Robolab - os sets (Parte IV) - O 9795
To conclude with the presentation of the RoboLab sets, and in particular with those who did not have the RCX (as I will now introduce those who did have the RCX) and which contained pieces for carrying out pre-programmed educational activities, today I present the set 9795, the RoboLab Intelligent House Building Set. This set is presented in a smaller re or black box, such as 9723 and 9725..
This set is presented in a black box and of a reduced height, like 9723 and 9725. Previously, this same set was launched, with the same number of pieces but to be controlled by Interface B (9751), in 1996, with the reference 9707.
This set had two editions, the first in 2001 and others later (reprinting with logo changes, now Robolab, now Dacta learning Concepts, now Lego Educational Division), in which the name is replaced from RoboLab to LEGO®MindStorms for Schools, however maintaining the indication of the year 2001. Moreover, this transformation of the boxes took place throughout the initial range of RoboLab sets, which always have an edition with the title RoboLab and another with the title LEGO®MindStorms for Schools. This change obviously extends to the teacher's books.
This set makes it possible to build a house and a small car. So it was accompanied by an instruction book (The first image is from the 52-page book in the 9707 set, the second image is from the second edition of 9795).

Robolab - os sets (Parte III) - O 9725
Continuing with the presentation of the RoboLab sets, and especially those that did not have the RCX, and that contained pieces for carrying out pre-programmed educational activities, today I present the 9725 set, the RoboLab The Amusement Park Set. This set is presented in a smaller black box, like 9723 and 9795.
This set had two editions, one in 1998 and another in 2002, in which the name is replaced from LEGO Dacta to LEGO®MindStorms for Schools. Moreover, this transformation of the boxes took place throughout the initial range of RoboLab sets, which always have a first edition under the title Dacta or RoboLab and another under the title LEGO®MindStorms for Schools. This change obviously extends to the teacher's books.This is the only set of the entire range with the designation of LEGO Dacta. There is information that was tested by LEGO enthusiasts before going public, in conjunction with tests of the RoboLab Beta versions. It was intended to verify the operability of both the set and Robolab. Dave Baum was one of them (he mentions in an email dated 1998/08/24).
This set makes it possible to carry out four constructions. In this way it was accompanied by four instruction books, namely: Bumper Car, Tour Bus, Merry-Go-Round and Ghost Ride (images are from the second edition).
To streamline activities, teachers had a dossier with motivation sheets and activity sheets, including the sheets to give to students. This 112-page manual, divided into 6 units, has 10 robotics initiation activities, 8 programming initiation activities, 7 programming consolidation activities, 8 programming development, 6 project and 9 project development activities. A very attractive book for any teacher. It was sold separately under the code 2009725.
