20 Best Lego Robot Kits (from Mindstorms to Lego Marvel)

Top 20 Lego Robot Kits (for learn coding & robotics or just fun)Who doesn’t love robots? Which Lego robot do you recommend for my kid? Many children play with Lego and parents always want to hit the perfect set. The best Lego robot for your kid depends on:

  1. Your budget, there are LEGO building sets from $9.99 to $400.
  2. The type of Lego robot you are looking for: humanoid or not.
  3. Do you want a coding robot or not? If you are interested in learning robotics or maybe just a robot toy.
  4. Your kid’s age. The age reference in the Lego sets is quite accurate.
  5. Your kid’s preferences. It is good to listen to them and also observe what kind of sets they usually play at home.

Today we are going to analyse 20 Lego robot kits. Building kits to learn robotics, mechanics or coding and also building kits just for fun, play and save the universe from the forces of evil.

We have included affiliate links to Amazon. Most sets you will also find in departments or Lego stores but in Amazon lots of them have a discount over the List Price.

Lego educational robots (to learn robotics and coding)

If you are looking for an educational robot for your child to practice robotics with Lego, there are two Lego sets: Mindstorms EV3 and WeDo 2.0. Yes, they look like robots but their functionality and use goes much further. They are designed to learn robotics and programming (among other things because they are very powerful proposals).

What is the difference between Lego Mindstorms EV3 and Lego WeDo 2.0? The age group to which they are directed. But both sets are based on building, programming, engineering and researching with the most varied projects.

Lego Mindstorms Robot Inventor

LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor Building Set 51515; STEM Model Robot Toy for Creative Kids with Remote Control Model Robots; Inspiring Code and Control Edutainment Fun, New 2020 (949 Pieces)

¡New 2020! The Lego Mindstorms is the best-selling LEGO set. This robotics building kit is used in most High Schools (even at college) and Robotics courses for kids. Lego Mindstorms Robot Inventor is an educational STEAM robot toy that makes engineering fun for everyone who builds it. Currently, the best Lego robot for 10-12 years old.

In our house we are very happy to have it.  You will not find it in any toy stores or department stores as it belongs to the Lego Education line.

Creative and coding Lego robot sets

Lego Boost programming robot

Build, program and play. Here we have the Lego Boost. It differs from the previous two that, although it is programmable, its function is 100% to have fun and put creativity to the limit at home and combine with other pieces of Lego.

Lego Boost is a creative toolbox for children between 7 and 12 years old. Once you complete a model, you can program (you’ll need a tablet) the model to move or react to your input. The goal of Lego Boost is to play, create and let children play with their models in motion. It is an introduction to robotics at home.

The others: Lego robots to play and have fun

We have selected the best Lego robot kits out of hundreds of models. Among the different themes (Lego City, Ninjago, Super Heroes, Star Wars …) there are so many sets with robots that it is almost impossible not to find one that your child likes and fits the budget.

You already know that Lego organizes its sets in families and licenses, and I think there are robots in almost all of them. In this list we have included recent sets, since Lego renews part of its collection every 6 months and when it retires them, prices shoot up.

Lego Creator 3 in 1

Lego Creator’s main gimmick is including instructions to make three different creations. It’s like having 3 for the price of 1, and we love it!

Of the 5 girls from Heartlake City, our favorite is Olivia. She loves science and everything that has to do with programming, engineering, mechanics and inventions. The robot Zobo always appears in her sets… And that makes it fair use for this list!
