This is a module that looks like a fish's head. It uses a touch sensor for a mouth and is otherwise purely cosmetic. The module is used in Piscis - a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Fish robot.

This is a cool scissor mechanism that looks like the sting of a scorpion. It is powered by a medium motor and at the top there is a touch sensor, to detect if something has been stung! The sting is used in Scorpion - LEGO EV3 Robot.

This module is made to look and move like a real ship's sails! The module consists of two masts that are connected so that they move together. The back mast is connected to a medium motor that can move all sails and is also connected to a gyro sensor, that can detect if the whole ship is rotated. This module is used in Yolanda - LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Sailship robot.

This is a module that is made to look like a mantis' pincers and head. The pincers are powered by a medium motor and the head has an ultrasonic sensor for eyes. This module is used in Mantissa, a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 mantis robot.

This module is made to look like a head of a ram made with LEGO Mindstorms EV3. It uses an ultrasonic sensor, which points down as if it is going to attack, as the eyes of the head. It can be combined with other modules to create the perfect ram robot!

This is a mechanical cannon that uses the mechanical strain on the plastic LEGO beams to shoot a ball. Because of that the Ball size is very important. It is made to work with standard balls for a ball pool and even better with 41250 52mm LEGO Ball. The mechanism is powered by an EV3 Large motor.

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!

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.

Motivated by the five-minute robot, this robot has its own rails!

 

Larvy is a SPIKE Prime robot, that moves like a larva or caterpillar. The robot has a Large motor, that contracts and expands it! Using the two medium motors, it turns 4 tyres to their side and upright whenever it wants, so that it can move forward!

A program for the robot can be found here: Program for Larvy - LEGO SPIKE Prime robot

Swing game is a SPIKE Prime robot that is a game played by two people. The goal of the game is for both LEGO people to reach the center of the swing, without it tipping over on either side. The LEGO poeple are placed on motors, connected to two technic gear racks, that move along the swing. The motors are moved by two controllers, one using a color sensor and one using a Large motor. If one of the LEGO people moves too far without the other doing the same, the swing will tip and game over! Good luck and have fun!

Big Wheelster, as his name suggests, is a robot with a big wheel! The Big Wheel is made out of the SPIKE Prime Baseplates. The robot also has an interesting steering mechanism! At the front we have added a touch sensor, to detect an obstacle and hopefully avoid it.

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".

Tohuru, from Maori, means owl.

Tohuru is a SPIKE Prime robot, that holds onto an edge and looks at the nearest object! It uses two medium motors to grip an edge between two wheels. In addition it has a head made out of an ultrasonic sensor, attached to a large motor, which allows it to turn 360 degrees! And most importantly, it looks like an Owl!
