Scratch (Word Blocks) program to precisely turn with acceleration and Motion Sensor from LEGO Education SPIKE Prime

In the SPIKE software, the acceleration block works only with predetermined rotations of the wheels. That limits us from using acceleration with the motion sensor, so in this program, we present an "MY BLOCK" that can simulate the acceleration block, but with the use of the motion sensor.

This program was intended for and tested on the Gazon robot

How to open?

Programs with extension *.llsp could be opened with version 2 of the LEGO Scratch Word Blocks software. It is also known as 'SPIKE Legacy'. You can download it from LEGO website. You can also visit spikelegacy.legoeducation.com to use it online Note that this programs are incompatible with version 3 of the software.

Courses and lessons with this Program

This Program is used in the following courses and lessons

LEGO Education SPIKE Prime Programming for competition with Word Blocks

Two concepts are important for robotics competitions - consistently navigate and position the robot exactly where we need it to be on the field, and builing attachments that would accomplish a mission once we have reached it. This course is focused on the first part. The second part is the whole FLLCasts platform, but start at FIRST LEGO League with LEGO Education SPIKE Prime. "Challenge" competition for 9-16 years old

The goal of this course is the help you learn to program LEGO Education SPIKE Prime robots to behave consistently and reliably during competitions. As a language we use LEGO Education SPIKE App Word Blocks which is based on Scratch. We look at a lot of concepts that could be used for FIRST LEGO League and World Robot Olympiad competitions - eg how to follow a line fast, slow, in a smooth way, with 5 states. Also how to align to lines, how to do double alignment, how to keep a straight line with motion sensor.

Motion Sensor - precise turn with acceleration

In this video tutorial we explore acceleration and deceleration and how to make the robot turn precisely by using acceleration and deceleration. The goal is for us to demonstrate a program that turns the robot to 90 degree. In the first 45 the robot is accelerating and in the second 45 it is decelerating.
