(Tutorial made in 0.152, it will be while until the base information becomes outdated but just be sure it's not the year 2054 or something as you look for tutorials.)
See UPDATES AND CHANGES section for up to date info on changed features in the tutorial.

It's finally here, a tutorial video covering the basics of Machinecraft and how to build your first bot, we're covering all the tools (not parts) used, with explanations of how it's all working.

This tutorial does not cover *EVERYTHING* and misses quite a bit out, it's only to help people not knowing where to start get into the game, things like joint cycles, many parts and online are not covered.
Remember to check out the samples and see how they do things.
If a sample bot is acting on it's own ingame press F7 to disable it's lua autopilot.

********************************
UPDATES AND CHANGES:
- - -
In update 200 group mode is locked into expert mode, which is then disabled until you beat the challenge mode, which is pretty bullshit.
99% of the details in the tutorial are still correct however without expert mode it's about useless.
- - -
In update 154 the joints have had their names changed to better represent what they do.
P and B joints have been merged into hinges , with a tiny control diffrence to placing them.

To change the orientation of a hinge press your modifier key when selecting it from the panel menu.
