Program for Big Wheelster - LEGO SPIKE Prime robot

This program makes Big Wheelster - LEGO SPIKE Prime robot move forward until it bumps into something! This robot has one big wheel controlled by two medium motors, what's interesting is that the motors need to move opposite directions to make the wheel turn! That is why we have made a My Block to controll the robot. It has the option to move for a set rotations or indefinitely(if you put it to 0 rotations). It also has a logic option for the direction that the robot should move, so 1 = forward and 0 = backward.

The program makes the robot turn backwards after it bumps into something, using its back wheels to make sure it doesen't bump there again!

Stay @ Home SPIKE Prime Course

An introduction to the SPIKE Prime set! In this course you will have access to 7 3D instructions for SPIKE Prime robots, exploring the possibilities of the base set. After you build them, you can give them life using our cool programs that do various things, from just moving the robot forward, to finding the closest object to it.

After that, if you are up to the challenge, we have prepared some hard additional tasks. They aim to make you research solutions for modifications to the program and the robot. Of course, you can always make your own additions to the robots and have fun with it!
