Lego Mindstorms EV3 is the third generation robotics kit in Lego's Mindstorms line. It is the successor to the second generation Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 kit. The 'EV' designation refers to the 'evolution' of the Mindstorms product line. '3' refers to the fact that it is the third generation of computer modules - first was the RCX and the second is the NXT.

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. Verified purchase: Yes Condition: New •. Worth the price if your child uses it. Search Youtube 'Lego challenge 2014 My son has Lego club once a week and they are working on the Lego 2014 challenge. I purchased this Item so he could get some practice working on the programming.

It was expensive, but I felt It was worth it. I would rather have him spend hours programming the robot and working out solutions than playing video games all day.(He definitely surprised me on how quick he learned to use it.) This is not the type of present you just give to a kid and walk away. (I think most kids will need some guidance and friendly competition keeps them coming back. Otherwise it will collect dust)Down load programming soft ware so they write programs for the robot. Don't just use the remote control. I also purchased a book about Lego Mindstorms that we keep in the car that he browses on trips. He also uses You Tube to research things like the color sensor.

Great STEM learning platform! Excellent next step for young LEGO enthusiasts (and old guys like me wanting to encourage STEM learning in our children and grandchildren)! The set is beautifully designed and engineered. The only real shortcoming is lack of a decent manual.

I bought The LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Discovery Book by Laurens Valk, which provides excellent tutorial information and several beginner and advanced projects to fill that void. I am very pleased with the combination of the EV3 and the Valk book! Marketing gostinic i restoranov durovich. Verified purchase: Yes Condition: New.
