You can't play basketball without a hoop. So here are the building instructions of a Basketball hoop built with LEGO Mindstorms 51515 Robot Inventor set. The other things you'll need to play this game at your own home are a Mindstorms/Duplo ball, which is included in the set, and, of course, a robot. This hoop construction was created to be used with the smallest Inventor robot Tricky and its Basketball attachment. When you are ready with the constructions, you have to program the robot and start playing. Who will score more points in this robotics basketball game?

You can find the LEGO set, with which this was built, by following this link.

You can find constructions created to play with Tricky, by following the links below:

1. Bowling Pins
2. Football Goal
3. Chain Reaction

This flip attachment from LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor 51515 set is design to flip parts. It can flip a manhole for example, but could also flip other parts. The principle of flipping is quite interesting as it uses two axles and a border.

Forth version of a reusable gear attachment. Again, it powers two axles and this time there is a lever connected to one of the axles.

We use this attachment to discuss how an attachment and a module from LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor could be build in an easy to detach fashion. Check out the tutorial in the lesson for this attachment for more information about Detachable Modules

First version of a reusable gear attachment. By following the same principle for assembling the attachments you can change the direction of the gear wheels and build powerful attachments that could accomplish missions in any direction.

Second version of a reusable gear attachment. This time the black gear wheel is at the top. It is useful when you are constrained by space.

This is an Inertia triggered attachment build with a LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor 51515 set. With this attachment we can collect different parts and bring them back to base at FIRST LEGO League competitions. The principle is useful as no additional motors are required for activating this attachment. In the same time it is active which means that it moves and can change it's position in space separately from the robot.. which is useful

This is an pinless robot attachment designed for taking loops. It's built with LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor parts and it demonstrates how to collect a loop while moving with the robot. The attachment is designed for Luly, small LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot with 3D building instructions. There are other attachments that are designed for taking a loop and locking it so that it does not fall, but they are more complex. Search for 'Carabiner' at FLLCasts.com

LEGO Attachment user for throwing/shooting a ball. It is powered with one motor and uses the fact that the parts of the LEGO set could bend. Build and experiment with it. Many FIRST LEGO League competitions have missions that could be accomplished with attachments that throw/shoot

Attachment for grabbing loops build from LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor 51515 set. We use this robot attachment to accomplish missions with loops at FIRST LEGO League. Well, we use the principle, that is what's important. Check out the attachment and the course to understand the principle of grabbing loops.

This 3D building instruction is about a FIRST LEGO League 2020 mission called the Slide mission. To accomplish the mission the LEGO Robot must take two LEGO minifigures from a slide and bring them back to base. The whole attachment is built only with parts from LEGO Mindstrorms Robot Inventor Set.

Yes, this is a single part. The whole instruction is a single part. This is not an error. This is the part that we use to demonstrate a flip attachment. For consistency even though it is a single LEGO Education SPIKE Prime part, we show the part visually, we don't just mention it in the comments.

Third version of a reusable gear attachment. In this scenario a single motor could power two different axles in two different directions. If you use it to accomplish a mission do not forget to send us a video. We would love to see it.

This attachment is a demonstration of how easy to detach attachment could be build for LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor robot where both the robot and the attachment is from the same 51515 set. The principle is useful for accomplishing missions where the mission model should be placed on the FIRST LEGO League field and in the same time should be supported in a way. Check out the tutorial for a demonstration.

This is a complex three parts attachment for the FIRST LEGO League 2020 Replay competition mission called Boccia. The attachment does three things in the same time. It can align to a mission model, It has a contained for boxes that should be dropped and it also has a lever to rotate the boccia target mission model. On top of the that the attachment is working 10 out of 10

You know those constructions that you need to push or pull something and you get a cool chain reaction, right? Here are the building instructions of such a Chain Reaction built with LEGO Mindstorms 51515 Robot Inventor set. This construction was created to be used with the smallest Inventor robot Tricky and its Kick the ball attachment. The goal is to program the robot to kick the Mindstorms/Duplo ball, included in the set, so that the ball could push the lever and start the chain reaction.

You can find the LEGO set, with which this was built, by following this link.

You can find constructions created to play with Tricky, by following the links below:

1. Bowling Pins
2. Football Goal
3. Basketball hoop

This is a power inventor switch mission model. The goal is to "switch" the power by moving the lever from one side to the other. This is a common mission for FIRST LEGO League competitions.

Containers mission models reworked from a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 version available at 778-containers-mission-models-fllcasts-off-season-challenge-2019 to a LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor version available in this material. In 3D building instructions for you to construct them.

This is a distance sensor attachment for Gazon 2.0, a LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor robot with a single sensor. This attachment is place on the robot whenever we want to work with the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor Distance Sensor.

This is a light shield over the color sensor. Covered from the light the color sensor is much more precise.
