LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor

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.

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

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

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.

This attachment demonstrates the principle of dropping a part inside a container. It uses parts only from the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor 51515 set. The goal of the attachment is to release a lever that is holding the wheel.

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 a flip attachment. Arguably the flip missions are some of the most interesting on FLL competitions. The purpose of this attachment is to accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2020 Cell Phone Mission. It contains two four gear wheels. It is an active attachment. It changes the direction with gear wheels. There is a lot one could learn from such an attachment. It is also build only from parts in the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor Set.
