DrGraeme's video: 46 C3 1 Overview: Our Lego MindStorms EV3 Robot Clears the Swimming Pool

In this free video tutorial, we set 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 includes a video demonstration of what we would like our Robot to do to push the toys to the edge of the pool, where our non-swimming helper can reach them. This fun tutorial follows, and builds on, the "C2. Robot SUMO using Lego EV3 MindStorms Robots" video tutorials, This tutorial uses the SUMO EV3-G program developed in tutorials 34 to 37, so it would be preferable to complete these tutorials before enjoying the tutorial at which you are now looking. This tutorial video includes brief closed captions that may be translated into about 53 languages using the inbuilt Google translator. Have fun!
