Scratch (Word Blocks) program to arrive at a specific position on the FLL field with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime

Two fundamental concepts are essential for robotics competitions: ensuring the robot consistently navigates and positions itself accurately on the field and designing attachments that complete missions once the robot reaches its target. This course focuses on the first aspect - precise navigation and positioning - while the second is covered across the entire FLLCasts platform, starting with the FIRST LEGO League with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime. "Challenge" competition for 9-16 years old

The goal of this course is to help you learn how to program LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robots to operate consistently and reliably in competition settings. We use LEGO Education SPIKE App Word Blocks, a Scratch-based programming language, to teach key techniques applicable to FIRST LEGO League and World Robot Olympiad competitions. Topics covered include different methods for line following, such as fast, slow, smooth, and using multiple states, as well as techniques for line alignment, double alignment, and maintaining a straight path using the motion sensor.
