Review: This is a great gift for a child or even a middle-aged person curious about robotics. - This is a great gift for a child or even a middle-aged person curious about robotics. I hesitated between the various entry-level kits for robotics - Vex, Lego, Pi/Arduino bots and a few other kits. In the end, I decided to go with Lego EV3 and did not regret it. The pros are ease of use, clear software and many ready examples. The visual programming software was a bit annoying (you have to line the blocks correctly which can be tricky if you use a touchpad or a poor quality mouse), but kids quickly grasped how it's done. So even though I would prefer programming using text commands, I think for an entry-level visual programming is a good start. Moreover, I later learnt how to construct "My Blocks" (basically combining parts of the program into blocks/chunks, which can be reused multiple times) and that meant that the programs would look a lot simpler visually. There are many books/videos/online forums for going beyond the basics. For most of the programming (except the very basic) you will need access to a computer. Lego has software for both Mac OS and Windows. It will help if your computer has Bluetooth networking, otherwise you will either need to get a WiFi dongle (which is huge) or use the included USB cable. The USB cable is long enough for most basic robots, but for experiments with line-tracking the robot can go a bit far away, so it helps if you can fine-tune your programs from the computer and send the results to the robot without the need to re-attach the cable. Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase (actually I bought 2 sets for the kids and one for myself) and highly recommend EV3 set! Take note that batteries are not supplied, so if you're ordering this I would recommend getting: i) at least 12 AA batteries (6 for use in the robot, 6 for recharging). If you're going to build a robot that uses a lot of the engine power, then make sure you have the spare battery set. Otherwise you'll sit around waiting for the batteries to recharge, which spoils the fun. (I got desertcart Basics batteries and they work well!) ii) battery recharger (this one works well for me: http://www.desertcart.co.uk/gp/product/B00IZBAV00/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A28QVT3E6UV0FU) iii) 2 AAA batteries (these are for the infrared remote, if you want you can get additional 2 AAA batteries, but the batteries on the remote last for a long time because they do not power any motors). PS: if you're thinking whether to buy Home or Education version, I would recommend getting the home version (unless cost is not a factor). Then, supplement it with the Education expansion set for EV3 and you'll get a lot more in terms of details. PPS: Once you figure out the basics, you will want to experiment with other sensors. For line-following I get terrific results when I add a second colour sensor. For most tasks requiring accurate measurements of distance, you will need to get the ultrasonic sensor. You can use the infrared sensor for distance measurements, but it's not very accurate and my robot once fell off the table due to incorrect reading of the height. Review: A must have LEGO set for anyone interested in engineering, LEGO, Technic, fun and generally making stuff work! Rewarding! - Awesome piece of tech that I wish was available when I was growing up! Although, I do believe we never stop learning and growing! Marries my three favourite things, technical lego, computers and robots! I would urge any parent to give this to a child that seems interested in how things work or building things. The Android and iPad apps work brilliantly across bluetooth (I haven't tried it with a wifi dongle yet). There is a huge community behind the various LEGO windstorms models and people are constantly providing examples of their ingenuity with instructions on how to reproduce their creations. The build instructions that come with the kit are limited to the very basic model, but that is just about right where you want to start! It's not difficult to build, the instructions are clear and pretty soon you will have a robot that will be remote controllable by IR and Bluetooth, or can be set off on a pre-destined program. Your imagination certainly starts to feel like the limit with this kit. There appear to be extension packs available and extra servos, motors, parts and controllers.... I have yet to get around to programming the brick yet, but I am salivating at the prospect being a software developer myself :) (Although you don't need to be to design the logic as there is a perfectly intuitive looking program for building up logic routines - again not fully tried it, but am raring to go this weekend) ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 36 months - Warning:Only for domestic use - Warning:Only to be used in water in which the child is within its depth and under adult supervision - Warning:To be used under the direct supervision of an adult - Warning:Toy inside. Adult supervision recommended - Build and program walking, talking and thinking robots that do anything you can imagine - Includes Intelligent EV3 Brick and three servo motors, plus colour, touch and IR sensors - SPIK3R is over 41cm high, 38cm long and 40cm wide - LEGO MINDSTORMS building toys are compatible with all LEGO construction sets for creative building - 601 pieces – For boys and girls over 10 years old ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BMKLVJ6 | | Age Range Description | 10+ | | Best Sellers Rank | 696,503 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) 15,652 in Toy Building Sets | | Brand Name | LEGO | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 770 Reviews | | Educational Objective | STEM | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00673419202916, 05702014982734, 05702014982765 | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 48 x 37.8 x 7 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Mindstorms EV3 Robotics Kit, 5 in 1 App Controlled Model with Programmable Interactive Toy Robot, RC, Servo Motor and Bluetooth Hub, Coding Skills Boost Set for Kids | | Item Weight | 1.8 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | LEGO | | Manufacturer Part Number | 31313 | | Material Type | Plastic | | Maximum Age Recommendation | 1188.0 | | Minimum Age Recommendation | 120 | | Model Name | mindstorms | | Model Number | 31313 | | Model Year | 2013 | | Number of Batteries | 2 AAA batteries required. | | Number of Pieces | 601 | | Special Features | Non Toxic | | Target Audience | Boys, Girls | | Theme | Robot | | UPC | 746550815113 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** LEGO - **Educational objective:** STEM - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 48 x 37.8 x 7 centimetres - **Item weight:** 1.8 Kilograms - **Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS):** 120 - **Material:** Plastic - **Model name:** mindstorms - **Number of pieces:** 601 - **Special feature:** Non Toxic - **Theme:** Robot ## Images ![LEGO 31313 Mindstorms EV3 Robotics Kit, 5 in 1 App Controlled Model with Programmable Interactive Toy Robot, RC, Servo Motor and Bluetooth Hub, Coding Skills Boost Set for Kids - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81lmlKqqtyL.jpg) ![LEGO 31313 Mindstorms EV3 Robotics Kit, 5 in 1 App Controlled Model with Programmable Interactive Toy Robot, RC, Servo Motor and Bluetooth Hub, Coding Skills Boost Set for Kids - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71VX0A+vtOL.jpg) ![LEGO 31313 Mindstorms EV3 Robotics Kit, 5 in 1 App Controlled Model with Programmable Interactive Toy Robot, RC, Servo Motor and Bluetooth Hub, Coding Skills Boost Set for Kids - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61J+IToQE1L.jpg) ![LEGO 31313 Mindstorms EV3 Robotics Kit, 5 in 1 App Controlled Model with Programmable Interactive Toy Robot, RC, Servo Motor and Bluetooth Hub, Coding Skills Boost Set for Kids - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71glMoxTZJL.jpg) ![LEGO 31313 Mindstorms EV3 Robotics Kit, 5 in 1 App Controlled Model with Programmable Interactive Toy Robot, RC, Servo Motor and Bluetooth Hub, Coding Skills Boost Set for Kids - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61CcPL7rMYL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: do you have to have access to the internet or are all the instructions in the box?** A: You not only need the instructions but even more important you need the software programming system. You need to download software from Lego and install it on your Windows or Mac computer. This is about 600MB and has everything you need, instructions and programs for 5 robots, help system, programming system, user manual etc. Once you have installed this software you can use it without Internet connection. You can download the EV3 software without having purchased the set so you can read the instructions and try using the programming system before you buy anything. This is a great way to try before you buy. If you do not have Internet connection you can get a friend to download the 600MB software package and put it on DVD for you so you can install it on your computer to try it or to use it if you later on get the 31313 set. There are more robot designs produced by Lego enthusiasts and these can be found on the Internet and Internet is also useful for Lego software updates (but there have only been a few updates which were not critical). Once you have the 600MB software installed you do not need Internet to use the 31313 set. For a complete kit you need the 31313 set, computer with software installed, compartmented box for all small bits, 12 AA Eneloop type rechargeable batteries (6 in set at any time) and a charger which can charge at least 6 AA at a time. It's expensive in total but an exceptionally good set if the kid is interested and will last for years. **Q: Can this connect to a kindle fire?** A: I dont have a kindle fire but as I understand it - it is a cut down android system. If you already have a Fire look in the Google play store for the EV3 apps and see if the Commander App is there. Also the building instructions App. I use both on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 but the building instructions will not work on my Sony Experia Z. Sorry I cannot be of more help. **Q: What sort of batteries are required? And how often?** A: For LEGO Mindstorms you need 6 x AA HR6 batteries. I'm using ENELOOP 1.900mAh rechargeable battery and they last from 5 to 6 hours of operation. **Q: What is the weight of the package ?** A: Between 1.8 and 2kg ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a great gift for a child or even a middle-aged person curious about robotics. *by S***T on 11 August 2014* This is a great gift for a child or even a middle-aged person curious about robotics.

The technic bricks included have been very well chosen by Lego and you can build many different things such as autonomous robots, remote controlled vehicles, or fix robots with precise functions. For example, I found on the internet directions to build a robot that physically solves the Rubik's cube and the program associated was given too. I tried it and it worked, only using the bricks included in this set. It's a really interesting set too learn the basics in programming, in mechanics and in robotics. Cons : The box could have been better. It opens by the side so you cannot use it to put all the parts and search the ones you need... There are very few instructions included in the set. If you want to use all its potential, you will have too search on the internet or to buy a book explaining how to program with the Lego software and how to construct models with enough mechanical resistance. If you are not used to programming, you'll need some time to understand how it works. Last, the EV3 brick works with 6 AA batteries not included. I advise you to buy rechargeable batteries. ## Frequently Bought Together - LEGO 31313 Mindstorms EV3 Robotics Kit, 5 in 1 App Controlled Model with Programmable Interactive Toy Robot, RC, Servo Motor and Bluetooth Hub, Coding Skills Boost Set for Kids - LEGO Technic 61903 Small Gimbal Union 3 Pivots Pack of 10 Light Grey - Lego Education 45507 EV3 Touch Sensor --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/48360676-lego-31313-mindstorms-ev3-robotics-kit-5-in-1-app](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/48360676-lego-31313-mindstorms-ev3-robotics-kit-5-in-1-app) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-09-13*
