LEGO Robotics Kits

Get ready to dive into the world of robotics with LEGO EV3! Build and program your very own creations using regular LEGO bricks and electronic components like motors, sensors and a “brick” (the brain that controls everything). Once your robot is built, you can program it to move, turn, pick up objects and even follow lines using the LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor app.
