Tip: Lego Digital Designer is FREE.
Download from Lego.com.
All of these models are shown in Lego Digital Designer files which is a free 3D CAD program from LEGO.

The models shown here fall into several categories: Training Bots, Accessories, and miscellaneous parts.

Instructions: At the bottom of each image is a link to download that LDD file. Depending on the capabilities of your web browser, you may need to left-click or right-click on that link to access the menu to open or save the file. If you try opening the file and it doesn't look like it worked, try the Save file option.
If you save the file to your computer, make sure you note where the file is located so that you can then open it from that location in LDD.

Did you create your own robot design and want to add it here? If so, I'd be glad to post it on the website--providing that it is an actual robot and not just a collection of parts.
Just bring the LDD file on a flash drive to the next RoboClub meeting.

Training Robot 4: High Nxt Mount 1

This robot uses the new LEGO steel bearing ball socket introduced with the EV3 robot. The LDD model does not yet have the ball bearing. So, a small plastic cup has been substituted. You could use a skid method or use a small caster wheel.

Training Robot 12: BoxBot

In this model the NXT Brick is embedded fairly deep within the robot. It is too deep to use with a USB cable. If you are using Bluetooth, then there should be no problem with this robot. If you are using a USB cable, can you re-design the robot to accommodate the USB port? What changes would you make?
