Luly is a new STEAM competition robot from LEGO Education SPIKE Prime. We would use in some of the courses. It's simple, it requires a really small number of parts and we can demonstrate most of the attachments and programs with it. Check out the courses below and see how Luly is used to compete in a competition.
Containers mission models reworked from a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 version available at 778-containers-mission-models-fllcasts-off-season-challenge-2019 to a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime version available in this material. In 3D building instructions for you to construct them.
This is the Prime Power Switch mission as we've designed it for FLLCasts Off-season Challenge. It it a useful mission to accomplish with different attachments and approaches. The mission is to rotate the lever of the mission model.
The LEGO Mindstorms EV3 version of this mission model is available at Power Switch mission model. FLLCasts Off-season Challenge
The Bench mission in FIRST LEGO League 2020 was one of the more complex missions during the competition. It involved two things - lifting part of the mission model and bringing it back to base and in the same time dropping 4 different boxes which was difficult to achieve. We came up with two solutions for SPIKE Prime and for Robot Inventor and this is the Robot Inventor solution. Take a look. You will learn how to build complex attachments doing more than one thing at a time.
This is the creation of my daughter. She said that this is a "Chicken" exhibited in a museum. Which is nice.
2 hours of fun on Sunday with the daughters. Each of them was taking turns, walking with them around the house and using them
This is the Coffee Pot, along with a coffee mug. It was 2 hours of fun
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.
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 cascades. Something like the famous Ferris wheel scene from Le boulet movie.
Or create a story like... Where the chicken fight two hunters and blows them away with explosion so powerful that the shock wave blow away the chicken to the top of the highest cabin and the hunters are blown away that far they are missing in the thumb nail! Or ... Yea, I remember a story ...
Just open your mind for the most strange and unusual story you can think of.
Weekly playtime with a good story: About ~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.

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.

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.

Are you a football fan? Here are the building instructions you'll need for the construction of the Football Goal, if you decide to play it with a Mindstorms 51515 Robot Inventor set. You'll also need to build the smallest robot Tricky with its Kick the ball attachment. The Mindstorms/Duplo ball is included in the set.

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 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.
So I was looking around the house and I thought- "This will be fun for the kids. Let's build a coffee machine". Little did I know how fun it will be. Built from LEGO SPIKE Core set 45678 + LEGO SPIKE Expansion Set 45680 this Coffee Machine has a lit that could be opened/closed and is with the right size for the hands of an 6-10 years old child. What my daughters did with it is to have some coffee with the other toys. It is fun for them to construct and was really interesting that you can open and close it. As an engineer I had the chance to tell them a few words about the valve on the machine and why it is needed. Best ~2 hours of play for this week.
Play time for a week: ~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?

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.
