Description

Build it, program it, test it

This set is for anyone who wants to combine bricks with technology. At its centre is a programmable control brick to which motors and sensors can be connected. From these you can make robots that drive, grab or react to their surroundings. What sets it apart is that you do not only click pieces together: a program is what gives the model its behaviour. Anyone who hunts for errors and improves routines picks up, almost by accident, how controls and feedback loops work in practice.

A mix of technic and bricks

The 621 pieces come in 85 different types. That is fairly few and shows that many parts appear several times over, above all beams, connector pins, axles and gears of the kind found in moving constructions. On top of these come the electronic components that separate the set from classic brick builds. It is exactly this mix that appeals to tinkerers, because the result feels more like a small workshop than a toy house or a town street.

Black, grey and blue

The colours are sober: black, light bluish grey, blue and very light bluish grey dominate. That fits the technical character, as the robots are meant to work rather than look like play figures. The blue adds a little freshness to the grey look. Since the set contains no minifigures, it appeals less to children who like to act out stories and more to tinkerers who would rather work on the mechanics and tune each model to their own ideas.

Parts list and reuse

The parts list on this page lets you check whether a second-hand set is complete. Technic sets in particular often lose small pieces such as pins or axles, and the list shows you exactly what belongs. If you want to use the bricks elsewhere, “What can I build?” helps: it shows which models you can assemble from your collection. The technic parts especially combine well with other sets for building vehicles or machines.
