Scratch (Word Blocks) program to move in straight line with the Motion sensor from LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor

This program makes the robot move in a straight line with the use of the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor Motion sensor. It's developed with LEGO Education SPIKE App Word Blocks and uses a very simple algorithm for moving straight. When the robot moves slightly to the left or right align it face forward. Try to push the robot slightly. See what happens.

This Program is used in the following courses and lessons

FIRST LEGO League with LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor. "Challenge" competition for 9-16 years old

The goal of this course is to take you through some of the most useful principles for building and using attachments to accomplish missions at FIRST LEGO League competitions. The whole course is based on a LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor and you need a single 51515 set and without additional parts (you will need a second color sensor for the lessons for using two color sensors, but feel free to skip them if you don't have it). For every mission there is a Scratch and Python program attachment. The course consists of 25 lessons suitable for beginner and advanced students. Every lessons consists of a video tutorial demonstrating the principle and how the mission could be accomplished along with building instructions for the robot, the attachment and programs for controlling the robot.

Move staight with the Gyro Sensor

In this video tutorial we try to move forward with a LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor robot and we try to keep a straight line using the Motion Sensor. Without entering into the details of the programming we demonstrate what is the behavior of the robot when trying to keep a straight line with the Motion Sensor while we are participating in a FIRST LEGO League competition.
