to follow lines and make turns more consistently. Approach
collision detection with greater confidence through EV3's
ultrasonic sensor. Learn new designs for power attachments. Winning
Design! is about building with LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 for fun, for
education, but especially for competition. Author James Trobaugh is
an experienced coach and leader in the FIRST LEGO League. In this

will delight you with their reliable performance in the heat of
competition. Good design is about more than just the hardware.
Software counts for a lot, and Winning Design! has you covered.

competitions such as FIRST LEGO League events. Whether coach,
parent, or student, you'll find much in this book to make your
design and competition experience fun and memorable, and
educational. Don't be without this book if you're leading a team of
young people as they build skills toward a future in technology.
