LEGO WeDo

The Workshop Crane build with LEGO WeDo 2.0 can be both mobile or stationary. 

Sweeper - a special vehicle designed for cleaning streets, pavements, and runways. The first sweeper is believed to be a construction patented on September 4, 1849 in the United States by CS Bishop, it was pulled by a horse cart. Until the end of the 19th century, 315 solutions for sweepers have been patented in the USA. The first sweeper with its own drive was patented in the USA in 1868. 

Launcher - it is a machine that launches projectiles at a considerable distance. For ages, people have been building machines designed to hurl missiles at considerable distances, such as: Catapults, Trebuchet, Ballistae. 

Little monster - this is our new friend, maybe he looks a bit scary, but he's very nice. Thanks to the crank mechanism, he moves very efficiently and constitutes an excellent base for creating an own creature. 

Helicopter - it is an aircraft heavier than air (aerodyne), which generates lift force with the rotational motion of an engine driven rotor. Thanks to this, a helicopter can take off and land vertically, hover, fly forward, backwards and to the sides. These attributes allow to use helicopters at crowded or isolated areas where classic airplanes can not operate. 

Forklift - it is a motor vehicle with its own drive, used to transport materials at short distances. It is mainly used for unloading works in warehouses, ports, or factories. The material to be moved with the use of a forklift is usually placed on pallets. 

Forklifts appeared in the 20's. of the twentieth century, they were produced almost simultaneously by several companies, including Clark (now Clark Material Handling Company) and Yale & Towne Manufacturing. 

Overload centrifuge (High-G training) - a device used to generate overload. It is used in aviation and aeronautics to test how overload affects humans. It consists of a long arm, and a cabin located at its end. During the rotary motion, a high centrifugal force acts on the cabin, resulting in an overload condition.  High overloads are dangerous for pilots and astronauts (they can lead, for example, to losing consciousness), and during training they learn how to deal with it.
