LEGO Technic Robotica

LEGO Technic Robotica History

LEGO Technic Programmable Systems was original a line of LEGO. LEGO Technic Programmable Systems an it was introduced in 1986. It is actually the precursor to LEGO Mindstorms. Later in 1988 it became LEGO Dacta both themes based on controlling LEGO models by computer. Later In 1991 it became LEGO Robotica as a part of LEGO Dacta.

In 1986 LEGO had developed some special components, LEGO 1455 and the LEGO 9750 Interface A also LEGO 1090 pressure sensor and and LEGO 1092 optosensor. in 1986 the first LEGO Motors are made also set 9760, Later in 1988 LEGO Technic  LEGO 1090A and and 1090B and 950060 where released by LEGO Dacta. 

Students better understand the important role and forms of application of computers in society. The LEGO Courseware Package 1455 contains the necessary material for a series of 10 lessons, starting with simple leading activities. Eventually, large projects based on students' own ideas can be started.

Pupils see direct results of programming in the form of a concrete working model.
Learners recognize that solving a given problem has three dimensions:
- The design dimension (i.e.: the actual structure of the model)
- The mechanical dimension (i.e. where are the motors and sensors fitted)
There are also interfaces with important mathematical and physics concepts.

The LEGO 9750 Interface A has two input connectors and six output connectors suitable for ordinary LEGO plugs; Each connector has indicator lights, which illuminate when the connector port is activated by the computer. There is a STOP button that can interrupt the process at any time. The dedicated computer cable and transformer come with the set.

In 1991 LEGO Robotica represents a logical link in the child's developmental stages: it helps them move to a higher level of abstraction.
LEGO Robotics fits perfectly into the drive to pay more attention to technology in secondary education by introducing a special subject dedicated to it. After all, the generation growing up now is entering a society increasingly dominated by technology.

Here you find all sorts of LEGO Technic Robotica sets in my private collection.
