Motorka - LEGO SPIKE Prime motorbike robot

Motorka, from Czech, means motorbike. Motorka is a motorbike with 3 tyres. Two at the back and one that steers the bike! The two at the back are powered by two medium motors and the one at the front - by one large motor. The robot uses various parts from the base set to look like a motorbike, for instance, at the front it has a color sensor that is used for the light of the motorbike!

Program for Motorka - LEGO SPIKE Prime motorbike robot

This program is a solution to the lack of a differential on the robot, which makes its turns slower and bigger! The program reads the realtive angle of the front motor, used for steering, and feeds it to the back motors so as to make one go faster and one slower! This makes the robot turn much faster and smoother. The program requires for someone to turn the steering motor, so experiment with different turning angles and push the limits of the robot! Make sure the markings on the moving and non-moving parts of the front motor align, because that is an essential part of the program!

Program that makes Motorka move in an 8 shape

This program makes Motorka - LEGO SPIKE Prime motorbike robot move in the form of an 8 (or infinity sign:))! It uses the other program for the robot as a base, but instead of letting the steering free, this program controls it so that the robot moves in a shape!

Famulus - LEGO SPIKE Prime robot

Famulus means waiter in Latin.

One pumpkin spice latte coming right up! This robot is made to serve the best drinks in the whole continent! It is one of the simpler robots that can be made with the LEGO SPIKE Prime set and it uses two medium motors to move around. The coolest part about the robot is the cup holder where a "cup" can be attached or removed. Bottoms up!

What we see in our SPIKE project

Seeing a Python code for the first time can seem a bit scary, especially if you have only programmed with blocks before. This tutorial explains the initial code in the LEGO SPIKE project briefly, as well as what it does.
