We had so much fun with this robot that we could not stop us from sharing it. There are a few very important things that one could learn with this robot and precision building is one of it.

Precision
The goal of this robot is to fire balls. That's it. But the balls could have different diameters. The size the of the ball could be different. To successfully fire a ball you must have both tires grip the ball at the same time. If the distance between the tires is to short the ball won't pass. If it is too large, the tires will not be able to "grip" the ball. And this here is a problem.
LEGO Units
The size of one lego brick is 0.8 by 0.8 mm. It is not a centimetre. Ten lego units are 8 cm. It is impossible to build something that has a length or width of 5.54 cm for example. LEGO bricks just do not allow this. You also have a fixed amount of gear wheel with a limited set of diameters and gear wheels. Question is how could you build the construction in such a way that the space between the tires is exactly the length that you need. This is what we are trying to show with this robot.
Courses and lessons with this Tutorial
This Tutorial is used in the following courses and lessons
A robot a "day" keeps the questions awake. Version 2.0 (PRE-RELEASE)
This will be the second version of the course book, "A robot a 'day' keeps the question awake". Currently it is a pre-released. Which means that we are working on it and will release it soon.
1. Build one robot each day;
2. download a ready program;
3. complete three challenges.
The robots, programs and tasks are designed to be used by the student on their own with a really little help from their parents.

A robot a "day" keeps the questions awake. Version 1
"How to use the LEGO robots to facilitate the learning of robotics by my student at home" or simply put - "what to build now?"
After enrolling in this course we will send you a few (1-2-3) emails each month with a title "A robot a 'day'". Each email contains a robot building instructions and/or video tutorials and/or tasks that should be accomplished. After a task is accomplished we might sometimes ask for a video or picture.
This process gives a structure of the learning process where you can learn from the content. The student participates in a course, but from home and on the schedule that you decide.
