When Lego introduced the Mindstorms EV3 earlier this year, it bundled building instructions for five "hero" models, several of which can be seen in our CES hands-on. But that complex kit of sensors, modules and bricks lends itself to endless possibilities, and Lego community members have come up with 12 more designs, three of which were unveiled today. These include a dinosaur, a guitar and a whack-a-mole-style arcade game. The latter two, particularly, are decidedly whimsical implementations compared to the usual ambling robot -- and we can't wait for Lego reveal the rest of the bonus models later this year.
As part of the announcement, these contraptions and more will be part of a summer cross-country tour called SparkTruck, where Lego will join up with Stanford's d.school Institute of Design to teach children how to start prototyping. What with the EV3 educational platform set to land in schools this August, Lego's timing is certainly spot-on. After the break, have a peek at the fully built creations that kids can look forward to, along with a video demo.
