Sarthi Sheth Presents in S.T.E.M. Classes
Sarthi Sheth presented his robot named is the LEGO Mindstorms EV3. He built the robot with the help of his cousin over the summer and it took two days. The possibilities are endless with this robot because you can build anything you want including a printer, a person-like robot, or even and electric guitar. The set cost $349 and came with only 601 super complicated pieces.
The specific robot Sarthi built was a mix of a different robot and his very own creation. He called it the Ev3rcop. It has three different ways to control it; by programming it, by using a remote control, or by using an app as a remote control. It includes a touch sensor, a color sensor, a spinning tri-blade, a plastic ball launcher, and an infrared sensor. The way the touch sensor worked is by a program that he programmed to stop the robot when it touched something. The way the color sensor worked is also through a program that he programmed to stop the robot when it landed on the certain shade of green. The way the tri-blade and plastic ball launcher worked is through both, program and app control. Sarah used the app to shoot the little plastic balls which go very far, but don't hurt. He also used the app to spin the plastic tri-blade really fast which is also harmless. The way the infrared sensor worked is by app control only. They work as eyes. When it saw something it would alert you by making a warning noise.
