Introduction to Programming LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 Teacher’s Guide The Introduction to Programming EV3 Curriculum was produced by Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Academy. Description MindCub3r is a robot that can be built from a single LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 home set (31313) or from EV3 Education Core and Expansion sets. Use the EV3 Programming tool to build a program for you robot and bring it to life. This short video explains how you create your first program and how you transmit the program from the App/Programming software to your robot’s EV3 P-brick (the brain of your robot).

Rated 5 out of 5 by NightSerpent from Best Mindstorms Ever After months of waiting I finally got the Mindstorms EV3 last week. With my 2 sons I assembled the first robot Tracker together and got it moving within an hour. Downloading and installing the Mindstorms software for our MAC laptop was easy and a matter of minutes to get it going. The software is easy to use and we got the other bonus robots immediately from the LEGO website. With still over a dozen robots to chose from this set has weeks of play fun still ahead of us - not to mention the unlimited possibilities of creating robots on your own. Using the Tracker robot I could show my sons how to use the robot with a running program as well as by switching it to IR control quickly since its so intuitive to use.

There are only 2 things which were a little disappointment: The Mindstorm set was announced to have instructions for 5 robots included - but the box had only the instructions for the Tracker robot included. This is not a major problem because you can get the building instructions for the other ones (Gripper, etc.) from the Lego website. What would have been nice if the building instructions would have been part of the project files (not only the program itself) and if everything would have been a single download file. All in all this set is amazing and offers given the amount of robots (15) out of the box the best price / performance of all lego sets. Rated 1 out of 5 by Villa from Nightmare I wish I would have never gotten this for my son for his birthday. The charge for double a batteries is so horrible you have to change out weekly.
