Thymio + Apitor Robot E Automatic Scissor Lift 🤖 | Hands-On Robotics & Programming Lesson

Описание: Thymio Automatic Scissor Lift 🤖 | Hands-On Robotics & Programming Lesson

What happens when you combine the *Thymio Wireless II* robot with the **Apitor Robot E kit**? You get an awesome hands-on programming project that teaches real automation concepts kids can actually see and understand.

In this programming lesson, students build and control an automatic scissor lift through a series of fun, progressive missions that move from simple control to smart sensor-based logic.

🛠 *Mission 1*
Build the scissor lift and control it using the motor pack included in the Apitor Robot E kit.

🎮 *Mission 2*
Remove the motor pack and connect Thymio for new control options. Start with code-free purple mode and use the BBBots 5-Device Remote to move the lift up and down.

💻 *Mission 3*
Jump into block programming with VPL3. Use timers to automatically stop the lift at the top and bottom. It works well, but changing cargo weight creates a new challenge.

🔍 *Mission 4*
Solve the problem using sensors instead of timers. Attach straws or pipe cleaners to trigger Thymio’s front and back sensors and stop the lift precisely every time, regardless of weight.

This lesson is a great example of moving from screen-based coding to real-world problem solving with robotics, engineering, and creative thinking.
