Hi,

The Santa has indicated that we (I + 7&5y girls) are having the 31313 kit. The problem is that the kit's projects are quite boyies.

I bet that girls would adore the Poppy :-)

I have studied the different instructions and learned that Puppy's instructions comes with the Education kit only?

What additional parts we will need to build the Puppy out from the 31313 kit? How about SW?

PS.

I'm new in Mindstorms genre so any hints are welcome.

As the EV3 doesn't come with the proper Finnish guidance I've done short instructions for the every Programming Block and happy to share them if needed. I would be intrested to translate the Help section also but where are those files located?

Hi d2mac!

Welcome to EB!

Nice to see another EV3 Enthusiast

I haven't built the puppy yet, so I can't tell you exactly which parts you need extra. You could follow the building guide and look at the part list of the kit you are getting. It's a bit cumbersome, but you can deduct which parts you are missing. Or you could just buy the parts in the educational set.

Not sure whether you are familiar with Bricklink, but here's the inventory for the Educational Kit:

You can compare the list with the inventory of the normal set.

You can also take a look at this article on Robotsquare. Laurens did a pretty decent job explaining the differences:

This article might be interesting as well:

By the way; there's a Mindstorms General Discussion topic which you can use for these kind of questions.

I will be merging this topic shortly.

Thanks Jim,

I wouldn't care to go Education level yet. More I'm looking what parts the Puppy project would require? As well instructions & the program for it?

I assume that Puppy wouldn't need any new sensors, at least on videos I haven't noticed gyro, ultra nor extra touch sensors.

I thought you already had the instructions.

Take a look at this article:

http://robotsquare.com/2013/10/01/education-ev3-45544-instruction/

It's not allowed to share the programs (yet) so I can't help you with that.

Thanx Jim,

Seems that transmission (Puppy pages 1-10) have some Ed.kit parts but the rest seem doable. Though girls have to wait after we get 31313 inventory done for the Puppy.

The basic functionallity probably comes with ease out from the EV3D4.
