you'll find the instructions for building the goal frame below.

This is an addition for Welder - super simple Motorcycle built with LEGO Mindstorms EV3. It allows the motorcycle to drive on its back wheel and perform cool tricks that way. Exactly what tricks, you will have to find on your own!
Building instructions for the second module of the Ugbroid robot - the Base.
Building instructions for Module 1 of the Modular EV3 LEGO Mindstorms vehicle - the Trunk.
The goal of this robot is to teach students how to build modular robots. This first part is just one of the modules.
This construction uses a differential. Both wheels could turn with different speed and this makes a construction much more stable when turning.
Building instructions for building rear wheels - module 4 version 2 of the Ugbroid.
This robot looks a bit weird. Can you guess why? The motors are placed in opposite directions. One of the motors is facing "forward" while the other one is facing "backward." This means that if you tell both motors to rotate forward, the robot will just spin! To make the robot move forward, you will need to make one motor rotate forward and the other backward.
The goal of this robot is to teach students that motors can be placed in various ways. It is not always the case that both motors face the same direction, and this needs to be accounted for during programming.
