Description

Create intelligent remote-control robots and vehicles using interactive in-app building instructions, with the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Robot Inventor App! For use with the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor (51515) set, this companion app has everything you need to build Charlie, Tricky, Blast, M.V.P. and Gelo, each with their own unique abilities. Then get ready to code and play your way through 50+ challenging activities.

A fun build-and-play experience
As you construct each robotic toy using the step-by-step building instructions in the app, you’ll complete a series of fun coding activities along the way. But if you prefer, you can also download a PDF version.

Coding, the fun way
If you’ve ever used a visual coding environment, you’ll be right at home with the Robot Inventor App’s colourful drag-and-drop canvas based on Scratch. Each coding element is grouped into categories so you can quickly find what you’re looking for. As well as using the coding canvas to complete the 50+ activities included in the app, you can also code your own activities for an even greater challenge – or, if you’re a more advanced coder, you can also use Python.

Take control
The Robot Inventor App includes a remote-control feature so you can get your robot walking, dancing and firing with just a few taps! You can also customise it to create your own personalised controller.

Learn while you play
While you’re building, coding and playing with your robots, you’ll also be exploring, experimenting and learning.

Advanced machine learning
Using your device’s camera or microphone, you can train your models to recognise and react to objects and sounds… even your own voice!

A community of fan models
The Community section of the app lets you build and code a growing collection of fun models submitted by some of our fans.

Share your cool creation
If you’ve designed and built your own amazing robot, you can take a photo of it and upload it to LEGO Life for everyone to see. You can also get loads more inspiration from what others have created.

Key Features:
Intuitive drag-and-drop coding interface based on Scratch
50+ fun and challenging activities for beginners and more advanced users
Machine learning with advanced object and sound recognition
Community section with fan models and inspiration
Hub to hub connection for extended play possibilities
Help Centre with lots of tips for learning and exploring
Text-based Python coding for more advanced users
Bluetooth connectivity for wireless communication
Remote control for instant action
Consistent experience across iOS, macOS.
Digital building instructions included in the app
Kids gain STEM skills through playful learning

Ev3 doesn’t work

I originally downloaded this attempting to control an ev3 robot. But quickly found out it doesn’t work for lego mindstorms ev3 could be a great improvement.

Developer Response ,

Hey, we're sorry about that! You can control your EV3 by downloading the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Commander app, visit LEGO.build/MindstormsCommander-Apple for more info. 📰 - Jayare, LEGO® Customer Service

I want some more things

Hi LEGO, your app is good but i want you to add some more things 1. Line and Bar graphs: i want to have line and bar graphs in the robot inventor app too. It’s unfair if spike prime only has the bar and line graphs. please add the bar and line graphs to robot inventor please 2. Time sensing block: I want you to add a time sensing block that can be configured to use 12 hour or 24 hour clock. and it’ll use data from your device’s clock: add the hours and minutes because this extra sensing block will be helpful for people who made clocks out there.
3. Fix some bugs:
i have experienced some bugs: when i stop a program sometimes the motors don’t stop and also it randomly disconnects. I want you to fix these bugs please.
Anyway thanks for
reading my review LEGO. kind regards Riley

Developer Response ,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your suggestions. We'll pass them on to our developers. Regarding the issues you're experiencing, a firmware update might help. You can update the hub through USB or Bluetooth. First, connect it with the app and make sure it’s also connected to a power source. Start the firmware update by selecting ‘Update Hub OS’ on screen. The hub will restart when the update is complete! - Nelson, LEGO® Customer Service

Poor backward compatibility

The app works fairly well on the latest iOS devices, however will not load on older iPads.
The device compatibility is is very poorly documented in the App Store, which states: “Requires iOS 11 or later”, whereas their developers tell me it in fact requires iOS 13 or later..

Developer Response ,

Hi there. We're sorry for the confusion and appreciate your feedback. Our developers update app features often which may mean updating supported devices or specs. 📲 To view a complete list of compatible deices and operating systems, head to LEGO.build/DeviceCheck-Apple . - Heather, LEGO® Customer Service
