In this episode, we introduce a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 version of competition robot construction. It is a modular construction, with medium motor for additional attachments and two light or colour sensors for orientating on the field.
All worked as expected, up until know because the robot got lost. This happens when we turn right and the line does not continue to the right. Now the robot must somehow understand that it is "lost" and escape.
Note for the teacher on how to organize the class to use different robot base constructions to accomplish the mission for lifting.
In this Episode, we stop at the pinless attachments for the Box Robot 2 and especially for the constructing a frame. This frame is then used for further extending the robot with attachments.
In this Episode, we create the next attachment for the box robot two. It is again a pinless attachment, attached to the frame that transfers the motion to a vertical axle.
Try to build the attachment following the instructions. Use it to actually solve a mission from any competition (like taking loops)
This one is very special- an attachment that could lock itself on purpose while working.
Sometimes the way an axle is placed is just not suitable for a certain attachment and you should transfer the motion to another axle a few LEGO units above the current.
Need to transfer circular into a linear motion. You need a rack. Here is an attachment with a rack for our box robot.
Recap on the attachments, their purpose and how you should use them.

Note: This robot contains wheels that are from the NXT set.

A LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Chassis with wheels at the front. Built with the EV3 set you can use this robot chassis as a base for extending with attachments.
The NXT Competition robot was the first competition robot we designed. For most of the part in 2011-2012-2013 it was working really great. Than EV3 was released
Building instructions for a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 active attachment for changing gears orientations. This is the third attachment from the series.
This construction uses a differential. Both wheels could turn with different speed and this makes a construction much more stable when turning.
You can attach a frame around the front wheels to make them more stable and to allow for better aligning. The module extends the front wheel built at BigDaddy Front - front wheels mechanism module for a large LEGO Mindstorms Competition Robot
Third part of the LEGO Mindstorms BidDaddy Competition Robot.
A LEGO Mindstorms construction for taking loops. Uses the same principle as a carabiner.
We've separated the BigDaddy robot into a few smaller modules. This teaches modularity and gives you the option to reuse some of the modules and to look at specific modules.
