Correct the rear wheels

Change the friction axle-pins for the rear wheels with frictionless pins.
Remove the tires from the rear wheels, if you have added any.

Corrections on the motors

Add bushes around the wheel rims. One between the wheel and the motor, and one on the outside of the wheel so that it does not accidentally fall off.
And finally, connect the motors to the brick at a second contact point so that the motors are more stable.

English

It's time for you to experiment and actually fix the common problems with our Easy Bot. First, change the friction pin at the back, then add some bushes between the wheel and the motor and stabilize the motor by connecting it to the brick at the back of the motor. With this ready, you'll have a pretty good robot with which you can do a number of tasks.

Parts, components and notes about LEGO robot constructions

Overview of what is going to happen in module 3

Robotics with LEGO - Level 1.0 - Adventure in Space

The first level of the Robotics with LEGO curriculum for students in fifth to twelfth grades.

Various constructions with robots are built. Learn how to control the motors so that the robot navigates around the Moon and Earth in various ways. Getting to know the first two sensors. The robot can feel its surroundings with the help of the Touch sensor and avoid obstacles.
The Ultrasonic distance sensor can help the robot avoid obstacles. Students work with concepts like loop, degrees and medium motor. Robots can now do two different actions at the same time - while solving missions on a field, the third motor clears detected obstacles.

Коригиране и довършване на конструкцията

We will demonstrate the common mistakes students make when building a robot.

[In Development] The fun level - Game-oriented introduction to LEGO robotics

A level, designed for introduction in LEGO-robotics, focused mostly on games. We use goal-oriented challenges to make the students want to accomplish a certain task, learning a lot in the process. Some of the games we have included here are football, bowling, paper-plane competition and many more. It is suitable for studens 8 to 12 years old, but even older students will have a lot of fun with the activities.

This is a brand new course that we are experimenting with in a groups in June 2019. Keep in mind that it is possible to use it for summer camps and groups, but there are a few lessons that will be improved on the fly.

Lesson 1

We follow the teaching approach of one big task that sets the topic of the lesson and we work on that task only.

Level A1. Introduction. Robotics with LEGO

Introduction to robotics - The first level of the Robotics with LEGO curriculum for students in second, third or fourth grades. A journey in space, with robots. Various constructions with robots are built. Learn how to control the motors so that the robot navigates around the Sun, the Moon and Earth in various ways. Getting to know the first of the sensors. The robot can feel its surroundings with the help of the Touch sensor and avoid obstacles.
