You would need a field/track for this class! The goal of the field is for motorcycles to go around it. You can build it from several LEGO boxes, or you could use tape anа draw a circular form on the floor. In its basic form it could look similar to something like the one shown below, but you can change it and make it as difficult or interesting as you want.

Motorcycles racing field for LEGO Mindstorms Robots

The programs for today's class has mainly green motor blocks configured for specific distance. Here are a few key things:

  • The goal of the class is for students to have fun;
  • The motorcycle falls to its side when it makes sharp turns;
  • Be careful with the building time for the cake holder. It could take too much time and the class is not very long. If some of the students experience difficulties building the holder, there is a construction in the section with additional tasks. You can use this construction. 
  • Be careful with the tasks for adding gear wheels: if you think there is no chance for students to succeed, stop them about 20 minutes before the time for disassembling. In this way they could return the motorcycle to its original form and participate in the track racing.
