6- Sample Projects

• A range of sample projects is provided to help users get started with the robotics sets.
• Each project is explained in detail, with step-by-step building instructions to support the build from start to finish.
• The project code is also explained section by section, showing what each part does, supported by short videos.

7- RoboMission Skills and Competition Guide

• Our newest RoboMission course covers advanced topics designed to help teams improve their performance and achieve better results.
• The course explains the key concepts of the category and includes guidance on building driving bases using different robotics sets.
• Control concepts, including P-controllers, are taught step by step in two programming languages, with pseudocode to help learners adapt the logic to other programming environments.
• A practical competition checklist is provided at the end, along with debugging guides, to support teams during preparation and testing.
