Mantis - Force Of Nature (Spike Prime) - 2024 Senior

The course begins with Mantis strategically navigating from one of two starting areas, efficiently tackling all predetermined tasks before deftly delivering four out of eight randomly positioned blue or green house elements.

In addition to this core program, updates will include a second phase starting from the alternate starting area, along with comprehensive video tutorials detailing both the construction and programming processes.

We’re continually exploring innovative methods to address various aspects of the task, ensuring Mantis remains adaptable and effective. Our programs are made in Word Blocks using LEGO Education Spike 3.4.3 Software.

This course caters to teams of all levels*, from novice to advanced, providing invaluable insights for those gearing up for competition or seeking to deepen their understanding of leveraging the Spike Prime kit to devise real-world solutions.
