Description of LEGO Education WeDo 2.0 45300 Basic Set, 280 pieces
LEGO WeDo 2 is the robotic novelty of 2016, which became the second generation of the WeDo series. The constructor is a universal educational solution that can be used in lessons at school and at home. It still offers that motivating and practice-oriented approach of the WeDo family.
Like previous sets, LEGO WeDo 2.0 is designed for the youngest audience - elementary school students and older kindergarten students. However, fans of the series will have a lot to learn when working with the updated designer. The development of 2016 has a huge educational potential: it includes new parts, the SmartHub microprocessor, and improved sensors. Thanks to the wireless Bluetooth protocol, the designer has become autonomous and no longer needs a wired connection to the computer.
45300 WeDo 2.0 is a new version of the well-proven First Robot WeDo 9580. The new robot became autonomous, received its own microprocessor (SmartHub) and more powerful motors and sensors.
Pros
- Wireless, very well made. The child is joyful. there are few details, we will take a resource set.
Cons
- Very picky about your equipment. It connects only to the only bluetooth v4 BlueGiga BLED 112 model. If you don’t have one, then the set won’t connect to a computer, I won’t be able to install it on any laptop. I have two of them. Didn't work on the iPad either. But there bluetooth v3. Software turns on and slows down even on Core i7 with 16 Gigabytes of RAM.
Pros
- No wires when connecting the robot (compared to the first version of WeDo) Free software for work, available on the manufacturer's website The software works from a tablet or computer
Cons
- To work with Windows 7, a special Bluetooth adapter is required, it costs 1100 on Ali or 1800 from an authorized Lego dealer To work with a tablet, the minimum screen resolution is 1280 * 800 - be careful when choosing a tablet Also in the Android tablet software does not play video
Pros
- The kit comes with a visual sensor (you can write algorithms for the speed of movement and for a collision with an obstacle), there is also a gyroscope. The program has basic models for beginners. It does not require a full-fledged PC, a tablet is enough (there is a limitation on the screen size - it must be at least 9 or 10 inches).
Cons
- Price.
Pros
