We didn’t have one, so tried several variations to find something that worked. The original Lego Wedo monkey uses a LEGO Gear Box for Worm Gear (see Brick Owl for what these look like). He watched the video of the monkey in action, and then got stuck in. There are also variations with the monkey because Liam isn’t working from an instruction book.
In some ways, it’s a good thing, because it gets him thinking outside the box and figuring out substitutions. As a result, sometimes there are parts missing from Liam’s kit that would normally be in the core kit. At the same time, we didn’t get Technic plates, mostly because we didn’t realise the need. The parts list for a core kit guided the gears and axles he needed, but as we built his set we added other useful bits and pieces. Instead, his set has been built up from a combo of parts. Liam has the hub, motor and sensors of the Lego Wedo core kit, but not the gears, axles, bricks or plates that make up the rest of the set. Liam’s version of the Lego Wedo Swinging Monkey The app is a very big download, just under 500MB, but once you’ve got it installed, it’s very easy to set up and get started. For us, a big benefit of having the project instructions within the app is that they’re all in one place, and they can’t get lost or damaged. The app contains instructions for heaps of Wedo projects, and an image-based coding platform that communicates with the smarthub via bluetooth. As you would expect, it’s compatible with all the standard Lego and Technic components.Īlongside the kit comes the Lego Wedo 2.0 app. The core kit comes with a smarthub, motor, tilt sensor and motion sensor, plus a range of gears, wheels, axles and bricks to create a wide range of projects. Lego Wedo 2.0 is Lego’s entry-level robotics & coding kit, designed for the education space. You can see them all at the top of his YouTube channel, or on his website. He is the mastermind behind The LEGO TECHNIC Idea Book series – Simple Machines, Wheeled Wonders, and Fantastic Contraptions, as well as seven other books. With just a quick scroll through his videos, you can find almost any invention you can imagine.
His projects aren’t your typical Lego models – he does a lot of work with Technic, Mindstorms, Wedo and Boost. We’ve recently discovered Yoshihito Isogawa’s YouTube channel, which is filled with incredible Lego projects.
