FLL Tutorials
The Seshan Brothers have many models that can be made on this site including basic FLL ready models with sample attachments. This site is a must see.
Tech No Logic Team webpage
a few nice designs for attachments with the LDD files included
Damien Kee's Website
Creater of the RileyRover. He has many great links to help you find what you are looking for.
Techbrick
Huge set of resources. Table mats that can be purchased, key pieces to look for, and so much more. A must see site for working with FLL and EV3s.
Technicopedia
This is a resource for understanding and using Technic Pieces. Very handy for knowing how to use the more obscure pieces.
Isogawa's Lego Studio
Official LEGO Master Builder. Comes up with original designs unlike other previous designs, and many of the designs are great inspiration for how to accomplish tasks. Writer of several books on technic designs and uses. Instructions and programs for some models. Video and pictures of many others. Site is in Japanese with some English provided.
Boilerdude35
This fellow provides Youtube tutorials, and many ideas for how to build and program EV3s. Great resource. He has a book out now, but we haven't looked at it...yet. (this will be changing)
FLLCasts.com
Programming tutorials, Build instructions, and so much more at this site. Pay subscriptions required for many things. You can also search for specific videos on Youtube with "Fllcasts" in the terms to find more of the topic you are looking for.
Alternate Programming for the EV3
This is software options for other ways to program your bot besides the official LEGO software. This may give you more programming power and options than otherwise available.
Danny's LAB
This is not related to FLL in any way, but he has some advanced plans that you can build for fun or for ideas. He also wrote several EV3 books that can be purchased on Amazon or other retailers
http://sariel.pl/books/
The Unofficial LEGO Technic Builder’s Guide, 2nd edition. We highly recommend the book and his site and Youtube channel are very inspirational.
Brick Experiment Youtube Channel
Really nerdy experiments with LEGOs. Like seeing how fast a wheel can spin before it comes apart. Great for geeking out.
Green Gecko Lego Technic WorkshopWe are just entering the world of LEGO pneumatics. This looks to be a key resource.
nicjasno Youtube Channel
Very advanced pneumatics. Not much more we understand about this yet.
oracid1 Youtube Channel
Another very advanced builder channel. Quadriped walkers, tank tread stair climbers, and other very interesting projects.

This is the set of official bots found in the EV3 Education software. This is using the parts in the 45544 kit which is what most teams use for FLL Challenge. This includes attachments easily attached to the "robot educator" build bot from the software and engineering designs that can be adapted for attachments. This is a MUST SEE site for new and rookie teams.
www.lego.com/en-us/themes/mindstorms/buildarobot
This is the set of official bots built with the Lego EV3 31313 (the home edition) instead of the education version, Lego EV3 45544. You can easily adapt these, though. Some really cool and well designed bots here for showing off. Or maybe learning from?
