Courses and lessons with this Material

This Material is used in the following courses and lessons

Level C1. "Transportation". Robotics with LEGO

This is the fifth level in the Robotics with LEGO curriculum for students in third or fourth grade.

For the first time robots with steering wheels are built in this level. Those robots use one or two drive motors. The work of the differential and its usage in vehicles is explored. Students learn in-depth the working of the light sensor to create better line-following programs. The first two-wheeled motorcycle-robot is built.

Lesson 2 - Off road truck

Introduction

In the previous lesson we've learned that the wheels of the car are rotating with different speed when the vehicle is making a turn and that is the reason they cannot be connected to the same motor. But what if we connect only one of the rear wheels with the motor and we leave the other one free?

Today we're experimenting with a truck that is designed to transport cargo through rough terrain. The focus here again is on the construction. Hopefully, you've learned to park in the previous lesson, because you may need it again!
