Before building, you have to learn to look. One finger rotates around, two fingers dragged together move things, and two fingers pinching zoom in; on the computer, they're the left button, the pressed wheel, and the spinning wheel. And the little house takes you back to the start when you get lost.

🎯 The challenge of this lesson

Put a servo on your mecano, turn it until you see it right from behind, and stay there; then lower your gaze until it grazes the floor and look at the piece from below, the way an ant would see it. Go back to the little house.
