What are EV3 Robots?

eyes

 

You are going to design a number of different Robots using Lego.

After you have built a Robot you are going to program it to perform certain actions.

To make this happen you need to download your Programs from your Laptop onto the Brick using a USB cable.

The Brick is the brain of the Robot.

All computer systems use Inputs, Processes and Outputs. In terms of your EV3 Robot:

An Input puts Information into the Brick e.g. the Colour Sensor tells the Brick when there is a Black line on the floor.

A Process could be a piece of programming that says when your Robot sees a Black line on the floor, stop moving forwards.

The Output in this case would be that the Motors driving the wheels would stop turning.
