LEGO® Robot

Description

A little machine for a spare moment

The model was handed out as a monthly activity for visitors to the brand stores. It is designed to be clicked together quickly and then set on a desk. The robot has a boxy body, two arms and a head with glowing eyes. At 54 pieces it stays small enough for any corner, and yet it still looks like a proper little figure with a character of its own, which is no small feat. That plain shape makes it a rewarding model to study before you design robots of your own.

Shades of grey with a glowing spot

The colour mix is light bluish grey, dark bluish grey and white, with a translucent light blue on top. That blend feels sober and technical, just as you would expect from a robot. The transparent blue is the only accent and makes the eyes or displays glow. With 20 different part types in only 54 pieces, the model shows how much variety fits into such a small size without ever looking crowded or overloaded.

Good for practice and for gifts

Because the build is quick, the robot suits children as well as adults who want a small project. Collectors like to combine it with other mini models from the same series, such as animals and vehicles. There is no minifigure, so the robot stands entirely on its own. If you feel like it, you can swap the arms and head and try your own variations using different shades of grey from your collection.

Keeping the parts in view

The list on this page names every element with its colour and quantity and shows whether you would need to source anything for a copy. Through the “What can I build?” tool you can also see which other models are possible with your own bricks. Standard grey parts are plentiful in most boxes, so the robot is often followed straight away by the next small project, which keeps the building going. It is well worth a look.
