Go beyond paper mats and household props. The Virtual Robotics Toolkit comes equipped with several sample projects to get you started, a number of competition mats to hone your skills, and even provides the tools to change the physics engine itself. Have you ever wanted to see what would happen to your robot in the weightlessness of space? Now you can! Never again disassemble something that you worked so hard on. The Virtual Robotics Toolkit lets you store your creations as les that live on your computer, making it easy to come back to a project at a later date. https://www.firstroboticscanada.org/cancode/vrt/ 2/5 3/11/2019 Virtual Robotics Toolkit – CanCode – FIRST Robotics Canada GETTING STARTED Step 1: Learn how to use the Virtual Robotics Toolkit and the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 programming software in the step-by-step guide, which can be downloaded here: DOWNLOAD GUIDE Step 2: This software can be installed, free of charge, to a limited number of users*.
