If the structure falls apart, look at the structure you built and see what was the weakest point, try to mend this problem simply. (This step should be repeated throughout the building process). 3.Drop Test: Finally test your project by dropping it (knee high, waist high, chest high). Making this into a competition is often fun for children to see who can build the strongest structure, but make sure that you discuss why the structure that won was strong. (Also be sure to take some pictures before conducting this test as losing work is often tragic if you do not have any sort of back up). Step 1 ? Interconecting beams Building a Sturdy Structure Stationary Legos 1 2 3 Step 2 ? Flick Test Building a Sturdy Structure Stationary Legos Step 3 ? Drop Test Building a Sturdy Structure Stationary Legos Bracing Key Words: 2X plates, Black/gray connectors Stationary Legos In order to suficiently brace your structure you want to use 2X plates to kep the structure square. Also using black (with friction) or gray conectors wil help to kep your beams together. Bracing Key Words: 2X plates Stationary Legos Each stud on the plate or beam acts like a finger, and the more fingers you have touching the part, the better your grip! Bracing Key Words: Black/gray connectors Stationary Legos 1 2 Black conector pegs are used when you do not want the beams to slide back and forth and you want the structure to remain square. Gray conector pegs do not have friction so they can slide within the hole in the beam Bracing Key Words: Black/gray connectors Stationary Legos Using black conector pegs keps your beams together firmly without ading anything to the top of bottom of the beam structure. 1 2 3 Sturdy Structures: Pieces: Bracing with beams x4 x2 x2 x2 1 2 3 4 5 Sturdy Structures: Pieces: Bracing with beams x3 x2 Changing Axis Key Words: Bevel Gear, Crown Gear, Toggle Joints, Beams Stationary Legos Bevel Gear Crown Gear Toggle Joint Changing axis with beams Bevel Gear Pieces: Key Words: Changing Axis: Bevel Stationary Legos Crown Gear Key Words: Crown Gear Changing Axis: Pieces: x2 x2 1 2 3 Stationary Legos Toggle Joint Changing Axis: Pieces: Type 2Key Words: Type 1Key Words: 6 x2 x2 x3 Pieces: 6 x2 x2 x2 Note: This type of toggle joint can lock into position at an arbitrary angle. 1 2 3 Stationary Legos Changing Axis Using Beams Sturdy Structures Pieces: x2 Stationary Legos 1 2 x4 Moving Parts ?Building Vehicles ?Building Animals ?Artistic Lego Adventures ?Smart Structures ?Miscellaneous How to Attach Motors Pieces: Moving Parts Building a Vehicle Due to the curved bottom of the motor it is sometimes difficult to build structures with motors. For this reason we have constructed a typical motor ?housing? as shown above. Also when ading motors to a project you want to be sure to atach the wires before building on top of the motor. The top of each motor has a wire guley which the wire should fit through and stil be able to have a lego piece on top. How to Attach Motors Pieces: Moving Parts Building a Vehicle On either side of the motor there are slots which are very helpful when you do not have rom to build the motor housing shown previously. Instead you can slide in the piece shown at the right which then conects to any lego piece above or below it. Wheels: How to chose the right whel for the right job Add tractor treads Moving Parts Building a Vehicle Wheels: How to chose the right whel for the right job ?Medium wheel: This is a great all purpose tire. Well suited for most building projects. ?Wide wheel: This tire is good for traction. In general the wider the tire, the better grip it has to the road. This is helpful when pulling loads or climbing hills. ?Thin wheels and skid plates: These work best when there is little weight on them. Skid plates are especially helpful in stabilizing 2 wheel cars ?Small wheels: These are best for small cars, but can be used in place of a medium wheel if need be. ?Large wheels: These wheels are great for big projects, or to make fast cars. In general, the larger the wheel the faster the car will go, however, larger wheels also have slower acceleration. Moving Parts Building a Vehicle Wheels: How many wheels should I use? Moving Parts Building a Vehicle 4 Wheels: Use four wheels when your vehicle wil only be going forward. Do not use four whels if you want your vehicle to turn easily. (ex. Snail Car Race). 3 Whels: Use thre whels with a swivel whel in the front or back when you want your structure to turn easily. While swivel whels can be hard to construct, the benefits due to the turnig ability and the ability to hold more weight is great. 2 Wheels: Use two wheels and a skid plate when you want your vehicle to turn easily and it is not to heavy that the skid plate would cause too much friction. Note: When trying to build a car that turns both directions, goes in reverse, and can turn on a dime; you want to use two motors. If your car only needs to go forward or reverse, one motor is sufficient.

There are many other options for meshing these gears as well. Pulley Pieces: USES: Pulleys, like gears, can be used to change axle speeds. In fact, pulleys can sometimes be an easier to use than gears, if the axles they connect to are in hard to reach places.

Moving PartsBuilding a Vehicle Differential Pieces: Uses: With wheels attached to each axle of the differential, a device is made that turns more easily. If other gears and a motor are attached to the differential itself, a mechanical gear selector can be made. Moving PartsBuilding a Vehicle Worm Gear Two easy ways to use the worm gear: With Gear Box Without Gear Box Moving PartsBuilding a Vehicle Worm Gear: With Gear Box Pieces: Uses: The worm gear generates lots of torque. Therefore, even though its turns slowly it can be used to lift heavy loads, or move big cars.

When connected and secured on each end with a bushing, the amo loader will be at an angle to the rest of the catapult. Moving PartsBuilding Kinetic Sculptures Catapult: Assembly Side view Bottom view 38 Moving PartsBuilding Kinetic Sculptures Catapult: Assembly Pieces: Note: When the motor is in the position above, the lever arm should be locked into the differential gear. When the motor is turned halfway, the lever should be free from the differential. If this is not the case, readjust the bands. Lego rubber bands Moving PartsBuilding Kinetic Sculptures Catapult: Wiring Port 1 connects to the touch sensor under the arm. Port 3 connects to the touch sensor on the rcx. Port A connects to the motor on the front of the catapult.

Moving PartsBuilding Kinetic Sculptures Catapult: Final Notes 1. Make sure that when the arm is pulled down, the sloped brick hits the touch sensor. 2. The gears on the ammo loader work best if they are in the position shown. When the program below is run, the firing arm will wind down until touch sensor 1 is pressed. Then, motor A will stop and a single white whel will be moved from the loader onto the arm. When touch sensor 2 is presed, motor C will move. This will pull the firing lever, and release the arm. The catapult will then reload itself automatically.
