In this first lesson, we create one, look around, and open the three drawers of the Dock.https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-53-mover-la-camara/Sun, 06 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-53-mover-la-camara/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.https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-54-dibujar-el-chasis/Sun, 06 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-54-dibujar-el-chasis/The chassis isn't chosen from a list: you draw it, square by square, on a six-by-six grid. The panel tells you how many cells you've used and how much the board will weigh before you build it, and you pick its color from eight options.https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-55-tu-primera-pieza-y-su-pin/Sun, 06 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-55-tu-primera-pieza-y-su-pin/The lesson that brings together the two halves of the course. Each mecano piece is given a name and a pin, just like you declare it in a program, and that number is the contract: the program speaks through it and the piece listens through it.https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-56-colocar-una-pieza-en-su-sitio/Sun, 06 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-56-colocar-una-pieza-en-su-sitio/A piece is born where the mecano leaves it, almost never where you want it. Moving in three dimensions isn't dragging toward where you look: first you pick the axis—x and z go along the floor, y is the height—and then you drag with two fingers.https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-57-cambiar-hacia-donde-mira-una-pieza/Sun, 06 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-57-cambiar-hacia-donde-mira-una-pieza/Placing a piece is two things: where it is and which way it's facing. Turning changes its posture without moving it from its spot, and that decides whether a servo pushes inward or outward and whether a sensor sees what it needs to see.https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-58-hacer-una-pieza-mas-grande-o-mas-chica/Sun, 06 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-58-hacer-una-pieza-mas-grande-o-mas-chica/The third tool, and the only one that doesn't drag onto the scene: a slider that goes from half to double the real size. It's mainly so what you want to build fits.https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-59-unir-dos-piezas-para-que-viajen-juntas/Sun, 06 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-59-unir-dos-piezas-para-que-viajen-juntas/Two pieces resting on each other are not joined: if you move one, the other stays put. Welding them turns them into a single body that moves and rotates together, and you can undo it whenever you want.https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-60-piezas-ancladas-al-arrancar-la-fisica/Sun, 06 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-60-piezas-ancladas-al-arrancar-la-fisica/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.https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-61-quitar-lo-que-ya-no-quieres/Sun, 06 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-61-quitar-lo-que-ya-no-quieres/Building is also taking apart, and here there are two ways: a piece is removed from its slot in the components drawer, and a support touching it in the scene. There's no confirmation or general undo.https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-62-darle-vida-al-robot/Sun, 06 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-62-darle-vida-al-robot/The green button turns your model into a device with weight and gravity. Physics doesn't decorate: it judges what you built. And testing is free, because the red button puts everything back exactly the way it was.https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-63-el-mando-de-las-piezas-que-obedecen/Sun, 06 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-63-el-mando-de-las-piezas-que-obedecen/With the physics running, touching a piece gives you its controller: a remote to try it out by hand before writing a single line of code. The values go from zero to one hundred, just like in the blocks.https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-64-las-piezas-que-te-cuentan-cosas/Sun, 06 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-64-las-piezas-que-te-cuentan-cosas/Inputs don't obey: they inform. The ones a person would move—the knob, the button—have control so you can act as the person; the ones that measure the world, like the ultrasonic sensor, only show you their reading.https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-65-que-la-camara-persiga-al-robot/Sun, 06 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-65-que-la-camara-persiga-al-robot/As soon as your robot starts moving, it goes off the screen. The tracking makes the camera follow it, and it turns on in the least obvious spot: the piece's block, with the physics running.https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-66-pintar-el-camino-en-el-suelo/Sun, 06 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-66-pintar-el-camino-en-el-suelo/The track is a black line painted on the floor with your finger, so a robot with a sensor can follow it later. And it comes with the only undo feature in the builder.https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-67-el-sensor-que-lee-el-suelo/Sun, 06 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-67-el-sensor-que-lee-el-suelo/The line sensor looks at the floor beneath it and answers yes or no. And here's the lesson that applies to all sensors: on top of the line but standing up, it can't see it, because it's not looking at it; you have to lay it down.https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-68-conectar-tu-mecano-a-un-programa/Sun, 06 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://nairda.com.mx/en/academia/mecano/clase-68-conectar-tu-mecano-a-un-programa/The lesson that closes the area: the mecano connects like any device and your program controls it through the pins. A block talks to pin thirteen and the LED you placed on thirteen lights up.
