ChargingA 10-port charger is essential if you want to save your sanity. I recommend putting a sticker or mark on one side of the charger cable so you always can tell easily which way to plug it in. Mine always plug in with the green sticker facing the ground. It's only a little trick, but I am glad I did it! A Dash battery will be fully charged in under an hour and can last up to 3 hours of use. But it depends on usage. I always try to limit usage to two hours. When the battery is down to 10%, your app will notify you and the robot's power button will begin to glow. |

Flags!!!I spent AGES working out the best way to attach a flag to each robot. This is really handy if you have lots and they are playing games like soccer and chasey. Kids always find it hard to keep track of which Dash is theirs, so a flag was the obvious answer to me.
They can attach to Dash's special blue lego attachment, or any lego robot such as Mindstorms, Technic or Boost! |
I was fortunate enough to buy two lots of 6 Dash, which came nicely packed in their own box's plastic insert. I re-used the insert in a large tub I found at Bunnings, after trimming it slightly with a pair of scissors. Now they travel safely all in one tub. When charging, I take them all out, and only return them to the tub when I know they are fully charged. If you don't have the inserts, I'd put six in a tub, cover them with a small blanket or bubble-wrap and put the rest on top. |

FREE Handy Scoring Google Sheets |
I made this video which helps children share a device fairly. I use it mainly during soccer games (Go and Wonder comntroller) but I have also used it when I use Path. |
I made these Google sheets for you to copy and share. They are a great way to keep track of student results such as who can get their robot to perform the task the quickest. There is also a sheet for a knock-out competition. Check them out here. |
