Volume 2 of the App Inventor 2 Tutorial will be available at Amazon and Google Play/Google books within a few days. Just waiting for the new title to clear through their review process.

I have added a new “Subscribe by email” feature to provide another way to be alerted to new posts on this web site.
Look for “SUBSCRIBE TO POSTS BY EMAIL” in the right column of this page, then enter your name and email address and click on Subscribe.
Check your email for a confirmation message and click on the link in the email to confirm your subscription. If you do not receive a confirmation email within a few minutes, check your Spam mail folder – and then check to make sure you entered your email address correctly!
I have only tested this feature with my own email address but hopefully it will work well for anyone who wishes to receive post alerts via email!
Facebook is a simple way to be alerted to updates, but you may also wish to use Twitter, our RSS newsfeed, or the new email subscription – or all of them! My intent is to make it simple for you to receive new posts in what ever way works best for you.
TOO MANY TOTES! Android game written in App Inventor
It’s free – the TOO MANY TOTES! game for Android devices – download at the Google Play Store.
The app was created by student members of the Glencoe High School FIRST Robotics Team #4488 “Shockwave” and was developed using MIT App Inventor. The Android game is inspired by the 2015 FIRST Robotics Competition game called “Recycle Rush”. In the game, robots must stack a variety of container “totes” and a trash can on top and relocate the containers to a recycle zone on the playing field. Students design, build and test their robots – weighing up to about 120 pounds or 55 kilograms – these are large, complex pieces of mechanics, controlled by an advanced system controller, with control software also written by the student team.

I am one of many volunteer engineering mentors to the Shockwave Team. This year, I was mentor for the applications software team, that has developed a number of Android apps (the game is the only one publicly available), an Excel spreadsheet (written in VBA) to analyze data and develop optimal strategies, plus another app written in Python to process text comments about other robotics teams.
The team’s Android apps are written using MIT App Inventor.
