    If robots can build things faster and without
                                                       mistakes, should they replace human workers?
                                                                    Justify your answer.

                     BASIC BLOCKS IN CODEBLOCKS

                     In Tinkercad  Codeblocks, you  use  blocks  to  give  instructions  to  the  computer.  Each  block
                     tells Tinkercad what to do,  just like commands in a game. These blocks are colourful and fit
                     together like puzzle pieces. They help you  create 3D shapes and move them around without
                     typing any code.

                     The different categories of Codeblocks are listed below.

                     Shapes

                     The Shapes blocks are used to create and control 3D shapes. These blocks let you build any object
                     by coding instead of dragging shapes manually.

                     Some of the important shape blocks are as follows:

                                    Blocks                                          Description

                                                            This block makes a box or cube shape. You can set its
                            Add
                                                            length, width and height of all shapes.

                                                            This makes a cylinder (like a pipe or tube). You can set the
                            Add
                                                            radius and height.

                                                            This block makes a ball-shaped (round) object. You can
                            Add
                                                            set the diameter (size of the sphere).

                                                            This block  makes  a  cone  shape  (pointed  top).  You  can
                            Add
                                                            change its top radius, bottom radius and height.

                     There are many more shapes in Codeblocks that you can add, like Round Roof, Wedge, Pyramid
                     and others.

                     Modify

                     The Modify blocks are used to change or adjust the shapes you have already created. While
                     Shapes blocks make objects, Modify blocks help you resize, move, rotate or style them. These
                     blocks give you more control over your 3D designs.
