fischertechnik
Welcome to our "computing world." We at fischertechnik use the term
"computing" to mean the programing and control of models using the PC.
Computing
The ROBO Starter Set is the optimal entry into this subject. Using the
assembly instructions, you can build eight different models in a short time
and these models range from a handdryer to a bar barrier for entry into
parking garages on to a welding robot. Using an interface such as the
ROBO I/O-Extension, you can connect the models with the PC. (Note!
You can also use the ROBO interface, item No. 93293.) Then, you program
the models quickly and simply with the graphic programing software, ROBO Pro.
The following introduction is intended to help you to quickly find your way around in the computing
world. Initially, this shows you how you should start and what you must do step by step. In addition, here
you find programing tasks for all models in the building set. Of course, there are tips here for these tasks
as well. You are given an exact description as to how you can program the models with the ROBO Pro
software. As you will see, this is really great fun. So, let's go.
Before you get
started

Assembly

What do you really find in the building set?
First, you will find several fischertechnik building blocks, a motor, lights and sensors as well as colored
construction instructions for the building of
eight different models. Let's look at this first.
When you have unpacked all of the building blocks, you have to assemble some components first such
as cables and plugs before you can really get started. The exact ones are described in the construction
instructions in the paragraph "Assembly Help and Instructions." It is best to do this first.

Important Components

Motor
This motor drives the fischertechnik models. The motor is operated with a voltage
of 9 volts (direct current). The maximum output is about 1.1 watt with a
speed of 7000 revolutions per minute (RPM).
Gear unit
A gear unit is attached to the motor and this unit reduces the RPM.
The reduction is, including the motor worm gear and the toothed gear with the output shaft 64.8 : 1.
The building set contains two different lights:
Domed Light
This is a normal light bulb for a voltage of 9V and a power consumption of about 0.1 ampere (A).
