Content for Steering

This program makes the Big Wheelster – LEGO SPIKE Prime robot move forward until it bumps into something! This robot features one big wheel powered by two Medium Motors. What’s interesting is that the motors must spin in opposite directions to make the wheel rotate. That’s why we’ve created a My Block to control the robot.

The My Block allows you to set how far the robot should move—either a specific number of rotations or indefinitely (by setting it to 0 rotations). It also includes a logic option for direction: use 1 for forward and 0 for backward.

When the robot detects a bump using the front touch sensor, the program makes it reverse using the back wheels, helping it avoid hitting the same obstacle again!

This program solves the problem caused by the lack of a differential on the robot, which makes its turns slower and wider.

The program reads the relative angle of the front motor, which is used for steering, and adjusts the speeds of the back motors—making one rotate faster and the other slower. This allows the robot to turn much more quickly and smoothly.

The program requires someone to manually turn the steering motor, so feel free to experiment with different turning angles and push the limits of the robot!

Make sure the markings on the moving and non-moving parts of the front motor are aligned, as this is an essential part of how the program functions.

This program makes Motorka – the LEGO SPIKE Prime motorbike robot – move in the shape of an 8 (or the infinity symbol 🙂)!

It builds on the previous program used for the robot, but instead of allowing the steering to move freely, this version controls the steering to guide the robot in a precise pattern.
