[Curriculum 1.0] C2 Lesson 6

Thumbnail for lesson 6 level C2

Created the sixth lesson in level C2. The topic of the lesson is sorting and recycling plastic waste. The students build their own robot out of two modules provided by us, so that all of them can transfer balls(plastic waste) in one big production line. While the transfer is happening the students sort the balls by color. For now it is still mostly in bulgarian, but it will be translated.

		           If the part is a module i.e. its extension is *.ldr check if the file exists in the zip.
		           If part's extension is *.dat check if the part exists in the library.

SOLUTION = """
		           There are two reasons for such an error:
		           1. The file that you are trying to build is not a zip archive. In such case,

		           2. If you are sure that the file is a zip archive, then it may be corrupt or the
