Most robots, especially educational are buid with 2 driving wheels and one castor wheel. Cars are different. They have four wheels, two at the back and two at the front. And the car is turning with the two wheels at the front. This makes the construction much more challenging and interesting.
This is an alternative mission model for FIRST LEGO League 2022-2023 SUPERPOWERED Hybrid Car mission model. It is alternative as you only need LEGO Education SPIKE Prime parts to build it and you don't need the real parts from the real competition
This robot looks a bit weird. Can you guess why? The motors are placed in opposite directions. One of the motors is facing "forward" while the other one is facing "backwards". This means that if you tell both motors to rotate forward the robot will just rotate! To make the robot move forward, you will need to make one of the motors rotate forward and the other one - backwards.
The goal of this robot is to teach students that motors could be placed in many different ways. It is not always the case that the two motors face the same direction and this needs to be accounted for during programming.
Zat is fun. Zat is great. It is a simple construction for a car with 4 large wheels. And who does not like cars with large wheels. Built from LEGO SPIKE Core set 45678 + LEGO SPIKE Expansion Set 45680 we had a lot of fun with it on Sunday. It was an idea of my wife and the kids took a lot of time putting things on in and moving it around. Just put things on it and play with it.
