LEGO EV3 Mindstorms TRACK3R

The other day I built the LEGO EV3 Mindstorms Robot Track3r. I believe that the coolest thing about this robot is that it can be modified to shoot balls in Mission 2. Best investment ever. Below, is a video of me controlling the robot to shoot balls at some LEGO tires with an IR remote. I know the video is rather anti-climactic, but I've never built a robot on my own in my life and I thought that accomplishing this much was a success.

If you're interested in what these robots are all about:

This post is in no way sponsored. Just thought LEGO should get some credit for making some pretty cool toys.

Premise for this Blog

This is a place to share some of the at home projects I've been working on because my current internship is a desk job (doing CAD all day) that makes me miss doing things with my hands and building things.
