In this video tutorial we look at an active attachment that uses gear wheel and the attachment is general enough to be suitable for reuse. This means that a lot of different missions could be accomplished with the same attachment. The goal of the attachment is to transfer power to a lever through a system of axles and gear wheels. It is interesting that we change the orientation of the gear wheels.

Power Switch mission model
We first build this mission models to replicate an interesting mission model from FIRST LEGO League 2012 that was called - the stove. With the FLCasts Off-Season course we are now calling it power switch. The goal is to switch the direction of the lever by rotating it.
What to do with the tutorial?
Download the program, build the robot by following the building instructions, build the attachment and the mission model. The three of them could be build from a single LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor 51515 set without any additional parts.

FIRST LEGO League with LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor. "Challenge" competition for 9-16 years old
The goal of this course is to take you through some of the most useful principles for building and using attachments to accomplish missions at FIRST LEGO League competitions. The whole course is based on a LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor and you need a single 51515 set and without additional parts (you will need a second color sensor for the lessons for using two color sensors, but feel free to skip them if you don't have it). For every mission there is a Scratch and Python program attachment. The course consists of 25 lessons suitable for beginner and advanced students. Every lessons consists of a video tutorial demonstrating the principle and how the mission could be accomplished along with building instructions for the robot, the attachment and programs for controlling the robot.
