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

Great app

This app is great although I would like to request this feature: May you please add the Lego Spike Force Sensor feature in this app as well? I have the Force Sensor but I don’t have the hub which means I cannot use the Spike 3 App. I have tried Pybricks but it doesn’t work.
Also can you add this feature as well: A way in the app that allows to update the hub so that you can use it in spike 3 app?

Really cool app!

My hub doesn’t disconnect, and everything runs smoothly. I already made all the main creations and extensions, and they were really cool! I also made a few community creations, and some of my own.

One thing though, and I know this review won’t really be heard by customer service once I say this. Why are you discontinuing the app and the set so quickly? I’ve only started building with it now.

I should’ve used it a year ago, when I bought it. Now I only have two years until the app gets discontinued! After two years, this set is completely useless, unless you somehow connect the hub to Python or Scratch.

I’m really disappointed, as I paid a lot of money for this, and then realising that this set is soon going to be useless.

The bricks last forever, but not the software. I don’t think I’m going to buy any electronic LEGO toy that requires an app, unless I know that the app isn’t going to get discontinued so quickly.

Disappointed about how fast the app is going to get discontinued.
However, it’s a good set overall.

no no can can ,

Need some help please…

So, I’m trying to connect the hub to my phone then the lights are flashing and Blast is making his little beep noise but when it says connect to hub and I press it in the pairing window after I press it it straight up doesn’t let me run the program please help me fi this so I can have more fun with Blast

Thank you for your time

Please respond
