The Lego Mindstorms EV3 Robot

For Christmas, I got a Lego Mindstorms EV3 robot kit from Santa.  And I was excited! I love robots! So, a couple of days later, mom and I started putting it together and programming it.

Mom installed the EV3 software on my computer and her computer.

The EV3 robot came with a bunch of sensors and demo programs.  The program in the picture is one of the programs I wrote that uses the touch sensor.  So far I have written programs using the touch sensor, the color sensor, and the sound sensor.  I also wrote programs using the medium and large motors.

I like it when Kitty is in the room with me and mom.  Mom took this picture when Kitty was next to EV3.

The first robot we built was the Track3r.  It started out with a propeller on the front, and mom kept swapping out the motors and sensors.  Today, I added some Technique Lego bricks that I had in my Lego bin to decorate it.  Mom was impressed.

Mom has made videos of our progress.  Check them out!
