- The primary tasks in this lesson are expected to be done by the students in about 90 minutes.
- The immediate shutdown of an EV3 brick after booting may be an indication of a failing battery. MicroPython does not issue low battery warnings.
- Removing the SD card from the robot during starting/shutting down the brick will block the process.
Do not remove the SD card until the brick is fully shut down. If you block the brick, take out the battery and then you can reinsert the SD card. Note that removing the battery is strictly forbidden for students.
- The robot does not shut down automatically. If you forget a brick turned on, you will find it with a dead battery on the next day.
Courses and lessons with this Tutorial
This Tutorial is used in the following courses and lessons

Python with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 - Level 1
The course introduces students to the programming language Python. We use LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Robots. Python is a popular programming language. It could be used for introducing students to programming, for academic studies, for developing machine learning algorithms and as a general-purpose language.
During the course, students learn how to read and how to develop Python programs. They use an Integrated Development Environment called Visual Studio Code. Robots are programmed to perform interesting and funny tasks like "bringing you water". The level ends with competition on a playing field with boxes.

Lesson 1 - Beverage Assistant
Introduction
Anyone who decides to develop themselves in the field of robotics does so because they have been dazzled by the possibilities of automation in everyday life.
Whether you wish to build a multitude of small robots that work together to make your life easier or a big humanoid robot that does your homework for you, you have also come here to create your own robots.
In order to create complex robots, we first need to build simpler ones but this does not mean that they cannot be functional. "Paalia Technology" is one of the companies that began manufacturing and selling robots that are programmed to be waiters and today we will make a simple robot that serves tables today.
For most of us, these are the first steps into robotics, which is why we will start with a simple platter robot that moves to a specific location and returns.
In every lesson, we will learn how to make increasingly more complex robots and you will be able to automate more aspects of your life.
