Overview of some feature (starts at about 2:50) - from LabView.The information on this page is designed to support this approach. From this base, students can move on to the ROBOTC software typically used with VEX Robots. This kind of software allows users to quickly learn the basics of programming. This software comes with the LEGO NXT 1 and 2 kits. The programming using this software is 'drag and drop'. The LEGO Mindstorm uses software designed by National Instruments. Many SD#71 elementary schools have LEGO Robot Clubs (from there students move up to VEX Robots at the Secondary level). Some sites, like CNET (which checks for malicious attachments every day), may also be worth checking out as a source for downloads. If your link address doesn't seem clear.get some advice about safety.
Use the main site for a program (the VEX site should, for example, say: ). Most contain executable files which can be used to spawn viruses and worms. This page also has links to other software and languages that you might find useful as you build a base of knowledge and skills.Īs always, be careful with any download. There are links to Virtual Worlds that allow you to test out your ideas before trying them in the real world.
This page contains information and links to the programming languages linked to the LEGO and VEX robots used in School District 71.
