Courses and lessons with this Material

This Material is used in the following courses and lessons

Line Following

This is the Line Following course, where you’ll explore essential techniques to help your LEGO robot follow a line with accuracy and stability! We will begin by covering the fundamental concepts of line following, starting with basic wobble line following, which teaches how robots detect and respond to lines. Then, we'll progress to more advanced methods like proportional line following, allowing smoother tracking by adjusting speed based on error values. Finally, you'll dive into the widely-used PID line following technique, where you'll learn how to tune parameters for optimal robot performance. Whether you're a beginner or looking to enhance your robotics skills, this course will guide you through building, coding, and refining your robot's line-following capabilities.

Wobble Line Following

This is the most basic line-following method, commonly known as the "ducky" line-following method.

Level B2 - Introduction to Robotics Competitions - Robotics with LEGO SPIKE Prime

This is the fourth level of the LEGO Robotics Curriculum for students in second, third, or fourth grades.

Competitive Introduction Level: Each lesson has a theme related to various LEGO robotics competitions. Students learn about FIRST LEGO League, Line Following, and Sumo Wrestling. A new color sensor is introduced, and students use forever loops, wait until commands, and if/else statements in new ways.
