Back to: Extras for “LEGO MindStorms EV3 Robots for Absolute Beginners”
For tablets & phones, watch these videos in full screen landscape.
Before we can teach our robot to do what we want it to do, we need a robot. In this 12 minute video Yaya will show you how to build Botticelli. Botticelli is just about the simplest possible robot, so you can get started on teaching your robot as soon as possible. LEGO have two EV3 sets, the Home and Education versions. This build will work for both of them. This video tutorial will work on both a Windows PC and a Macintosh.
If you are using a Macintosh, sometime soon you should take time to download the free VLC media player to your Macintosh, as many of the later tutorials need this media player to play the later videos in this series. You can download the VLC player from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html .
Let’s start!
