Since the programming is preinstalled, you can build the TRACK3R out of the box without connecting the Intelligent Brick EV3 to a computer (which is necessary to program any other robot).

The brand-new Lego Mindstorms EV3 platform is designed to make it easy for adults and children alike to program robots. The new platform comes with an all-new series of sensors and motors.

With the new Mindstorms EV3 Programming App, aspiring roboticists can tweak the code that powers their creations wherever they happen to be building them.

Fifteen years after launching its first Mindstorms robots, EGO is releasing a new generation of programmable smart toys.

Lego Mindstorms says the robots' modular designs can enable a youngster to build and program a robot in as little as 20 minutes.
