"Sithenge iiseti zeklasi kabini kwiminyaka emine. Ngoku eyesithathu?"

Ukuba inkqubo yakho yeerobhothi yakhelwe kwiLEGO SPIKE Prime, u-2026 ube ngunyaka onzima. ILEGO yayipelisa iMindstorms ngo-2022 yaza yakhuthaza izikolo ukuba zitshintshele kwiSPIKE. Ezininzi zenza njalo, ngamaxabiso eeseti zeklasi. NgoJanuwari 2026 iLEGO yabhengeza ukurhoxiswa kwalo lonke uluhlu lweSPIKE, ukuthengiswa kuphele ngomhla wama-30 kuJuni 2026, kulandele ikhithi ethi "Computer Science & AI" eqala kwi-$339.95. Izikolo ezilandele indlela esemthethweni yokutshintsha ngoku zijongene nokuthenga kwesithathu kwiminyaka emine.

Le mvakalelo ayintsha. Xa iMindstorms yayibulawa, umncedisi we-IT wesikolo saseJamani wayibeka yonke le ngxaki kwisivakalisi esinye:

"Esikufunayo kukuqiniseka ekucwangciseni."

— UJürgen Adloff, isikolo esibanzi iMaria Montessori, nge-heise.de, Julayi 2024

Iindleko azizizo nje ezezixhobo. Sisicwangciso ngasinye sesifundo, iyure nganye yoqeqesho lwetitshala nesikhokelo ngasinye sokwakha esibotshelelwe kweli qonga:

"Abaqeqeshi nabacebisi abakhe iikharityhulam ngeSPIKE Prime kuya kufuneka baphinde baqeqeshwe kumaqonga amatsha[,] baphinde babhale izifundo namacebo okuyila iirobhothi"

Amaqela okhuphiswano afumene eyawo inguqulelo yolu suku lunye lokothuka. NgoDisemba 2025, iFIRST yabhengeza ukuba ukususela kwixesha lika-2027-28 inkqubo entsha yolawulo iSystemCore iya kuvumela i-actuator enye kuphela esemthethweni, i-A301 eyakhiwe yiREV (amaqela ahlala kwiControl Hub yakudala agcina iimoto akhoyo ubuncinane kude kube lixesha lika-2030-31). Umsonto wesibhengezo weChief Delphi wafikelela kwiiposti ezingama-189, ukujongwa okungama-8,474 nokuthandwa okuli-1,537, kwaza kwalandela isicelo se-change.org. Iposti enye yesicelo somfundi ku-r/FTC yashwankathela izikhalazo:

"ukulawula kodwa iREV okuqhubekayo, ukusilela ekuthembekeni, ukufikeleleka okunqongopheleyo ingakumbi kumaqela anebhajethi ephantsi nakumaqela angaphandle, kunye nokuphelelwa lixesha kwee-actuator zangoku esithe uninzi lwethu lwahlawula imali eninzi ngazo"

— iposti yesicelo somfundi, r/FTC, Disemba 2025

Ngaphandle kwemfundo, i-IoT yabathengi ichithe u-2025 ifundisa wonke umntu esi sifundo sinye. IAeroGarden yabhengeza ukuba iyavala ngomhla woku-1 kuJanuwari 2025, ithembisa inkxaso ye-app kuphela "ukuya kutsho ngoMatshi 2026". IBelkin yabhengeza ukuba ilifu ne-app yeWemo ziya kupheliswa ngomhla wama-31 kuJanuwari 2026. Umgqabazi kwiHacker News wafikelela kwisigqibo esicacileyo:

"Yiyo loo nto nasiphi na isixhobo esizenzekelayo esingena ekhayeni lam kufuneka sikwazi ukusebenza ngaphandle kwe-intanethi okanye i-app."

— igqabaza kwiHacker News ngeBelkin ibulala iWemo, Julayi 2025

Kutheni le nto iqhubeka isenzeka

Izixhobo zemfundo lishishini elisecaleni kwiibhrendi zabathengi

Iinkampani zezinto zokudlala nezombane zabathengi zisebenza ngokwemijikelo yeemveliso zorhwebo. Uluhlu lweemveliso luyathenwa ngenxa yezizathu ezingenanto yakwenza nesicwangciso sakho seteknoloji seminyaka emihlanu. Izikolo zenza ibhajethi ngemijikelo yeminyaka emininzi, zilindele ukuba iseti yeklasi ikhonze amaqela aliqela abafundi. Ezi ziwotshi zimbini azizange zihambelane, kwaye xa zingqubana, kulahlekelwa isikolo. IMindstorms ngo-2022 neSPIKE ngo-2026 libali elinye elenzeke kabini.

Iindawo ezivaliweyo zenza ukupheliswa kwemveliso kube yilahleko epheleleyo

Ukuba iikhonektha zezomvelisi omnye, iisensa zezomvelisi omnye, kwaye ulwimi lokuprograma lulwimi lweebhloko olulodwa lomvelisi ngaphakathi kwi-app yakhe, ke yonke into ibotshelelwe kwisicwangciso senkampani enye. Xa iqonga lifa, kufa nekharityhulam, uqeqesho lwetitshala nomjelo weendawo zokutshintsha. Yithelekise loo nto nenkqubo efundiswa ngePython eqhelekileyo: ibhodi ingatshintshwa, kodwa okufundiweyo akulahleki.

Ukuxhomekeka kwilifu nakwi-app kongeza esinye isixhobo sokucima

Nokuba izixhobo ziyasinda, umhla wokuphela kwenkxaso ye-app unokuzishiya zingasasebenzi. I-app yeEV3 yeLEGO ifikelela ekupheleni kwenkxaso ngomhla wama-31 kuJulayi 2026, ishiya iirobhothi ezisasebenzayo ezandulela iSPIKE. IAeroGarden neWemo zibonisa inguqulelo enzima ngakumbi: izixhobo ezifuna ilifu ukuze zisebenze zimane nje zime. Naliphi na isixhobo esifuna i-akhawunti, ukudweliswa kwivenkile yee-app okanye iseva ukwenza umsebenzi waso osisiseko sinobude bobomi obumiselwe licandelo lezimali lomnye umntu.

Imithetho yokhuphiswano inokukutshixela ngobusuku obunye

Amaqela awayilawuli incwadi yemithetho. Isigqibo seFIRST se-actuator enye sibonisa ukuba nabathengi abalumkileyo bangaphelelwa lixesha yimpahla abanayo ngenxa yomgaqo-nkqubo, kungekhona ngenxa yefiziksi. Abagqabazi kumsonto wesibhengezo weChief Delphi bakhankanya ukungqubana kokuba umthetho othi ukhuthaza inkululeko yokuyila ususe zonke ezinye iindlela.

Okusebenzayo ngokwenene: uluhlu lokujonga xa uthenga olungabethwa lutshintsho

Awunakumenza umthengisi angabi nakufa. Kodwa unako ukwenza ukuba inkqubo yakho isinde ekufeni kwanawuphi na umthengisi omnye. Phambi kwe-oda elilandelayo lokuthenga, vavanya iqonga ngalinye elifunwayo ngokwale mithetho mithandathu:

1. Ulwimi oluqhelekileyo okanye nto konke konke. Iqonga kufuneka liprogramwe ngeMicroPython, iPython okanye olunye ulwimi oluqhelekileyo, kungekhona kuphela ngolwimi lweebhloko lomvelisi omnye. Iibhloko zilungile kubaqalayo, kodwa kufuneka kubekho indlela ebhaliweyo eya kwikhowudi yokwenene, kuba ikhowudi yokwenene iyahamba iye kwibhodi elandelayo, iye kwibanga leshumi, iye nakumsebenzi.
2. Yenza uvavanyo lokucima irawuta. Cima i-intanethi yakho uze uzame isifundo esipheleleyo: ukufaka ikhowudi, ukufunda iisensa, ukuqhuba iimoto. Ukuba iqonga lifuna i-akhawunti, iseva yokungena okanye ukuvumelanisa nelifu ukwenza umsebenzi walo osisiseko, liyatshona. Ukucinywa kombane kwenza olu vavanyo lubaluleke kabini kwizikolo zoMzantsi Afrika, kodwa ukuvalwa kweAeroGarden neWemo kulwenza lubaluleke naphi na.
3. Iikhonektha eziqhelekileyo neendawo zokutshintsha ezithengiswa nganye nganye. Ungayithenga na isensa enye yokutshintsha, okanye kufuneka uthenge enye ikhithi epheleleyo? Iiplagi zomvelisi omnye zirhafu kulo lonke ulungiso lwexesha elizayo. Khetha iiphoti ezithi plug-and-play ezamkela iisensa ezifumaneka lula.
4. Ukuqhubeka ngesimuleyitha. Ukuba izixhobo zilahlekile, zaphukile, zibiwe okanye zipheliswe ukuveliswa, ingaba abafundi bangaqhubeka befunda kwibhrawuza? Isimuleyitha esisebenzisa ulwimi olufanayo nolwebhodi luthetha ukuba ikharityhulam yakho ayisoze ibanjwe kukulibaziseka kothumelo okanye kukurhoxiswa kwemveliso.
5. Sebenzisa uvavanyo lokunyamalala komthengisi. Buza umboneleli ngqo: ukuba inkampani yakho ibinganyamalala ngomso, yintoni ebisaya kusebenza? Iimpendulo ezinyanisekileyo zezo zikhankanya imigangatho evulekileyo. Ziyabakho iiprojekthi zoluntu zokuhlangula, iPybricks ngokwenene izibiza ngokuthi "Saving LEGO MINDSTORMS", kodwa ukuhlangulwa ongakudingiyo kungcono kunokuhlangulwa okufikayo.
6. Yahlula-hlula inkcitho. Zama iseti encinane ikota enye phambi kokuba uzibophelele kwiseti yeklasi. Yenza ibhajethi yeendawo zokutshintsha ngexesha lokuthenga, kungekhona ngexesha lokulungisa, ngoxa iindawo zisathengiswa.

Indlela esiye sayisombulula ngayo le nto nge-sheenbot∞

Siyile sheenbot∞ sigxile kanye kwezi ndlela zokusilela, kuba sibone izikolo zidlula kuzo. Ibhodi isebenzisa iMicroPython eqhelekileyo, ngoko ikhowudi nezakhono ziphila ixesha elide kunayo nayiphi na imveliso enye. Isebenza ngokupheleleyo ngaphandle kwe-intanethi, ingafuni akhawunti, ingafuni bhaliso kwaye ingaxhomekekanga kwilifu; akukho nto kule bhodi eyekayo ukusebenza xa iiseva zethu zingafikeleleki. Iiphoti zithi plug-and-play kwaye iisensa ziindawo eziqhelekileyo ezithengiswa nganye nganye kwivenkile yethu, ngoko isensa eyaphukileyo lithengo elincinane, kungekhona ikhithi entsha. Uhlaziyo lwefemuwe luthunyelwa nge-BLE. Ukuqhubeka kwekharityhulam kuxhaswa yi-sheen verse, isimuleyitha se-3D sasimahla esisebenza kwibhrawuza, esisebenzisa iMicroPython yokwenene ngaphandle kwazo naziphi na izixhobo. Ukuze sithethe inyaniso ngolu luhlu lokujonga: siyinkampani encinane kuneLEGO, yiyo kanye loo nto sikhonkxe iqonga kwimigangatho evulekileyo endaweni yokucela ukuba sithenjwe. Ukuba ucwangcisa kwakhona ilebhu iphela kunokuba ucwangcisa ikhithi enye, inkonzo yethu yokufumana nokuseta ilebhu ikhona ukuze senze olu vavanyo lokuthenga kunye nawe, kubandakanya noluhlu lwabathengisi.
