BasicTutorial – LeoCAD This tutorial is designed to show you the basics of LeoCAD. You will learn how to browse the pieces list, add pieces to a model, move and rotate pieces, create a model with multiple steps and change the camera position. Through these exercises, you will create a race car and driver. Keep in mind that the user interface is different between Operating Systems, so if you're not running the MS Windows version of LeoCAD your screen may differ slightly from what's shown here. Step 1: First, start the LeoCAD application. LeoCAD presents a standard graphical user interface: a titlebar, menus, and toolbars at the top; a status bar along the bottom; and a workspace with tool-windows in the center. Step 2: Start the model by adding a blue 1x4 plate. First, expand the Plate category in the pieces list (by default, this is displayed along the right edge of the workspace) by clicking on the [+] icon next to Plate. Now add the brick to the drawing area: Click the Insert tool. to indicate Insert Mode. .

YoungBotBuilders: FLL Teambuilding Activities One of the major components in FIRST LEGO League is teamwork. How does the work get divided? How well do teammates work together to solve a problem? What happens when there's a disagreement? Here's a list of a few team building ideas we used last year as well as some new ones I'll be using this year... 1. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. If you haven't figured it out yet, the judges are paying special attention to the process. Extrapolate to all other things needing done and having the kids figure out how to do it. The point is that these team building sessions can be used for the benefit of others as well. 15. 16. 17. Materials (per team): 1) 1 paper lunch bag (yes, you can also use the bag in your build) 2) 1 golf ball 3) 4 pieces of 4" string 4) 4 drinking straws 5) pair of wooden chopsticks 6) 4 small paper clips 7) 4 rubber bands 8) 5 Post-It notes (3" x 3") 9) 3 pipe cleaners 10) 1 pencil 11) 1 foot piece of masking tape

The $30M Bet That Shapeways Becomes a Factory for Everyone | Wired Business Industrial 3-D printers cranking away at the Shapeways factory in New York’s Long Island City. Photo: Shapeways Venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz plays the investing game different from much of its VC cohort. Rather than scattering its money around a relatively large number of startups, the Silicon Valley firm places big bets on a handful of companies and industries. Today, Andreessen Horowitz is placing a very big bet, $30 million, on Shapeways and 3-D printing. Shapeways is doing for manufacturing, what the internet did for self-publishing, making it accessible to everyone, says Chris Dixon, the Andreessen Horowitz general partner who led the firm’s investment in the New York City-based company. For a fee, Shapeways offers anyone access to very expensive industrial-grade 3-D printers that can crank out objects ranging from jewelry to figurines and other original inventions in stainless steel, ceramic and plastic among other materials.

LEGO® Mini Storage Boxes WeDo sensors – LEGO Engineering Both versions of the WeDo kit (2.0 and 1.0) come with two sensors. These sensors give students the opportunity to experience how robots sense the world around them. Motion sensor The WeDo 2.0 motion sensor (part 45304) can detect objects up to about 15 cm away, depending on the shape of the object and its reflective properties. When an object moves, it changes its distance relative to another object (such as the sensor). Consequently, the sensor can detect motion as well as measure distance. The previous motion sensor (part 9583) might still be found in schools using the older WeDo 1.0 kit. Technical details: The motion sensor is an active infrared (IR) sensor. Tilt sensor The WeDo 2.0 tilt sensor (part 45305) can detect seven positions (or orientations): tilt this way, tilt that way, tilt up, tilt down, no tilt, any tilt, and shake. The original WeDo tilt sensor (part 9584) detects changes in position listed above except for shake. Connecting the sensors WeDo sensors and Scratch

Make Your 3D Designs Come To Life | Cheap 3D Printing From Presspin Platonic solids The Platonic solids (here by OptimalControl) are defined as polyhedra (three dimensional solids) comprised of regular polygonal faces, arranged such that the same number come together at every vertex. The tetrahedron, octahedron, and icosahedron, each comprised of equilateral triangles, the cube made up of squares, and the dodecahedron made of regular pentagons, are the only polyhedra that match this description. These were described by Plato in the Timaeus dialogue, hence the name. He associated the first four with the elements fire, air, water, and earth, respectively, and the dodecahedron with the heavens. From the Timaeus: The first will be the simplest and smallest construction, and its element is that triangle which has its hypotenuse twice the lesser side.
