Virtual NXT
The diagram below visually represents the relationship between the LEGO programming
software, the Virtual NXT, and the Ruins of Atlantis:
• Programs for the virtual robots in the Ruins of Atlantis can be written in NXT-G or the
EV3 programming environment.
• The Virtual NXT is recognized by the LEGO programming software. When you
download a program, it goes to the Virtual NXT.
• The Virtual NXT communicates the instructions in your program to the virtual robot in
the Ruins of Atlantis.
Virtual NXT Licensing
The Virtual NXT programming solution works with NXT-G, EV3, and LabVIEW for
LEGO MINDSTORMS software. This means that with one license you can use any
combination of the different programming languages! Licenses for the Virtual NXT are
can be purchased at http://robomatter.com/ and are available in Classroom (up to 30
seats in one classroom), Team (6 seats), and Single (1 seat) congurations.
The Virtual NXT is designed to help teach mathematics, computational thinking
practices, and programming. It is not designed to replace the NXT and cannot teach the
iterative design and hands-on engineering that real NXT hardware teaches.
The Virtual NXT is not a LEGO® MINDSTORMS® product. LEGO Education or the
LEGO Group does not sponsor, endorse, or support this product
