LEGO MINDSTORMS Inventor for Android

App summary

The LEGO MINDSTORMS Inventor Builder application is the mobile companion for the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor kit, introduced alongside the set’s release. It delivers an engaging hands-on building and playing environment where children assemble motorized models and interact with them using guided, on-screen directions.

What it lets you do

• Control creations wirelessly from a phone or tablet using the app’s Bluetooth remote.
• Access step-by-step, interactive build guides that walk users through assembly and setup.
• Switch between a beginner-friendly block-based coding interface and an advanced, text-based Python mode for users who want to program deeper behaviors.
• Printable instructions are available as a downloadable PDF for those who prefer paper copies.

How to play

Follow the interactive instructions inside the app to construct the robot models and connect the hardware. Once assembled, use the app’s remote-control features to drive and operate your builds, or write programs in the visual coder or Python editor to make the robots behave autonomously.

Extras and tips

• The app pairs with the Robot Inventor hub and motors/sensors to offer real-time feedback and responsive control.
• Try switching between coding levels as skills improve: begin with block programming, then migrate to Python to explore more complex logic and customization.
