I recently decided to spend a couple of hours working on a quick build for the new EV3 robot. Special thanks goes to Chris Johnson for compiling the stop-motion video shown below and for the idea of the name of the robot &#8211; The Harvester. Although the final product may not be as robust under extreme conditions compared with other models, it only takes several minutes to build (once you find all 49 pieces, which includes wires, motors, sensors and brick!)<\/p>\n<p>The Harvester&#8217;s design is shown with quick and easy-fitting colour and ultra-sonic sensor. There are convenient places to mount other sensors as well. We hope you like it.<br \/>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Harvester EV3 Easy Build Robot\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vZLKTKc4tGw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Building instructions (EV3 workbook)<\/h2>\n<p>(Requires the EV3 Software to view.)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/legoeng.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/the_harvester_quick_ev3_build.ev3\">the_harvester_quick_ev3_build.ev3<\/a>\u00a0(*.ev3, 9.5MB)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Building instructions (image)<\/h2>\n<p>(Click on the image for a larger version.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/legoeng.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/The-Harvester-easy-EV3-build-in-stages.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7643\" src=\"http:\/\/legoeng.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/The-Harvester-easy-EV3-build-in-stages-212x300.jpg\" alt=\"The Harvester in stages\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/legoeng.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/The-Harvester-easy-EV3-build-in-stages-212x300.jpg 212w, http:\/\/legoeng.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/The-Harvester-easy-EV3-build-in-stages.jpg 724w, http:\/\/legoeng.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/The-Harvester-easy-EV3-build-in-stages-600x848.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Parts required<\/h2>\n<p>(Click on the image for a larger version.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/legoeng.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/The-Harvester-quick-5-min-EV3-build-by-John-Burfoot.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7572 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/legoeng.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/The-Harvester-quick-5-min-EV3-build-by-John-Burfoot-187x300.jpg\" alt=\"The Harvester - quick 5 min build\" width=\"187\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/legoeng.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/The-Harvester-quick-5-min-EV3-build-by-John-Burfoot-187x300.jpg 187w, http:\/\/legoeng.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/The-Harvester-quick-5-min-EV3-build-by-John-Burfoot.jpg 640w, http:\/\/legoeng.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/The-Harvester-quick-5-min-EV3-build-by-John-Burfoot-600x960.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 187px) 100vw, 187px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NOTE: See the updated version of this quick build here.
