Duplo Block Relay
Duplo Block Relay
The Base
Lift Duplo off base
Drop Duplo on next base
Duplo must not fall off
LEGO Ball Relay
LEGO Ball Relay
The Bases
Base 1: Large & Secure
Base 2: Large but shallow
Base 3: Small & Precise
Key Reminders
Key Reminders
- No human contact with Duplo block or ball
- If object falls off platform, then team must start over.
- Same attachments must be used for both trial runs:
- Duplo blocks
- LEGO Ball
- See Rubric for bonus scoring for variety of problem solving.
The Goal:
The Goal:
The reason we have chosen this as a first challenge is to keep things simple. We want students to see that using one brick, one motor, and one sensor we can do so many amazing things. By starting simple we can focus in on keeping engineering principles basic, build confidence, and allow them to see how the elements integrate together.
Objectives:
Objectives:
- To develop an understanding of how the beams and pegs work together.
- To develop various ways to attaching beams to the EV3 brick.
- To develop methods of using sensors to create a mechanism to pick up and deliver objects.
- To develop and engage the skills necessary for creative problem solving.
- To develop teamwork and communication skills to be successful as a team.
Group Size
Group Size
You will create your own unique mechanism to carry the object, but you will be working with two other teammates in the relay so you will need to communicate strategy, build designs, tactics, and more.
Total team of 3.
Time Frame
Time Frame
You will only have 40 minutes of work time so make sure you work within these parameters.

3 Man Relay Rubric
3 Man Relay Rubric
Bronze
An mechanism was built that can lift and carry 2 Duplo Blocks or 1 LEGO Ball using at least one sensor to trigger the mechanism using one sensor and one motor. Here is a list of items
- Brick Buttons
- Ultrasonic Sensor
- Touch Sensor
- Color Sensor
- Gyro Sensor
- Large Motors
- Medium Motor
Silver
An mechanism was built that can lift and carry 2 Duplo Blocks AND 1 LEGO Ball using at least one sensor to trigger the mechanism in the trials runs using items from this list.
- Brick Buttons
- Ultrasonic Sensor
- Touch Sensor
- Color Sensor
- Gyro Sensor
- Large Motors
- Medium Motor
Gold
An mechanism was built that can lift and carry 2 Duplo Blocks AND 1 LEGO Ball using at least one sensor to trigger the mechanism in the trials runs using items from this list. Team is able to successful deliver goods across the finish line.
Platinum
An mechanism was built that can lift and carry 2 Duplo Blocks AND 1 LEGO Ball using at least one sensor to trigger the mechanism in the trials runs using items from this list.
- All three mechanisms use different sensors and unique problem solving strategies to complete the task
