Summary

In this chapter, you learned how to control and communicate with the EV3 robot by several different means. We controlled the robot using Brick Buttons, the Infrared Beacon, and smart device apps.

In the next chapter, we will explore various forms of output from the robot, including sound, lights, and the display.
