Summary

In this chapter, you built your first robot using the LEGO BOOST kit: a tabletop fan. Your excitement level was taken one step up by us introducing coding in this chapter. You also learned how to add the BOOST extension to the Scratch 3.0 programming language and connect your BOOST to your device using Bluetooth. By completing a basic exercise, you explored the basics of programming, including turning the motor in a certain way, setting the motor's power, and exploring blocks from the looks and sound pallets. With this basic knowledge, you should be able to build some basic robots using your BOOST kit and write some code to make them move.

In the next chapter, we will be building a robot that will be able to move forward and backward without wheels! Exciting, isn't it?
