Spinner FactoryFrom the designer Pelle Petersen

Design scope: Two EV3 Intelligent Bricks in one model.

That’s it!

Personal connection: This is by far the most complex model

that Pelle has ever designed. He did most of the work on

the model and enlisted some help from fellow designer, Lee

Magpelli, as well as a dedicated fan for the programming.

Building challenge: After many hours of brainstorming, the

designers settled on a model that launched a spinning top.

They then worked through the kinks until the top smoothly

launched from the model.

Programming challenge: With two Intelligent Bricks, the

obvious challenge is daisy chaining them together. Luckily,

you only have to program one brick using multiple ports.

Features: 2 EV3 Intelligent Bricks, 2 Color Sensors,

2 Touch Sensors, and ALL six motors
