EV3 Desk Guardian

An EV3 robot to protect your stuff

Back in 2012, I was working for LEGO Education as a freelance programmer, to help developing the programs for the main robots of the LEGO MINDSTORMS Education EV3 Core set 45544. While tinkering with the set, I built this quick and dirty Ev3 Desk Guardian robot, that shoots with its rattling machine gun to any rogues getting too close to your desk. The simple program was meant to show the capabilities of the Brick Program App, a programming environment built in the EV3 Brick menu, you can write programs for your robots without the need of a computer or a tablet.

You can build this robot with a single EV3 Education Core set 45544. Click the button below to download the instructions for this Ev3 project for free!
