Can I use LEGO® SPIKE™ Essential with other LEGO robotics systems?

The LEGO® SPIKE™ Essential set teaches students how to code, experiment, and build robots. The good news is that you can combine it with some of the other LEGO robotics systems to create your own custom creations!

We have some of our other robotics sets listed below. Here’s some info about which ones are compatible with SPIKE Essential:
 

SPIKE Prime and SPIKE Essential

All SPIKE Prime and SPIKE Essential sensors and motors are compatible with each other.
 

MINDSTORMS® EV3 / NXT and SPIKE Essential

MINDSTORMS EV3 and NXT components aren’t compatible with SPIKE Essential because they use different connection cables and ports.
 

WeDo 2.0 and SPIKE Essential

WeDo 2.0 motors, sensors, and hubs aren’t compatible with SPIKE Essential.
 

Powered UP / Control+ and SPIKE Essential/SPIKE Prime               

The Control+ and Powered Up components aren’t designed to be compatible with the SPIKE Essential or SPIKE Prime hub, which means they won’t be detected by the SPIKE app.
