Python program to move forward and return with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime

This program makes the robot move forwards and then backwards using LEGO Education SPIKE App Python.

from spike import PrimeHub, LightMatrix, Button, StatusLight, ForceSensor, MotionSensor, Speaker, ColorSensor, App, DistanceSensor, Motor, MotorPair
from spike.control import wait_for_seconds, wait_until, Timer
from math import *

hub = PrimeHub() 

motor_pair = MotorPair('A', 'B') # Set the motor ports in the motor_pair.
motor_pair.set_default_speed(50) # Set the default speed of the the motor_pair.
motor_pair.set_motor_rotation(17.6, 'cm') # Set the distance that the robot travel for one rotation of its wheels. The value 17.6 comes from
                                          # the diameter of the wheel (5.6cm) multiplied by "π" (3.14).

motor_pair.move(40,'cm', 0, 50) # Start moving for 40cm with NO Steering '0' with 50% speed.
motor_pair.move(40,'cm', 0, -50) # Start moving backward for 40cm with NO Steering '0' with 50% speed. -50 for speed means: rotate with 50% seed backward.

raise SystemExit # Close the program.

FLL 2021: Build a configurable attachment - 10 out of 10 on how to accomplish the Sorting Center mission

This is a 10 out of 10 video tutorial demonstrating the consistency and reliability of a configurable attachment. The attachment is designed to accomplish the FIRST LEGO League 2021-2022 Cargo Connect mission model called Sorting Center. The mission model has 3 cargo objects that could be placed in a different way. The attachment is configurable and before the run we configure it for the specific way in which the mission model is set up before the start of the round.

WRO 2021 Junior: Slaimi - a post season WRO competition solution robot

This is the robot that we use to demonstrate a solution for competition. This is a Post season solution. We never release any solutions during the season as this will have a negative impact on the competition. But after the competition we try to make a review and to see how we could have accomplish it. Our goal is to be better for next year.

This robot is quite powerful. The attachment mechanism on the front is one of a kind as it can do several things with a single motor: it can lift, it can unlock, it can grab. All of this thanks to the unique mechanism of gears

Level A: Python Foundations – Robotics with LEGO SPIKE Prime

This is the first level of the LEGO Robotics Curriculum with Python, designed for students in grades 4 and up.

In this robot adventure, students learn to control robots using real Python code, while teachers guide them through their first steps in text-based programming. Throughout the level, students build a variety of LEGO SPIKE Prime robot models and program them to move, turn, and complete tasks with increasing precision.

Step by step, students learn how to read, understand, and write their own Python programs. Through fun and creative challenges, they bring their robots to life and discover how code can control movement, solve problems, and interact with the world. Along the way, they explore concepts such as navigation, obstacle avoidance, and sensor-based behavior.

The curriculum is designed to help teachers introduce programming in an engaging and approachable way while giving students plenty of opportunities to experiment, test ideas, and develop confidence in their coding skills.

By the end of the level, students apply everything they have learned in an exciting robotics competition. Using their own programs and robot designs, they complete missions on a competition field with boxes, putting their coding, engineering, and problem-solving skills to the test.
