In this program we demonstrate how to use the built-in motion sensor of the SPIKE brick to program the robot to move forward. We implemented a type of duck walking forward movement. To get a more smooth movement, you can try lowering the turn angles from 95.
This program was intended for and tested on the Gazon robot
In this program we demonstrate how to use the built-in motion sensor of the SPIKE brick to program the robot to turn 90 degrees. Due to the chance of overshooting the targeted angle, the robot is programmed to stop turning if it reaches or goes above 90 degrees. Since the robot, this program was made for, is a little tilted, the angle it is programmed to turn to is changed a little to compensate for the tilt.

In this video tutorial we start with the basic of the basic, eg. how to move. We use the block from LEGO Education SPIKE Prime Word Blocks software. It is based on Scratch. The goal of the tutorial is to demonstrate how we can move and to teach something very important - the robot moves inaccurately
This video tutorial demonstrates the accuracy and consistency of the robot behavior when we use only the blocks for moving the robot without any sensor. Spoiler alert - the robot is not consistent and it is not accurate.
In this tutorial we demonstrate how accurate the robot is when we are moving it slow vs when moving it fast. The point of the tutorial is to show that moving slowly is generally much more accurate. It is not accurate enough for a FIRST LEGO League competition, but if you have to move without the use of the sensors you can at least move slow.
This videos tutorials demonstrated the robot accuracy in 10 runs one after the other. 5 of them are with the robot moving slow and 5 are with the robot moving fast. See for your self what is the accuracy achieved only with the move blocks of the robot.
In this video tutorial we look at Acceleration and Deceleration with a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot. The goal of the tutorial is to demonstrate the accuracy of the robot when we us default acceleration and slow acceleration.
In this program we demonstrate how to program a SPIKE robot to execute a faster and more accurate turn. You can press the right button to see how the robot executes a 90-degree turn with the aid of acceleration, to improve accuracy. After that, you can press the left button to see the robot turn fast with to acceleration, overshoot the target angle, and then return slowly back to it. That way, the robot reaches the target angle faster and more accurately. This method is useful for larger turns when time is limited. For smaller turns, it may cause the opposite effect. Since the robot, this program was made for, is a little tilted, the angle it is programmed to turn to is changed a little to compensate for the tilt.
