Swing Game - LEGO SPIKE Prime robot

The Swing Game is a SPIKE Prime robot designed as a two-player game. The goal is for both LEGO figures to reach the center of the swing without tipping it over to either side. Each LEGO figure is mounted on a motor connected to a Technic gear rack, allowing it to move along the swing. The motors are controlled separately—one by a color sensor and the other by a Large Motor. If one player moves too far ahead without the other keeping up, the swing will tip... and it’s game over! Good luck, and have fun!

Lesson 2 - Swing Game

Introduction

content picture

In this lesson, you’re going to build the Swing Game - LEGO SPIKE Prime robot. It’s a fun robot game designed for two players. Each side of the swing has a moving LEGO figure that travels from the end of the swing toward the center. The goal is for both players to get their figures as close to the center as possible—before the swing tips to one side!

This game requires a lot of cooperation, as each player controls a different LEGO figure with separate controllers.

We’ve provided a working program to get you started, but feel free to experiment and make it your own. Now, let’s build!
