LEGO MINDSTORMS: Lego MINDSTORMS EV3 (31313)

Good intermediate STEM kit

The EV3 is a great kit to learn robotics, and if you're into it, there's a special flavor of Linux designed specifically for the smart brick. It's pretty straightforward to set that up (read the tutorial very VERY carefully and Google your problems!), and you can learn Python that way which is a great first-time language.

That said, be careful buying these kits Used- there's a LOT of parts that can be missing. That said, the electronics are the expensive part (the sensors, motors, and smartbrick)- if it has those, the misc. gears and bars and stuff can be sourced elsewhere pretty easily. But if you're taking that route, you gotta be okay with substituting parts and whatnot.Read full review

Not actually brand new

The set was not brand new. The stickers had been put on several pieces and several sets of pieces were in ziplock bags, not in the original manufacturer bags. Also, some components were already assembled. Based on the listing, I thought that it was a new set where the box had only been opened. While all of the pieces appear to be there, I was disappointed that the product was not as advertised. Read full review

The perfect educational toy

Great toy for my 9 year old daughter whom is an engineer by nature, and was pretty much carried away with it. Involving mechanics, basic electronics and even a bit of software, it really spans the whole robotics domain. It takes quite a while to compete all models, which it amusing-lasting. I recommend.Read full review

unique pieces and very well made

The Lego set 10236(Ewok Village) is quite expensive but there are a lot of unique pieces that aren't found in other sets. Also contains a lot of minfigs -- all the Ewok minifigs are unique. My daughter loves this set because of all the tree pieces. Overall set is very well made and fun to play with.

For some reason my review is showing up for Lego Mindstorm EV3 -- my kids also have this set. They've had it for a few years and my son is finally starting to play with it with help from various library books which is wonderful. I think it's best for kids over 10 years unless you have someone helping you out.Read full review

Good as new

Kit received seems to have everything included in the 31313 kit (didn't do a 100% verification, but mostly through the build of R3PTOR everything so far has been there). All parts so far tested are in good working condition. Integrates well with the LEGO software.
The plastic bags holding all the parts are a bit cheap and come apart, but those are cheap to replace.Read full review

This is our second one - one was not enough. We use with a whole team of kids and compete in First Lego League FLL

This robot teaches programming, engineering and design. This is our 3rd year as a competitive robotics team. We have won awards and we continue to learn with this robot. We use the sensors and have it navigate obstacles on a course in autonomous mode (no remote control).Read full review

Great stuff!

I’ve been a coach for an FLL team for a couple of years and we use these sets as the basis of our program. This lightly used kit is as expected and in great shape. Looking forward to letting my kids loose on it.Read full review

keeps going

Best purchase ever! We've had it 3 years now & it has held up well. Still much loved too - they haven't outgrown it.

Excellent Purchase Experience

Exactly what we expected to get - most of the components of the Mindstorms EV3 CORE Set. We are using this as a backup project robot for the FIRST Lego League Replay Challenge for 2020.
