THE WELL AND THE GOLDEN DISTAFF: The distaff and the reeling machine
Programming level 1
Puppeteering with figures on axles
P1
How to build
Puppeteering with figures on axles
- The well, the motolla and the figures are all built with moving parts.
- By moving these, the scene can be puppeteered.

- There are 2 Touch sensors on both the well and the reel.
- In both cases, pressing one button will start your program and pressing the other will stop it.
- The well moves slightly forwards or backwards when the buttons are pressed, moving the bucket up and down.
- The movement of the reel is continuous until it is stopped with the other Touch sensor.
- All other actors are similar to P1.

Push button variable speed structure
- The structure and programme of the well constructed in P2 will remain unchanged.
- 3 Touch sensors are placed on the reel.
- Each of the three sensors switches the reel on at a different speed and rotates it as long as it is held down (e.g. the motor speed changes between 30, 60 and 90)

Robot controlled by multiple sensors

How to build
Robot controlled by multiple sensors
- The 3 Touch sensors remain on the reel, but the speed they set is picked from a range using a random number generator (p.: between 20-40, 50-70 and 80-100 speeds).
- The rotation is stopped by an infrared sensor built into the reel when the old woman is placed in front of it.
- The well is unchanged in all respects.
