Saturday Academy, the non-profit I taught summer camps for, provided my class with pre-ordered NXTs the week they became available. That was before the recession. They are in no position to replace their 60+ NXTs with the same amount of EV3 in the (...) (11 years ago, 9-Sep-13, to lugnet.robotics)

Also I got an interesting reply from lego. I asked them why all of their motors were slow. I MOC'ed a 8090 Supercar together with a 30,000 rpm 7.2 Hobby RC motor. Great in theory… reality not so much. I got it to move quickly and I spun a tire off (...) (11 years ago, 9-Sep-13, to lugnet.robotics)

Glad the EV3 software download is free. It would definitely support the students working on their programs outside of the lab. Of course, in many of the Title I schools, many have no access to home computers. It's going to be interesting how younger (...) (11 years ago, 11-Sep-13, to lugnet.robotics)

| | EV3 Motor Control/Chasing a Target Position

The EV3's motor block can move a servo x number of degrees in a given direction, and the motor stops when it reaches this target. It then continues on to the next block in the program. Some time ago, HiTechnic released a block for NXT that would (...) (11 years ago, 25-Nov-13, to lugnet.robotics)

That's where I started. Clicking on Download on that page takes you to another page that says NXT. Clicking Download on that page takes you to a page that says you're about to install the EV3 software. This is where I stopped the first time. But as (...) (11 years ago, 3-Apr-14, to lugnet.robotics)

Did anyone answer this for you? I am not an expert by any means but here’s my opinion. No and Yes (maybe). As it comes in the box there is not a power jack so… No. If you buy the battery pack and charger, you could theoretically have it plugged in (...) (10 years ago, 5-Dec-14, to lugnet.robotics)
