This astronaut uses two motors to create a coordinated walking motion through an out-of-phase movement between the legs. The mechanism also uses a clever set of linkages that help maintain the astronaut’s center of gravity while walking.
The combination of the motor synchronization and linkage system allows the astronaut to achieve a smooth and stable walking motion. 🤖🚶

Bring music to life with this fun LEGO SPIKE Essential Guitar Player! Watch the musician move while playing the guitar!

The guitar uses the SPIKE Essential 3×3 LED display, allowing you to program it to show different colors while the guitar is being played. You can customize the lighting effects to match the rhythm, create animations, or simply make your performance even more exciting.

Everything you need to build and program this project is included in the PDF, making it easy to recreate and customize.

In this project, you'll build a record player where you create the music. The vinyl record is made from 4 interchangeable colored plates, and you decide the color combination. Once your custom record is ready:

🎨 Choose the colors for the 4 sections of the vinyl.
💿 Place the vinyl on the player.
🎶 Lower the record player's arm.

The built-in Color Sensor will read each colored section as the record spins. Every color is assigned to a different musical sound, so your unique color sequence becomes your own custom song!

Experiment with different color combinations to compose endless melodies and discover your favorite tunes.

This LEGO instruction is honestly my wife’s favorite!
Build youself a LEGO SPIKE Essential Blender!

How it actually works? Quite simple, silly, and surprisingly satisfying: Blender arm down, the motor starts spinning like a tiny LEGO tornado. Blender arm up l, then everything stops instantly. The arm’s angle decides whether the blender is “on” or “off" with the tilt sensor magic. It feels exactly like a miniature version of her real mixer, which is probably why she fell in love with it.
You can find all the details on my Not Just Bricks Patreon page. The programming code is included, so you can build it, code it, and play right away!

What would you or your loved one like to see next?

Meet Wall.E!

A tiny robot with big puppy eyes energy built with LEGO SPIKE Essential.
Powered by two motors, Wall.E can:
1. Move forward- confidently rolling into adventure
2. Move backward- sometimes with dramatic flair
3. Turn left - curious about everything
4. Turn right- especially snacks (exacly like his daddy, fan of plantain chips).
This build is meant to be super accessible for beginners: simple structure, expressive face, and just enough motion control to make it feel alive. The best part is how Wall.E’s design gives it that irresistible please adopt me look, like a robot trying its best to be your loyal sidekick.

Here are the building instructions (links also in bio: https://www.patreon.com/posts/150804529) #

Welcome to the very first project in our Space Adventures series! Today we're building the amazing Perseverance Rover, the robot that explores the surface of Mars! 🔴

This project uses:
🛞 2 motors to drive around
🦾 A robotic arm
🎨 A color sensor
💡 The LED display
Because the SPIKE Essential Hub can only connect to 2 devices at a time, the rover has 2 fun modes:

🚗 Explorer Mode
Connect the 2 motors.
Drive the rover around just like Perseverance exploring Mars!
🔬 Lab Mode
Connect the color sensor and the LED display.
Move the rover's robotic arm over different colored objects.
The rover will "analyze" each color and show the result on the LED display, just like scientists use Perseverance to study rocks and soil on Mars!

WeDo 2.0 Dinosaur Collection (11 projects)

https://www.patreon.com/collection/1595529?view=expanded

The collection includes 11 dinosaur-inspired projects, each designed to help learners explore engineering, mechanics, creativity, and scientific concepts through hands-on building.

Throughout this collection, we investigate different types of movement found in prehistoric animals, including:

- Bipedal locomotion (two-legged motion)
- Quadrupedal locomotion (four-legged motion)
- Flying motion and wing mechanisms
- Aquatic movement concepts

The 11 projects included in the Dinosaur Collection are:

🦖 Velociraptor
🦕 Ankylosaurus
🦕 Diplodocus
🦖 Triceratops
🦖 T-Rex
🦖 Compsognathus
🦎 Dimetrodon
🦕 Parasaurolophus
🦕 Stegosaurus
🦅 Pteranodon
🌊 Mosasaurus

Leopards are quick animals, and this LEGO leopard is quick too. It uses a clever mechanism with wheels and moving linkages. The wheels help it move very fast, while the linkages make its legs look like they are walking. This gives the illusion of a real leopard running!

You can program the leopard to move forward and backward. It is a fun way to learn about animals, engineering, and coding.
