Back to: Fusion Robot Fun – Converting from blockly to Python.
This is a “first look” at Modern Robotics Inc.’s Fusion Robot, and while it has less detail than our usual “Absolute Beginners” courses, we aim to include sufficient detail to enable use either by a home-study parent/child combination, or within a classroom. For this audience, we emphasize detailed “how-to” videos, and minimize “talking-head” presentations. We introduce new concepts only when they are needed to continue using our Fusion Robot. What does this course cover?
- This introductory course does cover the conversion from Blockly to Python using the Fusion Robot Base Kit. We also check out some sensors that are available for use with Fusion, but which are not included in the Basic Fusion Base Kit; these tutorials are labeled “Extras”.
- This course does not cover either the complete use of Python, or the use of the many impressive libraries that are available for use with Python. It is also not an introduction to Blockly for the Fusion Robot (click here).
