Connect the EV3 brick to a computer via Bluetooth by selecting the brick name and the default passkey 1234 in the Mindstorms software; if needed switch to USB and troubleshoot.
Explore the Lego Mindstorms EV3 classroom software and code drawers, using blocks for motors, movement, display and sound, plus events, control loops, and sensors to program a basic EV3 chassis.
Learn basic EV3 movement using foundation blocks to set motor ports and speed, then move forward one rotation and execute a tank turn to form a square.
Learn to assemble and code a touch sensor on an EV3 robot, explore multiple attachment methods, wire ports, and sensor-driven challenges that trigger actions.
Hello! Welcome to the Apera Robotics Course. This course is designed to take any student with varying degrees of experience in robotics from beginner to advanced robotics skills. While this course can be used for general robotics knowledge but some content in the course will be targeted towards skills that would be used in competitive robotics like FLL.
Competitive Robotics is becoming increasingly more popular as technology takes a forefront in this generation. This course is meant for students who are ready to learn robotics or take steps to make their team more competitive. Included in the course are skills that will be very beneficial on any robotics team as well as FLL specific challenges that will help you build your knowledge and problem solving skills.
In this course we will also explain the competitive robotics pipeline and include additional challenges for students to build their confidence.
In this course we will cover:
Unit 1: An Introduction to Robotics and Ev3
Unit 2: Designing and Building your Ev3 Robot
Unit 3: Coding your Ev3 Robot
Unit 4: Exploring Sensors, Attachments and Actuators
Unit 5: Basic Challenges and Core FLL Skills
Unit 6: Advanced FLL Challenges and FLL tips and strategies
