EV3RSTORM is the name of Lego Mindstorms EV3’s signature humanoid robot… as in, the one that decorates the front of a rather pricey package. It goes without saying, then, that Lego put a lot of work into the model.
Lee M built this sweet swinging robot for Lego Education. It’s built out a Mindstorms EV3 brick with servo-controlled legs doing the propelling, with a swingset made of a whole bunch of chassis bricks.
Laurens Valk built this quick & dirty “most useless machine” with a Lego Mindstorms EV3 set. It consists of a touch sensor acting as a switch and a servo motor resetting the switch every time it’s pulled. It’s a machine with no purpose other than to shut itself off!
Yesterday I unboxed the new Lego Mindstorms EV3 set, and even before powering on the microcontroller brick, I’d noticed a number of interesting changes, both great and unfortunate, as compared with the previous set, called Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0.
This video by EV3 developer Laurens Valk shows you what you get in the box. The word on the street is that the Technic parts are mostly the same as previous sets, with the EV3 microcontroller brick showing the most changes.
Hackers are chomping at the bit to tinker around under the hood of the new Lego Mindstorms microcontroller brick, the EV3, which packs an ARM9-based processor running Linux.
