Winning Design! is about building with LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 for fun, for education, but especially for competition. Author James Trobaugh is an experienced coach and leader in the FIRST LEGO League. In this book, he shares his hard-won knowledge about design principles and techniques that contribute toward success in robotics competitions.
Winning Design! unlocks the secrets of reliable design using LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3. Yoüll learn proven design patterns that you can employ for common tasks such as turning, pushing, and pulling. Yoüll reduce and compensate for variation in performance from battery charge levels and motor calibration differences. Yoüll produce designs that won¿t frustrate you by not working, but that will delight you with their reliable performance in the heat of competition.
Good design is about more than just the hardware. Software counts for a lot, and Winning Design! has you covered. Yoüll find chapters on program design and organization with tips on effective coding and documentation practices. Yoüll learn about master programs and the needed flexibility they provide. There¿s even a section on presenting your robot and software designs to the judges.
Winning Design! is the book you need if you're involved in competitions such as FIRST LEGO League events. Whether coach, parent, or student, yoüll find much in this book to make your design and competition experience fun and memorable, and educational. Don't be without this book if you're leading a team of young people as they build skills toward a future in technology.
What You Will Learn
