Book description
The LEGO® MINDSTORMS EV3 set offers so many new and exciting features that it can be hard to know where to start. Without the help of an expert, it could take months of experimentation to learn just how to use the advanced mechanisms and numerous programming features. In The LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Laboratory, author Daniele Benedettelli, robotics expert and member of the LEGO MINDSTORMS Experts Panel, shows you how to use gears and beams, motors and sensors, and programming blocks to create sophisticated robots. He also walks you through advanced mathematics, engineering, and robotic concepts so you’ll be able to create your own amazing robots. Programming experiments and in-depth sidebars throughout challenge you, while comics and countless illustrations inform the discussion and keep things fun. You’ll build and program five wicked cool robots, and you will get access to a ton of bonus models!
With The LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Laboratory as your guide, you’ll go from apprentice to EV3 master, one robot at a time.
