Safety Check: Builder's Code

We're about to work with awesome (virtual) electronics! When you build these in the real world, remember the code:

  • Power Down: Always unplug your project before changing wires.
  • Static is the Enemy: Touch a metal object (like a table leg) before handling a computer chip to safely discharge static electricity from your body.
  • Ask a Pro: Your parents are your partners. Always ask them for help when working with new tools or components!

🤖 Choose Your Robot's Superpower!

Every robot needs a brain, but they come in two flavors!

  • 🦾 The Task Master: Super fast and perfect for doing ONE simple job, like blinking a light. (Think of a toaster.)
  • 🍓 The Mini-Computer: Super smart and can do many things at once, like using a camera and Wi-Fi. (Think of a tiny smartphone.)
