Hi Prateek,
I am not worried about extracting the text from the manual. I am worried about
not being able to see the pictures of the peace's that you need to fit together.

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.

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:

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?

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.
expertisekits are around 350 - 400 or so, but don't require electronics
ato get started. Making one walk around a room is relatively easy

I wasn’t aware of so many people doing robotics. So where do you
start 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
Myam really seeking for something that is simple to build and program.
lookingidea 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
infor a robotic club in Sydney Australia to see if they can help.

Hope this helps.
