Tohuru - LEGO SPIKE Prime owl robot

Tohuru, from Maori, means owl.

Tohuru is a SPIKE Prime robot, that holds onto an edge and looks at the nearest object! It uses two medium motors to grip an edge between two wheels. In addition it has a head made out of an ultrasonic sensor, attached to a large motor, which allows it to turn 360 degrees! And most importantly, it looks like an Owl!

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!

Lesson 4 - Owl robot

Introduction

content picture

In this lesson you are going to make Tohuru - LEGO SPIKE Prime owl robot. The robot imitates an owl. It grabs onto an edge and then looks for the closest object to it! It doesen't like to be disturbed so it looks at the closest object, until it is moved further. You should keep in mind that as an owl, it can see everywhere around it so nothing is safe from its stare!

Now it's time to build the robot! After that you can try it out with our program!
