LEGO Mindstorms Challenge: Capture the Flag

We will be working in small teams to build robots using the library’s LEGO Mindstorms EV3 kits. For this month’s challenge, you will need to build and program a robot to participate in a capture-the-flag-style game. Each team will be assigned a color. Gather and bring blocks back to your color square. For the first round, teams will use the IR sensor and remote to control their robots. For the second round, teams will program their robots using the color sensors! For ages 9+.

Did you know that the Library has LEGO Mindstorms EV3 kits always available for play in the MakerLab? The kits are kept on the tall shelf in yellow boxes. Students are welcome to take down the kits and build and program robots.

LEGO Mindstorms EV3 allow you to create and command your own robots. Use different LEGO elements such as a programmable brick, motors, sensors, and various LEGO parts to make your robotic creations come alive!
