DrGraeme's video: 47 C3 2 Code: Our Lego MindStorms EV3 Robot Clears the Swimming Pool

In this free video tutorial we take up the Challenge of using a Lego MindStorms EV3 Robot to clear an imaginary swimming pool of toys left behind by children after they had departed. It uses the very powerful methodology of taking an existing set of program commands, and modifying them, rather than writing completely new program commands. This fun tutorial follows and builds on, EV3 SUMO tutorials 34 to 37. Because of this, it would be preferable to complete these tutorials before enjoying the tutorial at which you are looking. This tutorial video includes brief closed captions in English that may be translated into about 53 languages using the inbuilt Google translator. Have fun! Playlist Index: This is Tutorial 47 of a very gentle introduction to building and programming LEGO EV3 MindStorms Robots for "Absolute Beginners", using either LEGO's EV3 Education or EV3 Home sets. If you are a new user, we recommend you follow these YouTube tutorials one at a time, because each lesson builds on the previous ones. We assume that you have had no previous robotics experience, and start this fun course from the very beginning by showing you how to use tiny robots so that you can begin coding quickly. Enjoy!
