Scratch (Word Blocks) program to accurately move forward

Scratch (Word Blocks) program to accurately move forward with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime

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

Courses and lessons with this Program

This Program is used in the following courses and lessons

LEGO Education SPIKE Prime Programming for competition with Word Blocks

Two concepts are important for robotics competitions - consistently navigate and position the robot exactly where we need it to be on the field, and builing attachments that would accomplish a mission once we have reached it. This course is focused on the first part. The second part is the whole FLLCasts platform, but start at FIRST LEGO League with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime. "Challenge" competition for 9-16 years old

The goal of this course is the help you learn to program LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robots to behave consistently and reliably during competitions. As a language we use LEGO Education SPIKE App Word Blocks which is based on Scratch. We look at a lot of concepts that could be used for FIRST LEGO League and World Robot Olympiad competitions - eg how to follow a line fast, slow, in a smooth way, with 5 states. Also how to align to lines, how to do double alignment, how to keep a straight line with motion sensor.

Motion sensor - move forward

This is the first video tutorial from the LEGO Education SPIKE Prime programming course in which we use a sensor and we've selected to use the motion sensor. The Motion sensor is allows us to detect how the robot is turning in a 3 dimensional space time continuum or to put it simply - we use it to move straight with the robot. That's it. We want to move straight - we use a sensor, and the Motion Sensor is a good choice.
