The Challenge:
The EV3 will act as our android that we will program to accomplish a variety of tasks. In our first challenge, we will build a bot with EV3 and program it through several obstacle courses. EV3 has no knowledge of these courses, instead you will use your programming skills to infuse artificial intelligence into EV3.
