On the plus side, LEGO isn’t forcing the builder to start with a specific robot first. Unsurprisingly, there are no numbered bags in this set, as it’s designed to support a variety of builds. Technically you could do the same with a side-open box, but this makes it so much easier to keep track of everything. In any case, this is a set with a ton of small parts and it’s nice to have the box be useful as a container. Of course, there would be way more brownie points if the sections actually had ridges to keep parts separate and prevent them from rolling around. There are printed sections with 1:1 scale images of parts in order to help the builder organize everything. In the case of Robot Inventor, there is no sleeve, and the box is two separate parts: bottom and lid.Īn interesting feature of the new box is that both halves of the interior have a sorting aid. The EV3 came with an exterior sleeve that you cut to create a playmat, and inside the sleeve was a standard side-open box. But past that, it’s a very different experience. The colorful matte box is roughly the same size as its EV3 predecessor. Robot Inventor contains 949 pieces and will be available beginning October 15 for US $359.99 | CAN $459.99 | UK £329.99. In this review, we’ll take a deep dive to see if this set proves that you shouldn’t judge a bot by its cover. Back in June when LEGO Mindstorms 51515 Robot Inventor was revealed, some people were ecstatic, but many were unimpressed with the features of the new system. Now it’s beyond high-time for the long-awaited successor to LEGO’s premier robotics platform to hit the stage. After all, a lot can happen in 7 years, and that’s how long it’s been since Mindstorms EV3 arrived on the scene. You can also find more help at LEGO Support.The year 2013 feels like eons ago.
