These are all the robot building instructions. By visiting each building instruction you could see the Tutorials and Courses and Lessons in which it is used.
During a competition a team of students had to build a robot that looks like a musician. This construction in front of the robot is a Trompet and it looks like Ane is playing some music. If you play music on the phone on the side it is really funny to watch it play.
This is the Coffee Pot, along with a coffee mug. It was 2 hours of fun
This magical wardrobe is for little dolls wear and bags. It could be a part of every doll play at any time. Yes. We have daughters.
A hand-driven Ferris wheel for a cascade scene—something like the famous Ferris wheel moment from the movie Le Boulet.
Or imagine a story where... a chicken fights two hunters and sets off an explosion so powerful that the shockwave launches the chicken to the top of the highest cabin, while the hunters are blown so far away they don't even appear in the thumbnail! Or... well, yeah, I remember a story...
Just open your mind to the strangest and most unusual story you can imagine.
Estimated weekly playtime with a good story: ~2–3 hours.
Do you like playing bowling? How about playing it with a Mindstorms 51515 Robot Inventor set? Well, these are the building instructions for the bowling pins and "playground". In order to play bowling with a robot, you'll first have to build one. This particular construction was created to be used with Tricky - the smallest Inventor robot - and its Kick the ball attachment. You could later spice things up and try to play it with the Turning attachment for Tricky.
You can find the LEGO set, with which this was built, by following this link.

Go, robot, grab the ball!
If you want to have some fun and play some ball grabbing with your Mindstorms Robot Inventor 51515 set, these are the building instructions you'll need. As you probably know, Tricky is the smallest robot made from this set. With this ball grabbing attachment, you could program Tricky to grab the Mindstorms/Duplo ball, which is included in the set, and place it wherever you want.

You remember Mighty Coffee? Well, my wife is looking at me building Mighty Coffee and is like "Why can't we have a beer?"...yes, the world around me. At the end of the day we had a Mighty Coffee and MBEER and we realized that both of these are not appropriate for 6-10 years old, but nevertheless the children had a lot of fun with them. They were pouring coffee in the beer mug, then put the whole Mighty Coffee into the beer mug they played probably for about an hour. Built from LEGO SPIKE Core set 45678 + LEGO SPIKE Expansion Set 45680 this beer mug is just clean and beautiful. Only with blue frames. As an engineer I tried to construct it the first time with the children and then ask them to construct it without following instructions. Try it. It is like a puzzle. Build it the first time with the 3D Assembly Instruction and the second time without any instruction.
Play time for a week: ~1-2 hours in total.
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?

Zatter is the big brother of Zat and Zatty. Zatter is here to take the load. It has a large container on its back, suitable for placing different toys inside and playing with them. Built from LEGO SPIKE Core set 45678 + LEGO SPIKE Expansion Set 45680 it was designed by my wife and just slightly improved by me and my colleagues. We spend a good hour or two with the kids placing different plush toys and playing with it.
Play time for a week: About an hour
Zatty is the smaller sibling if Zat. Zatty is small and cute. It's a car on a frame with 4 small wheels and of course two mini figures riding in it or on it. Built from LEGO SPIKE Core set 45678 + LEGO SPIKE Expansion Set 45680 it was designed by my 7 years old daughter and then slightly improved by me and the colleagues.
Play time for a week: About an hour
Zat is fun. Zat is great. It is a simple construction for a car with 4 large wheels. And who does not like cars with large wheels. Built from LEGO SPIKE Core set 45678 + LEGO SPIKE Expansion Set 45680 we had a lot of fun with it on Sunday. It was an idea of my wife and the kids took a lot of time putting things on in and moving it around. Just put things on it and play with it.
Let's play some basketball
Tricky might be the smallest Mindstorms 51515 Robot Inventor robot, but it's definitely one of the greatest. If you build Tricky with this particular Basketball attachment and grab the Mindstorms/Duplo ball, which is included in the set, you'll unlock a whole new level in playing basketball at home. Yes, yes, we know that you'll also need a basketball hoop, so you'll find a link for it below.

This is a garbage container—and it’s fun! Like most real garbage containers, it has only three wheels because one is missing. You’ll also notice that one of the wheels is slightly different and tilted to the side—just like the real thing.
The container is great for play and for storing small items inside.
Suitable for children aged 6–10. Build the garbage container and leave it out for a week—children will naturally engage with it and are likely to spend at least an hour playing with it over the course of the week.
One pumpkin spice latte coming right up! This robot is made to serve the best drinks in the whole continent! It is one of the simpler robots that can be made with the LEGO SPIKE Prime set and it uses two medium motors to move around. The coolest part about the robot is the cup holder where a "cup" can be attached or removed. Bottoms up!
Motorka, from Czech, means "motorbike".
Motorka is a motorbike-style robot with three wheels: two at the back and one at the front for steering. The rear wheels are powered by two medium motors, while the front steering wheel is driven by a large motor.
The robot uses various parts from the SPIKE Prime base set to resemble a real motorbike. For example, at the front it has a color sensor that serves as the headlight!
As you might have seen, recently all the cool kids build tensegrity structures. So we decided to make one for those of you who have a Spike prime set and want to build one themselves! In addition this tensegrity structure requires only parts from the set, which means you don't need to tie any strings on beams or other parts!
At the top of the structure we have two fully functional motors! Can you make something cool with them?
Tohuru, from Māori, means owl.
Tohuru is a SPIKE Prime robot that grips onto an edge and scans for the nearest object! It uses two Medium Motors to hold onto an edge between its wheels. Its head—made from an Ultrasonic Sensor—is mounted on a Large Motor, allowing it to rotate a full 360 degrees. And most importantly, it looks just like an owl!
Big Wheelster, as the name suggests, is a robot with a big wheel! The large wheel is built using SPIKE Prime baseplates. The robot also features an interesting steering mechanism. At the front, we’ve added a touch sensor to detect obstacles—and hopefully avoid them!
Larvy is a SPIKE Prime robot that moves like a larva or caterpillar. It uses a Large Motor to contract and expand its body, mimicking the crawling motion.
Using two Medium Motors, it rotates four wheels - tilting them sideways or upright as needed - so it can move forward!
A program for the robot can be found here: Program for Larvy - LEGO SPIKE Prime robot
Instructions for building a LEGO truck. We use a medium motor for steering and a large motor for driving one of the rear wheels.
