Building Instructions

This attachment is accomplishing three missions from the FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023. It is for the Chain Monster robot

This is an active attachment with gears built from LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robotics set. The goal is to do a precise drop. The attachment could be used for both cargo items.

This attachment was intended for and tested on the Gazon, LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot. It is meant to help the robot complete the 9th mission of the FLL Cargo Connect competition.

This is the robot that we use to demonstrate a solution for competition. This is a Post season solution. We never release any solutions during the season as this will have a negative impact on the competition. But after the competition we try to make a review and to see how we could have accomplish it. Our goal is to be better for next year.

This robot is quite powerful. The attachment mechanism on the front is one of a kind as it can do several things with a single motor: it can lift, it can unlock, it can grab. All of this thanks to the unique mechanism of gears

We took a stab at building a box robot entirely with chains. It is difficult to find these chains. They were part of the original LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Robots, but we had an idea. Can we power the whole box robot and all the attachments with the chains. This allows us to do a nice demonstration when and how chains could be used.

To build the robot you will need about 180 of these the chain pars - 3711a. They could be found from NXT and from some technic sets.

This attachment was intended for and tested on the Gazon, LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot. It is meant to help the robot complete the 5th mission of the FLL Cargo Connect competition.

These are 3D building instructions for an active pinless attachment from LEGO Education SPIKE Prime set. The attachment is used along with the Gazon robot to push mission models.

This attachment was intended for and tested on the Gazon, LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot. It is meant to help the robot complete the 3rd mission of the FLL Cargo Connect competition.

This reusable attachment could easily be placed on the side of a LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor robot and accomplish different missions that require the robot to interact with mission models. It uses gear wheels.

We use this attachment to demonstrate the principle of an active attachment. This is an attachment activated from the motor. It has one level attached to it. It could be reused. The attachment transfers power from the motor to the end of the lever and we can accomplish missions like the Power Switch mission from the FLLCasts Off-season mission models.

This is a heavy lifting attachment and it can lift mission models vertically. It is build entirely from LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor 51515 parts. This is one of the more complex and interesting attachments that we demonstrate in the course and it show how a few gear wheels and levers could be used to change the motion from circular to linear. This is powerful concept that could be very valuable during FIRST LEGO League competitions.

Second version of a reusable gear attachment. This time the black gear wheel is at the top. It is useful when you are constrained by space.

First version of a reusable gear attachment. By following the same principle for assembling the attachments you can change the direction of the gear wheels and build powerful attachments that could accomplish missions in any direction.

Third version of a reusable gear attachment. In this scenario a single motor could power two different axles in two different directions. If you use it to accomplish a mission do not forget to send us a video. We would love to see it.

Forth version of a reusable gear attachment. Again, it powers two axles and this time there is a lever connected to one of the axles.

This is a robot attachment built only with parts from LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor Set. The goal of the attachment is to accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2020 RePlay mission call Treadmill. The attachment has two gear wheels that could transfer the power from the motors to the wheel. The wheel is the one that is accomplishing the mission as it rotates and rotates. The attachment is pinless.

With this LEGO robot attachment from LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor we accomplish the Rowing Machine from FIRST LEGO League 2020. The attachment works like a hook that catches the wheel of the Rowing Machine mission model and pulls on it. There are gear wheels that transfer the power from the robot motors to the hook at the end. This attachment shows the principle of catching things

This incredibly compact SPIKE Prime Box Robot is made for competitions like FIRST LEGO League (FLL) and World Robotics Olympiad (WRO). Whakatae (from Maori's word "whakataetae", which means "competitive") is long 17 LEGO units and is with a width of 15 LEGO units. In front of the wheels it has two color sensors which it uses to align. Whakatae also has two Large motors for moving and has two medium motors for attachments!

It's has "V2" in its name, because it's the second version of Whakatae - LEGO Education SPIKE Prime Competition Box robot. The difference between the two is that the first one can be built with only a Large Motor and a Color sensor in addition to the Base set, while this one needs an additional ball bearing. This provides this robot with a lot more stability and can be seen as a true upgrade to the first version.

This is the attachment to accomplish Fll 2019 M06 mission with the Whakatae. You can see how to attach the attachment to the robot in this tutorial to do.

Calix, from latin, means cup. Calix is made to carry an object while following a black line. Most people, when they think of robotics, they think of how the robots may help them at home, with the chores that no one wants to do. This robot is a simple version of this. You can give it a cup in the kitchen and then it will deliver it to the end of the black line! The robot uses two SPIKE Prime medium motors to move and a color sensor to follow a line. At the front it has Large motor with a gear system that lowers and rises the "cup".
