I take a robotics class in which we use Mindstorms EV3 bricks, and get to program actions for the bots we build. Only issue is the given program used to code the robots from my teacher is absolutely horrendous to comprehend. Scratch is much cleaner, easier to understand, and is just something i'm used to. I was wondering if Scratch Link could be an app of some kind.

Well, there is a Mindstorms EV3 Extention in 3.0. I don't know what scratch link is, though. I'm pretty sure that as long as you can connect your Mindstorms to your Chromebook, you're fine.

EDIT: Fixed a typo.

It specifically states that you need Scratch Link in order for it to work though…

Hmm… If Scratch Link is needed, I don't think it'll work unfortunately… Looking here: https://scratch.mit.edu/ev3, it seems to only be compatible with Windows 10 and MacOS.

Which is why I was hoping the Scratch team could somehow remove the need for Scratch Link entirely, or just add support for chromebooks?

I looked it up and you can now use scratch link on Chrome OS, its in the google play store.

Not on chromebooks it doesn’t! Ya just need bluetooth or some wires.
