[Learn at Home 2.0] Fix wheels on 625
The Comet robots instructions were fixed https://www.fllcasts.com/materials/625-comet-a-lego-mindstorms-ev3-formula-1-racing-car
[Tasks, Authors] When creating a task, there is an error that the author doesn't exist and empty author fields appear
Tasks couldn't be created through https://www.fllcasts.com/tasks/new and there were errors about authors. This is now fixed.
[Bug] Mess in new material if the tag is wrong.
When creating a resource and there are errors, author fields no longer multiply themselves. Tag field now appears correctly after there were errors when creating a resource.
[Content Creation 2.0] User can't add other authors' public course sections to his own course sections
Users could previously add only their own course sections as content for a course section. Now they can choose from all course sections.
[Bug, Content Creation 2.0] No CK editor in programs.
Programs' edit and new pages now use a rich-text editor.
[BUG, IC, IS] Step rotation problem in the IS.
The rotation matrix of both parts are fixed. There is a card in Backlog for implementing a better check for whether the matrices are orthogonal, so that we can find the issues at earlier stage.
[BUG, IC] The matrix_precision value is miscalculated
From the build.ini file is passed a value called matrixprecision. It tells the script what should be the precision of the performed checks. Based on it a param called epsilon is calculated. It should be epsilon = 10^(-matrixprecision), but it is epsilon = 10^(matrix_precision).
[Groups 1.0] UX: password not working due to not-activated profile
This problem can no longer occur since we've made it so creating a new user through the group user creation software on the groups#show page automatically confirms the user if the creator has specified his password and password confirmation.

[VEX Competition 2.0] There are still empty steps in the instructions
Empty step is removed.
[Learn at Home 2.0] Sam robot from viber - the one that you push and it pushes
https://www.fllcasts.com/materials/662-ev3-finger-bot The robot is built without a roof, so that building it requires less parts. I uploaded the program to trello. Kiril tied the robot instructions to the program.
[Content] Description is missing for some NRC from level C2
Fixed the description that was missing on construction and theory and programming and theory segments in some of the lessons in level C2

[Curriculum 1.0] D1 Lesson 2
Created the second lesson in level D1. The topic of the lesson is making a Fish robot to learn about Motor rotation sensor. The students have variant tasks for exploring the fish's behaviour in the coral reef and what the rotational sensor does and some more ways to use it. For now it is still mostly in bulgarian, but it will be translated.
[Curriculum 1.0] D1 Lesson 3
Created the third lesson in level D1. The topic of the lesson is making a Scorpion robot to learn about Motor rotation sensor and different axis of grabbing mechanisms. The students have a major task, to detect if the scorpion has caught something in its pincers and then sting it. For now it is still mostly in bulgarian, but it will be translated.
[Curriculum 1.0] Create a second version of the clam robot.
Created a new robot for the first lesson of level D1. link to the robot instructions
The first version of the robot was great, however the motors were upside down. The robot is used in the lesson, where we introduce the rotation sensor to the students. This causes an issue as the rotation sensor reads negative values, which are hard for the students to comprehend. The idea, that -10>-15 is difficult to understand for students at the age of 9 or 10. That is why, we need to modify the robot and flip the motors, so that they count in positive direction.
[Curriculum] Challenge for secret deactivation button
Challenge with steps to achieve in lesson 2 Weighted pressure plate in the course Security and alarm systems with EV3
[Curriculum 1.0] Create lesson 2 in level 3.0

Tutorial is available at How to conduct a mixed lessons class
[Curriculum 1.0] Idea about lesson 4 in level 3.0
The idea is conceived and we are now working on the lesson. A gyro is working as vibration sensor. A prototype robot was built. There are programs created for the robot that proof the concept. Now the task goes to the robot designer and the content creators.
