Challenge 1 - 40mins

You need to move an item, from A - > B. 

 How can you do it?

Step 1 -

Using Mine carts and Rails we can build a track which will carry a package from A to B.  We need to power the track with Levers next to the Powered Rails.

Resources

  1. Minecart - This will travel on the rails

  2. Rails - Carts only travel on rails

  1. Powered Rails - Can push the cart along

  2. Lever - to turn rails on and off

See this example.

How can we make the cart travel further?

How can you turn Powered Rails on and off?

How far can you make the cart go?

How many powered rails do you need?

What obstacles do you need to overcome?

Task 2

Can you link your first build to the rail somehow?

Resources in lesson 1

Detector Rail - Acts like a switch, when a cart passes over it
