When physics starts, there's gravity and the pieces fall. Fixed pins a piece in place to represent what's held from the outside: the base of an arm, a wall, a ramp.

🎯 The challenge of this lesson

Raise an LED in the air, set it to fixed, and start: it stays floating like a streetlight. Then set the board to fixed and the LED to free, and see what happens.
