  The location of the crash logs would depend on the system you are using. I have mapped out the three candidates below:
  
  If you are using the classic **LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Education** software:
  
  * Open your existing or a new experiment.
  * Go to the *Tools* menu and select *Data Log File Manager*.
  * Browse to the `.rdf` file and click the *Import* button. (It can be on the brick or on your computer.)
  * If the directory is empty, there are no crash logs (yet)
  
  If you are using **EV3 Python**, you are running through Visual Studio Code, and the crash handling will be done by VS.
  
  On Windows, this would make the crash logs appear under `%AppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\`
  
  If you are using **EV3 Classroom**
  
  On Windows, this would make the crash logs appear under `%AppData%\LEGO\Mindstorms\Logs\`
  
  On OSX, you can look for them at `/Applications/LEGO\MINDSTORMS\EV3\Home\Edition.app/Contents/MacOS/MindstormsEV3`
  
  If you are using **some third party program**, the program provider should be able to advise you where logs are stored.
