How LEGO robots turn
The robot is equipped with two motors, one for each side. As a result, whenever the robot turns, it always follows an arc path. The size and radius of this arc can vary depending on the turn.

SkiD00, the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 Snowmobile robot
An awesome ski-jet robot, steering with a medium motor and powered by a single large motor. It also has a pair of inclined treads, making it especially well-suited for the harsh winter terrain.
*There is a mistake in this robot you will have to find. How would you make it work?

Big Wheelster - LEGO SPIKE Prime robot
Big Wheelster, as his name suggests, is a robot with a big wheel! The Big Wheel is made out of the SPIKE Prime Baseplates. The robot also has an interesting steering mechanism! At the front we have added a touch sensor, to detect an obstacle and hopefully avoid it.

Program for Big Wheelster - LEGO SPIKE Prime robot
This program makes Big Wheelster - LEGO SPIKE Prime robot move forward until it bumps into something! This robot has one big wheel controlled by two medium motors, what's interesting is that the motors need to move opposite directions to make the wheel turn! That is why we have made a My Block to controll the robot. It has the option to move for a set rotations or indefinitely(if you put it to 0 rotations). It also has a logic option for the direction that the robot should move, so 1 = forward and 0 = backward.
The program makes the robot turn backwards after it bumps into something, using its back wheels to make sure it doesen't bump there again!
