I'm  using EV3 and other Lego kits for some time now and  did not
particularly have issues except its graphical interface that's messy.
I've had quite a success building that I wanted by using command line though.

@pranav sir, I did extract the PDF  manual using OCR. Let me know if
you want mt o send the same to you.


Quorum sounds like an exciting thing. I've not heard about this
before. Going to give this a try next weekend!
Cheers!
Prateek.

Hey folks,

If you use Quorum, we made web materials for how to program it. All of it
is free, accessible, and works with the EV3. Here's a link to all of our
robotics tutorials:

https://www.quorumlanguage.com/documents/tutorials/lego.php

And here's a direct link to our getting started tutorial on how you set
them up to work with Quorum:

HTH, it's a legit alternative, works, and we provide it to the public for
free,

Hi,

What about this vex platform? I got the impression those were pretty
easy to build as well and the coding was accessible, amI wrong?

The Lego manual is a pdf. You can extract the text with Adobe Acrobat.

Thanks John.

I wonder, how do we read the LEGO manual? I believe it is graphical.

Hey Sean,



All else being equal, LEGO is probably the easiest I've seen so far.
The
kits are around 350 - 400 or so, but don't require electronics
expertise
to get started. Making one walk around a room is relatively easy
with
a
little practice.

I wasn’t aware of so many people doing robotics. So where do you

if you are completely new and don’t have a degree in electronics or
programming, and are just interested in learning for a hobby. How
much
are basic robotic kits? I don’t have anyone who knows electronics,
so
I
am really seeking for something that is simple to build and program.
My
idea is to build a robot just to walk around a room. I don’t know
how
difficult this would be or not.

Any resources or tips would be great. So I can start. I will be
looking
for a robotic club in Sydney Australia to see if they can help.

Hello:

    The Vex platform has pieces that bolt together. The robotc was
fully accessible. I used a command line to compile my programs. If
I
recall correctly, I used a USB cable to transfer the code. This
was
in
2007.

Hello

and how accessible was the Vex platform? regarding both, software
and hardware?
