Viverte - Green City Robot (Spike Prime) - 2024 Junior

Join our course as we guide you step-by-step in building a fully functional robot for the Green City challenge. Starting with a robot design that uses only one Spike Prime core set, we’ll show you how to tackle the task effectively.

We’ll walk you through detailed explanations of the robot’s build and programs, while also exploring alternative designs, mechanisms, and coding approaches to complete different parts of the challenge.

All programming is done using Word Blocks in LEGO Education Spike 3.4.3 Software.

This course is perfect for teams of all levels—whether you’re new to the competition or experienced and looking to enhance your skills with the Spike Prime kit to solve models of real-world challenges.

What You’ll Learn in This Course:

1. Building a functional robot model
2. Proportional and differential line following techniques
3. Obtaining precise ultrasonic sensor readings
4. Correcting movement errors using sensors
5. Achieving smooth and accurate arm movements
6. Storing data in variables
7. Retrieving data from variables
8. Developing robot strategies and making decisions
9. Essential robot design concepts and tips to create your own unique model
10. + ongoing updates to the build and program

If you’ve ever built and programmed a Spike Prime robot for previous WRO challenges and are familiar with concepts like basic line following and creating MyBlocks, you’ll fit right in.
