This is the mat that's needed for level B2 from the SPIKE Prime curriculum. It features a sumo field with a curved outer line for line following. It also has 3 red and 3 green lines for tasks that need the robot to stop at first and third line.
The size is set in the pdf so you can print it as is.

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.
In this lesson, we will program the robot to stop at a line. This technique is used in multiple competitions, such as Line Following, FLL, and Sumo.
Can you think of other scenarios where a robot might need to detect lines? What are the benefits in those situations?
A robot can, for example, detect street markings to avoid getting lost on the road. In FLL, detecting lines is particularly important so the robot knows exactly where it is on the field. Every robot has a small margin of error; each time we move a motor, it might move a bit more or less than intended. You have probably seen this in action, but in these lessons, we create small programs where this error isn't a big problem. However, in FLL, programs are often very long, and this error accumulates until the robot doesn't move correctly at all. That's why we use alignments, usually to walls or lines. When the robot aligns, it corrects most of this error and can continue accurately on its path.

In this lesson we will program our robot to stop at the third line. Why is this challenging?
You'll understand when you start programming. But why do we need this? Although it is sometimes used in different competitions, the real value lies in the concepts this task teaches. It seems simple, yet most students need help when programming it. This task helps you understand how robots work on a deeper level.

Remember to provide feedback to students regularly. It's important to give structured feedback in the form of a grade. Today, you'll need to grade your students following this article.
