A Russian roulette style slot machine. Match three colours to win. Play by yourself or with friends. LEGO Mindstorm EV3 Slot Machine by dr_spock_888, on Flickr I made this for the local LEGO Discovery Centre's Adult Night's casino theme night. Originally, it was running on the NXT with limited function. The NXT didn't have the modulus function in the math block. I needed it to calculate where the colors are. I wasn't looking forward to writing my own modulo function then I got lucky and won an EV3 at a silent charity auction. Lo and behold, EV3 math block has a modulo function. I am saved! We also planned to build a working roulette table for the event but that fell through. So I added a "roulette" feature to my MOC. VIDEO: V -
DRAGONFLY Dune Buggy Hello everyone! For a very long time I had a dream to build a dune buggy, and finally, my dream come true! The main goal was to use a C+ electrics instead of Buwizz unit. Of course, I am not the first who attempted to build a buggy. I take an inspiration in Madoca`s Blue Lightning buggy. Technical specifications: - Light and ridged tubular bodywork - electrics form 42099 set (controlled with C+ app for 42099) - Long-travel independent suspension - positive caster angle on the front wheels - Long wheel for stability on the straigt lines - Double steering rack and steering arms reduce wobbling of the steering system - understeering feature (rear wheels get more grip) - RC tires 90 mm Buggy performed well, comparing to the 42124 set. It appears to be a car that is very comfortable to play with. The speed of the buggy allows you to walk with your normal speed in the park driving it at the same time! Here is a small video of my first tests: As I said, the main goal of this project was to use C+ electrics. But after that I decided to boost it with buggy motors! The overview of the car does not change much. Rear wheels get a positive caster angle, and wheel size was reduced from 90 mm to 85 mm (for reducing speed and increasing torque). Here is a short video with Buwizz-powered Dragonfly. I will definitely make another video about this car then the summer comes. -
Hi Eurobrick folks, I would like to present my first Mindstorm Ev3 creation: a combine harvester, which I named C-HARV3ST3R, following the Ev3 terminology. It is more than a year that the project was completed, and it stood for some time on a shelf before I finally made instructions (soon on Rebrickable). I then take the opportunity to present it here: It is remote controlled with the IR beacon, including steering and raising the unloader using the middle button. The header can be raised using a lever on the right side. There are two positions: when down (harvesting mode), the small wheels drive the reel. When up (driving mode), the reel does not turn anymore, and a lever push the touch sensor. The program can therefore "know" whether we are in driving or harvesting mode, based on the state of the touch sensor. The two modes differer by the following: in harvesting mode, the combine harvester drives more slowly and no reverse driving is allowed. In addition, a counter records how much we have harvested, a gauge (in %) is displayed on the screen at the top of the machine (where the actual tank is on real machines). When the tank is full, no further move is allowed and a "bip" is emitted. One need to either go in driving mode, or to unload the harvest by raising the unloader. In driving mode, the combine harvester moves faster and can move reverse (slow speed, emitting a warning "bip"). But a video is maybe better than words: Finally, just a few more pics: Hope you like it!

This is my first fighting game for the EV3. Going to completely remake the one I started a couple years ago. New programming, movements, sounds, build, etc. I will update this thread as often as I can, although subscribing to my new YouTube channel would be much easier. :D Support me on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/M1dn1ghtN1nj4 New channel, LegoRoboGo: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfj_fY7gc3rqKueez_H76vQ New videos will be posted above the old ones, so you don't have to scroll down for ages looking for the most recent video. Version 1 Final: Update 2. Making progress Starting out: Original version, which has since been recreated in the videos above: -

Hello I'd like to share with you my last model, the colour ball tracker. This robot is able to track and catch a colour ball in a room without any border. The choice of the colour is made at the beginning and you can choose several colours. All the problems are managed, like mistakes, wrong things and so on technologies used are lego mindstorm and pixy cam thanks for you comments and requests !!!

Is there a way to not display certain programs and especially MyBlocks on the EV3 Brick Menu under a Project? The Kids have a project called CityShaper and it has 2 programs and about 10 MyBlocks. They only need to see the 2 programs and not all the MyBlocks listed so it is easier to select during the FLL Competition.

Hi, i've been working on this platform for a while, now it's basically ready. It's a tank with 6 indepentent suspension (3 per side), remotely controllable with quite a powerful climb :) It has space to put something else on it such as a weapon or a crane or such. Here's some pictures (sorry for the blurrines): The shell without threads and EV3: I've also attached a webcam to it, i was able to stream a 160x120 live video and drive it around the garden remotely, pretty awesome if a bit blurry :P Unfortunately i had to use an USB hub which have a huge plug, i had to put the EV3 brick vertically or it wouln't fit. At least there's just the right space to put the hub :) Here's some render too:

Hello, I have a problem with my NXT 2.0, My colour, supersonic and light sensors are not working however, touch sensors are working, Even there is no light at my sensors. Is there anything for me to solve this problem. Is the problem on my sensors or on brick ? -
Hi I am new here, this is my first post this is my latest supercar, Lamborghini SV powerfunctions + technic + + mindstorm pneomatic 50 % Software 50 % Hardware complete gallery http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=534033 or Lego Technic Site http://www.us.lego.com/en-us/technic/gallery/3029be09-c662-4ee2-9d8d-f41cd4f84a93?index=1 -
Hello, I have been lurking around here on the technic/mindstorm forum for some time now and i figured i might aswell start posting my own creations here. This is my latest mindstorm project. It is simply a machine that builds a tower. It pick up modules at ground level and then brings them up to the top of the tower and then snaps them into place with 4 technic pins. And then it repeats that over and over again. Can it go all the way up to space? Only in my dreams. :) Even if we ignore the problems with wind, weight, wear of the plastic and battery life it would take 7432 years to reach space since it moves at a speed of 0,5cm/s (hence the fast forwarding in the video). I hope you enjoyed it. :) //Hknssn

...hello out there... this past weekend, I was able to buy an opened/used Mindstorm EV3... some of the baggy parts were open, while some were not... I did check the big and important pieces by looking at the parts list at the back of the manual... although it wasn't listed, I've been told prior that there was a CD that comes with it... the one I bought did not... My questions are: (1) how important is this CD to the overall functionality of the EV3, (2) where can I get a hold of one without going through TLC and Bricklink and (3) can the content of the CD be copied for personal use? Any help is much appreciated.

Hello All Sorry if this question was already raised! As you all know Lego Rechargeable Battery for ev3 is expensive. May I ask you if anyone tried to use 6 Li-Po 1.5v rechargeable batteries there instead of regular lithium Batteries? Ni-MH are all 1.2v , and will not work as needed but maybe 1.5 li-po would be Ok ? Brand, let say : ZNTER They can be found on ebay for $40 for 6 batteries ... http://www.ebay.com/itm/6pcs-ZNTER-1-5V-AAA-400mAh-LiPo-rechargeable-lithium-battery-USB-charging-line-/272099707530?hash=item3f5a680a8a:g:RQ8AAOSwX~dWkQt- or http://www.bestbuy.com/site/eco-cell-usb-cell-rechargeable-aa-batteries-4-pack-white-green/4471800.p?skuId=4471800 Thank you !!!
