Summary by Kiril

We are working on Curriculum-1.1 that would include a new 7 classes Python with EV3 course. We are developing a lot of animations for many of the robots and instructions with Content-Animations-1.0. About 16 for now that will show how the robots and mechanisms work.

[Curriculim-1.0] Update and unify old sumo fields and arenas in different courses in FLLCasts

The new sumo field is added also in Preparation NRC and in Sumo field Tutorial (not translated)

[Curriculum-1.0] Create Lesson 6 of Level 4.5

Lesson 6 from course 4.5 was created. It builds on the 5th lesson from the course, by adding the proper execution of arithmetic operations, generating only integer goals, and generating only achievable results for the selected numbers. It is a great exercise in programming and math!

[Curriculum-1.0] Add Cables to Robot 356

Cables were added to the Talus robot.

Talus

[Curriculum-1.0] Create Lesson 5 of Level 4.5

Lesson 5 from course 4.5 was created. It helps students recreate the math round of the Australian gameshow LETTERS AND NUMBERS, and clash with the rest of the students in a math game.

[Curriculum-1.0] Move the check what value the color sensor reads to lesson 4 in course 2.0

The tutorial How to check what value the color sensor reads is now part of lesson 4 in course 2.0 - Robots in factories .

[Curriculum-1.0] Improvement plan for level 2.5 "Maritime Journey"

A new course 2.5 Maritime journey was created. It features three robotic creatures (Clam, Fish and Scorpion) and four robotic ships. In this level students focus on the rotational sensor that is part of every motor in the robotics set. Students also learn to use the fourth sensor in the robotics set - the gyro sensor.

[Curriculum-1.0] Create an advanced tutorial for the color sensor from 812 left over

Tutorial How to program EV3 color sensor in Ambient Light mode is added to Color Sensor section in the Teachers training course

Tutorial How to program EV3 color sensor added to Color Sensor Lesson

[Curriculum-1.0] 4.0/4.5 Add teacher note on what modifications should be performed on the my block from Level C1, lesson 6, so that the robot will work.

A tutorial explaining the usage of the EV3-G MyBlock for moving the Boomer was created How to use CarControl myBlock and is linked in the my block too. Must be translated in English still.

[Curriculum-1.0] Create level 4.5

The eighth level - Level 4.5 Game Time- of the Robotics with LEGO curriculum is complete!

With the help of robots designed for games between students, they learn how to work with variables. Robots keep the score of each player and do calculations with the information in the variables.

In order to group functionality all the time, students use the well-known myBlocks. The concept of behavior is introduced and the programs are organized in many threads that exchange information between each other. At the end of the level, the robots generate problems with numbers and the students must create equations.

[Curriculum-1.1] Add spikes the end of Motocar robot

Spikes were added to the forklift robot, that help it keep objects while moving. A new thumbnail will follow soon.

[Curriculum-1.1] Level 3.5 The safe robot - add coin removing part

Additional parts were added to the Scrooge McRobot that make removing the coins it counts essay. Now coins can be added and removed without moving the robot.
