This is an pinless robot attachment designed for taking loops. It's built with LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor parts and it demonstrates how to collect a loop while moving with the robot. The attachment is designed for Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions. There are other attachments that are designed for taking a loop and locking it so that it does not fall, but they are more complex. Search for 'Carabiner' at FLLCasts.com

This is an attachment for the top of the robot and the attachment is used for lifting different parts. It is reusable as we could change the lever and use the attachment for a number of different missions.

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.

This is a power inventor switch mission model. The goal is to "switch" the power by moving the lever from one side to the other. This is a common mission for FIRST LEGO League competitions.

This attachment demonstrates the principle of dropping a part inside a container. It uses parts only from the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor 51515 set. The goal of the attachment is to release a lever that is holding the wheel.

This is an attachment positioned below the robot and used for when we need to push something with the robot. It keeps the cargo in place while pushing. In this way we can achieve a consistent behavior with the robot, which is what we all want

These are construction plates used as Mission Model for preparing for FIRST LEGO League competition off season. They are build with LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor set and following the idea of the same places with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime construction plates and LEGO Mindstorms EV3 construction plates

This is a mission model for a drop mission. The mission model is build from LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor 51515 set. It is large, we know, but again, we wanted to use only parts from the 51515 set.

We use this attachment to discuss how an attachment and a module from LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor could be build in an easy to detach fashion. Check out the tutorial in the lesson for this attachment for more information about Detachable Modules

This attachment is a demonstration of how easy to detach attachment could be build for LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor robot where both the robot and the attachment is from the same 51515 set. The principle is useful for accomplishing missions where the mission model should be placed on the FIRST LEGO League field and in the same time should be supported in a way. Check out the tutorial for a demonstration.

Attachment for grabbing loops build from LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor 51515 set. We use this robot attachment to accomplish missions with loops at FIRST LEGO League. Well, we use the principle, that is what's important. Check out the attachment and the course to understand the principle of grabbing loops.

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.

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.

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.

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.

An attachment designed for Heavy lifting. It's build with LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor 51515 and it has a gear wheels mechanism that allows you to increase the torque and lift really heavy things. Build the attachment and check out the tutorial. This will teach you one more principle that you could use for FIRST LEGO League competitions.

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.

This attachment demonstrates pushing and pulling with a circular motion. It is useful for FIRST LEGO League competitions where you can grad a mission model and bring it back to base or push/pull on a lever.

LEGO Attachment user for throwing/shooting a ball. It is powered with one motor and uses the fact that the parts of the LEGO set could bend. Build and experiment with it. Many FIRST LEGO League competitions have missions that could be accomplished with attachments that throw/shoot

Bowling pins mission model reworked from a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 version available at Bowling pins mission models. FLLCasts Off-season Challenge 2019 to a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime version available in this material. You can follow the same construction to assemble as many pins as you need. In 3D building instructions for you to construct them.
