Building Instructions

You remember Mighty Coffee? Well, my wife is looking at me building Mighty Coffee and is like "Why can't we have a beer?"...yes, the world around me. At the end of the day we had a Mighty Coffee and MBEER and we realized that both of these are not appropriate for 6-10 years old, but nevertheless the children had a lot of fun with them. They were pouring coffee in the beer mug, then put the whole Mighty Coffee into the beer mug they played probably for about an hour. Built from LEGO SPIKE Core set 45678 + LEGO SPIKE Expansion Set 45680 this beer mug is just clean and beautiful. Only with blue frames. As an engineer I tried to construct it the first time with the children and then ask them to construct it without following instructions. Try it. It is like a puzzle. Build it the first time with the 3D Assembly Instruction and the second time without any instruction.

Play time for a week: ~1-2 hours in total.

I was looking around the house and thought, "This will be fun for the kids—let’s build a coffee machine." Little did I know just how fun it would be!

Built from the LEGO SPIKE Core Set 45678 and the LEGO SPIKE Expansion Set 45680, this coffee machine has a lid that can be opened and closed, and it's the perfect size for the hands of a 6–10-year-old child.

What my daughters did with it was have coffee with their other toys. They had fun building it, and found it especially exciting that the lid could open and close. As an engineer, I also took the opportunity to tell them a bit about the valve on the machine and why it's needed.

Best ~2 hours of play for this week!

Estimated weekly play time: ~2 hours in total.

Let's play some basketball

Tricky might be the smallest Mindstorms 51515 Robot Inventor robot, but it's definitely one of the greatest. If you build Tricky with this particular Basketball attachment and grab the Mindstorms/Duplo ball, which is included in the set, you'll unlock a whole new level in playing basketball at home. Yes, yes, we know that you'll also need a basketball hoop, so you'll find a link for it below.

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

You can find other attachments for Tricky, by following the links below:

1. Kick the ball attachment
2. Writing attachment
3. Ball grabbing attachment
4. Turning attachment

You can find constructions created to play with Tricky, by following the links below:

1. Bowling Pins
2. Football Goal
3. Chain Reaction
4. Basketball hoop

This is a garbage container—and it’s fun! Like most real garbage containers, it has only three wheels because one is missing. You’ll also notice that one of the wheels is slightly different and tilted to the side—just like the real thing.

The container is great for play and for storing small items inside.

Suitable for children aged 6–10. Build the garbage container and leave it out for a week—children will naturally engage with it and are likely to spend at least an hour playing with it over the course of the week.

"Do. Or do not. There is no try!"

You probably remember this famous line spoken by Yoda in the film "Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back". We've created FREE 3D and animated building instructions of LEGO's Star Wars "The Child (75318)" build-and-display model. Except the obvious cuteness overload, we did our best to create the 3D steps in the easiest way possible, so you DO manage to build "Baby Yoda" successfully, because trying is not an option. Fun you shall have, in 3D you shall build! Ready to go?

Oh no, the delivery is running late! Don't worry, this warehouse robot made to hold and drag objects is here to help! It uses two medium motors to move around and one for a grabber. The grabber, which is at the front of the robot, consists of two double angular lift-arms that are each connected to a gear.

Tempus means time in Latin.

Time flies when you are having fun! Luckily, we have this robot to keep us on top of our schedule. Tempus is a robot that is made to look like a clock. The two hands are each connected to a motor and are positioned between the two motors. This makes the robot simple to build and effective in showing how a clock works.

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.

This robot is designed to easily lift a cup while still holding it upright. With its motor attached to the side of the hub, the robot can lift the cup to any angle you want. You could replace the LEGO cup and make it lift real cups with a few adjustments. Be careful around liquids though, the robot doesn't like beverages like you do!

Famulus means waiter in Latin.

One pumpkin spice latte coming right up! This robot is made to serve the best drinks in the whole continent! It is one of the simpler robots that can be made with the LEGO SPIKE Prime set and it uses two medium motors to move around. The coolest part about the robot is the cup holder where a "cup" can be attached or removed. Bottoms up!

Chronos means time in Greek.

What's the time? Time to build a cool robot! This robot is made to look like a clock. The two hands are each connected to a motor and are positioned between the two motors. This makes it simple to build, while also being effective in showing how a clock works.

An example program moving the seconds and minutes hands of the clock can be found here.

An example program designed to teach children to read the clock can be found here.

This is a robot, designed to easily lift a cup, while still holding it upright. The robot uses one motor attached to the brick to lift the cup to any angle you want. The cup we have added is purely cosmetic, but with a few adjustments, you can make it lift real cups. Be careful around liquids though!

This robot is made to serve the best tea in the whole continent! It is based on the Easy Bot from EV3. As its predecessor it is based on LEGO Mindstorms EV3. It uses two large motors to move around. The best part of the robot is the cup holder, that has a cool cup that shows the KISS principle.

The kinesthetic and memory game works with a program you can download from here. In these instructions you will see the 7 modules from which it is built:

• Touch sensor module;

• Ultrasonic module;

• Gyro module;

• Color module;

• Lever module;

• Medium motor module;

• Base module.

 

This robot is meant to be very modular and to enable its owner to upgrade it and modify it.

This module is meant to be used in EV3 Kinesthetic and Memory Game and is attached to the base of the robot. This module uses the rotation sensor in the medium motor to detect how much the players had turned its wheel.

This module is meant to be used in EV3 Kinesthetic and Memory Game and is attached to the base of the robot. This module uses the gyro sensor to detect when it is hit, by observing the angular rate.

This module is meant to be used in EV3 Kinesthetic and Memory Game and is attached to the base of the robot. This module uses the rotary sensor, embedded in every motor, to detect when the player has pulled the lever.

This module is meant to be used in EV3 Kinesthetic and Memory Game and is attached to the base of the robot. This is the simplest module for constructing and programming. At the bottom, a channel is left for the cable to pass through.

This is the base module of EV3 Kinesthetic and Memory Game. The goal of this module is to present a variety of places for the rest of the modules to be attached.

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!
