For Beginners: LDCad 1.5 Part Bins for EV3 Education 45544-1, Epilog
Having the part bins set up made the learning curve for LDCad a lot easier. I then figured out how to use LPub3D.1.3.4 to generate the building instructions I wanted.
The robotics students study line/edge following using the standard robot described in the EV3-Education kit which has "wheelchair" steering with one motor on each side. Students who finish that challenge early are going to be given a different configuration robot: a front motor assembly that drives the robot and a sideways mounted motor to steer by turning the whole front assembly.
The robot only uses one piece that isn't part of the EV3-Edu kit: a thin wheel with a hard rubber tire that I can buy at BrickLink for about $0.25. It's part 3482c03.
LDraw file generated by LDCad 1.5 and building instructions below.
