How far will the robot move for one second?

Why we will never use seconds in our lessons.

Experiment with the software for about five minutes, before we even give you any directions.

So far we know how to make a turn in an arc, just like the real cars do.
Today we will see what other options our robots have for turning.

Before moving forward here is the simple task of building the mechanism and extending the legs. Extend the legs to fifteen LEGO units. 

Recap on the attachments, their purpose and how you should use them. 

Need to transfer circular into a linear motion. You need a rack. Here is an attachment with a rack for our box robot.

Sometimes the way an axle is placed is just not suitable for a certain attachment and you should transfer the motion to another axle a few LEGO units above the current. 

This one is very special- an attachment that could lock itself on purpose while working. 

Try to build the attachment following the instructions. Use it to actually solve a mission from any competition (like taking loops)

In this Episode, we create the next attachment for the box robot two. It is again a pinless attachment, attached to the frame that transfers the motion to a vertical axle. 

The next step of lifting a robot to a mission model is to try to use a rack.

Remember the passive/active attachment separation that we are making at FLLCasts.com. This applies for all the attachments and in this Episode, we are looking at how to use a passive attachment.  

Build a robot base to use in the course. You can use the robot base provided by us or you can build one yourself. 

Don't limit yourself to the box and think of different ways to lift the robot.
