At this stage, guys assemble three robots:
- a robot finding a way out of a maze;
- bluetooth controlled robot;
- robot controlled using an IR remote control.
Young engineers build the robots in the order above. To assemble robots at this stage, the guys purchase construction set "Tesla.Megabyte". It includes both mechanical parts: motors, gearboxes, wheels, base, etc., as well as electronic elements and modules for assembling electrical circuits on a breadboard for all three robots that young engineers are assembling at this stage.
In this module, young engineers:
- master working with tools: screwdrivers, keys, pliers, hacksaw, tweezers, etc.,
- acquire skills in processing materials (acrylic, wood): drilling, cutting, etc.,
- acquire soldering skills using a soldering iron, hot air gun and soldering station,
- work with power tools: mini drill (Drimel), drilling machine, sharpening machine,
- perform gluing work using double-sided tape.
Important! Before giving any tool to the children, a conversation is held on safety precautions when working with this tool. All soldering, drilling, turning, etc. work. carried out wearing safety glasses.After completing the assembly, programming and configuration of each robot, all the guys in the group hold competitions to determine whose robot turned out to be more reliable, fast and efficient, which of the guys learned how to control it better, and who programmed the robot better.
