As you might have seen, recently all the cool kids build tensegrity structures. So we decided to make one for those of you who have a Spike prime set and want to build one themselves! In addition this tensegrity structure requires only parts from the set, which means you don't need to tie any strings on beams or other parts!
At the top of the structure we have two fully functional motors! Can you make something cool with them?
You remember Mighty Coffee? Well, my wife is looking at me building Mighty Coffee and is like "Why can't we have a beer?"...yes, the world around me. At the end of the day we had a Mighty Coffee and MBEER and we realized that both of these are not appropriate for 6-10 years old, but nevertheless the children had a lot of fun with them. They were pouring coffee in the beer mug, then put the whole Mighty Coffee into the beer mug they played probably for about an hour. Built from LEGO SPIKE Core set 45678 + LEGO SPIKE Expansion Set 45680 this beer mug is just clean and beautiful. Only with blue frames. As an engineer I tried to construct it the first time with the children and then ask them to construct it without following instructions. Try it. It is like a puzzle. Build it the first time with the 3D Assembly Instruction and the second time without any instruction.
Play time for a week: ~1-2 hours in total.
This Scratch (Word Blocks) program is for controlling Gazon, LEGO Education SPIKE Prime competition robot to accomplish FIRST LEGO League (FLL) 2020 RePLAY Challenge mission 05 - Backetball. Check out the lessons where this program is use for specific demonstrations and explanations on how the program works.
In this program, we demonstrate how to program a SPIKE robot to follow a line with the aid of one color sensor and detect and stop at the second intersection with the aid of another color sensor. Make sure the line is big enough for the sensor to detect it and react to it. For some thinner lines, the speed of the robot can be lowered, but if that does not help, the program can be easily adapted to work with reflected light intensity.
This program was intended for and tested on the Gazon robot
In Dutch, "muur" means "wall."
This robot is designed to have a wall in front of it to clear obstacles.
The instructions below provide an example of a wall that students can use in front of their robot if they are having difficulty creating one.
This video tutorial showcases how the MiniBox accomplishes five missions - M02, M03, M04, M05, M14, and M15 - of the FIRST LEGO League 2023-2024 MASTERPIECE Challenge competition.
It’s a rather complex run, as the robot uses multiple attachments and performs several actions. The MiniBox, a LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robot, is designed to leave its attachments on the mat after completing each mission. Take a close look at the attachments and study the program thoroughly before launching the robot!
This attachment for the Nautiq robot is designed to align the robot accurately during the FIRST LEGO League 2024‑2025 SUBMERGED competition. It improves positioning consistency, helping ensure precise and repeatable mission runs.
