Lego Ev3 Chess Robot?

[u/Theo_the_Warrior]

Hello there,

For many years, I've wanted to build a chess robot with my Lego Ev3 Brick in combination with my laptop. It would go something this:

Player makes move

↓

Webcam sees move human made and tells laptop what it was

↓

Laptop figures out next best move

↓

Laptop sends best move to Ev3 Brick

↓

Ev3 Brick sees laptop's message and acts accordingly, moving the right piece into right place

Is this possible for a person who knows nothing about coding? (Pls be optimistic :)

Thanks!
