The third generation of Lego's best-selling programmable robotics
platform is here, and features more sensors, motors, and flexibility
than ever. Plus mobile apps.
The brand-new Lego Mindstorms EV3 platform is designed to make it easy
for adults and children alike to program robots. The new platform comes
with an all-new series of sensors and motors. Out of the box, users will
be able to build 17 different robots, including this one, Track3r.
The third full generation of Lego's programmable robotics platform, EV3
is aimed at both enthusiasts -- young and old -- and educators, and
blows past the previous generation with a long list of new features that
add speed and power, intelligent programmability, and more ways to
communicate with the robots. Lego expects to begin selling the product,
which includes 594 Technic pieces that can be used to make five
different robots, this summer at a retail cost of $350. It will also
release instructions for 12 additional robots at launch.
