The primary instructional materials are the PowerPoint/pdf files from EV3Lessons.

  1. Students should first understand why losing precise robot orientation leads to problems in competition, and how aligning on a line can help reduce this problem
  2. Students should then use the PowerPoint file and replicate the EV3 code.
