In the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor set there is only one color sensor. The original Gazon is build from LEGO Education SPIKE Prime where there are two light sensors. The idea behind this robot is to be able to build it from Robot Inventor and to use it during FIRST LEGO League competitions
This is the "most valuable player" robot. It has many possible modifications, including ones that allow it to bend and reshape. Attachments and redesigns will soon be linked here, so you get an idea of the few ways MVP earns its title.
An attachment designed for Heavy lifting. It's build with LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor 51515 and it has a gear wheels mechanism that allows you to increase the torque and lift really heavy things. Build the attachment and check out the tutorial. This will teach you one more principle that you could use for FIRST LEGO League competitions.
This almost box robot is build from the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor set. The idea behind this robot is to be able to build it from Robot Inventor and to use it during FIRST LEGO League competitions
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 heavy lifting attachment and it can lift mission models vertically. It is build entirely from LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor 51515 parts. This is one of the more complex and interesting attachments that we demonstrate in the course and it show how a few gear wheels and levers could be used to change the motion from circular to linear. This is powerful concept that could be very valuable during FIRST LEGO League competitions.
These are the building instructions for the Writing attachment for Tricky - the Mindstorms 51515 Robot Inventor's smallest robot. If you build this attachment, you can program Tricky to write different things with its pen by moving. The animation in the instructions below will give you a better perspective for its abilities.

Here are the building instructions for the Turning attachment for Tricky - the Mindstorms 51515 Robot Inventor robot. Tricky might be the smallest robot, built with this set, but it will surprise you with its abilities to spin the ball. If you build this Turning attachment for Tricky, you could try to play a crazy little bowling game with it. As the robot is spinning the ball, you can program it to move forward and then stop, so the ball could go forward (hopefully towards the bowling pins). You can play to see who will be the first to make a strike. The Mindstorms/Duplo ball and the bowling pins are included in the set.

The name of the game? Football!
This Kick the ball attachment for Tricky - the Mindstorms 51515 Robot Inventor smallest robot - is one of our favorites. Imagine a LEGO robot playing football. It is dribbling through the center of the field, it enters the box, it strikes and... goooooooal. What a fun game to play at home, if you decide to build Tricky with this kicking attachment. Aptly named for it’s “trick shots” with the included Mindstorms/Duplo ball. After you're ready with the construction of this robot, you'll find the instructions for building the goal frame below.

This reusable attachment could easily be placed on the side of a LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor robot and accomplish different missions that require the robot to interact with mission models. It uses gear wheels.
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.

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 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?

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
This is an attachment positioned below the robot and used for when we need to push something with the robot. It keeps the cargo in place while pushing. In this way we can achieve a consistent behavior with the robot, which is what we all want
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.
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.
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
