This useless machine is inspired by the “Most Useless Machine EVER” by “SaskView”. Now you can build one too, using the instructions below. All you need is one LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 kit (#31313).
Leave a comment if you build one – let’s see how many pointless machines we can build together!

Genius but simple. I like it 😀 .
I use the education edition but I think I can replace the cams.
Can be built with nxt 2.0 set?
No, because you need the small motor.
Well ye can use a mega motor.
You can use EV3 motors on the NXT. It’s just the program that’s the issue.
That’s Right bro
U can use the EV3 program for NXT
The Medeum Motor ist Not Small!
Tu est sérieux ?
Are you serious ?
what for You used a rubber
hij is wel in belgië
That was definitely useless, but fun nonetheless.
The downloaded program does not work the same way that the video shows. Is there some thing done differently in the program? Phil
The one in the video is the same program as the one found on this page.
Exactly what doesn’t work in the same way?
I modified the power level to 15 from 5 and -10. It works much better now. These are the last program blocks in the forever loop.
I see. These values probably depend on battery level. I guess my batteries were fully charged when I filmed this.
I limited the speed to protect the motors.
it din`t work at mine too
i made a new schript
just coppy it
than past it in the software
can we build this using education pack #45544.
Thanks for share this
Will there be an NXT 2.0 version? If i look to your new projects, i cant see NXT projects any more. Do you stop with NXT? 🙁
Why don’t you give it a try? This design isn’t very complicated and I’m sure you can build it with the NXT 🙂
Ok thanks for the idea! When it works, can i mail the LDD file/instructions to you?
beautiful on-off!
i love it!
English: My Useless machine keeps glitching the motor moves slowly maybe because the force is to strong for the motor????????????
Nederlands: Mijn nutteloze machine maakt foutjes de motor beweegt langzaam misschien doordat de kracht die hij moet gebruiken te groot is????????????
Try increasing the amount of power in the blue motor blocks.
Nice! Another example is the LUUMA from Jason Alleman is also very Funny and educational

This is SO cool!
Duh.
you could attach the two other motors so you have to find it.
Where do I find the software download? Looked everywhere!
TU AS JUSTE A COPIER L’IMAGE C’EST CE QUE J’AI FAIT
je l’ai construit!!!
this will make my dad very annoyed because of the motor the switches the lever to off position. but It will interact with him anyways
The program didnt work!
This …… …. program dident work
Thanks from this! This was awesome and fun. Could you keep making these fun machines?
Hi Laurens, i have a problem…. I download the program but the robot doesnt make anything… The motor is so slow. I dont know to program.
What can i do in the program to make it function ??
Thanks.
Hi Laurens, i have a problem every time I start the program the pusher (the thing that pushes the switch) goes onto the position where it should push the switch but there is no switch there and I doesn’t go back.
Do you know how to fix it if you do please tell me.
Thanks,
Nathaniel
