Most robots, especially educational are buid with 2 driving wheels and one castor wheel. Cars are different. They have four wheels, two at the back and two at the front. And the car is turning with the two wheels at the front. This makes the construction much more challenging and interesting.

Zat - a minimalist car frame from LEGO Education SPIKE Prime in 3D building instructions
Zat is fun. Zat is great. It is a simple construction for a car with 4 large wheels. And who does not like cars with large wheels. Built from LEGO SPIKE Core set 45678 + LEGO SPIKE Expansion Set 45680 we had a lot of fun with it on Sunday. It was an idea of my wife and the kids took a lot of time putting things on in and moving it around. Just put things on it and play with it.

How is the Telephone Game influenced by the light in your room?
The telephone game played with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robots relies on the Color Sensors and the detection of colors. Sometimes the robots won't work. They could be influenced by a number of factors like the position of the sensor and the lighting in the room. This tutorial is a demonstration on how to account for and resolve this issue.

Reversity - LEGO SPIKE Prime robot with two motors facing reverse directions
This robot looks a bit weird. Can you guess why? The motors are placed in opposite directions. One of the motors is facing "forward" while the other one is facing "backward." This means that if you tell both motors to rotate forward, the robot will just spin! To make the robot move forward, you will need to make one motor rotate forward and the other backward.
The goal of this robot is to teach students that motors can be placed in various ways. It is not always the case that both motors face the same direction, and this needs to be accounted for during programming.

How to play the Telephone Game with LEGO Mindstorms EV3 robots?
The Telephone game is played with 2 or more robots and is extremely funny. Each robot has a color wheel that can be rotated through the medium motor and a color sensor. The first robot on the left rotates the color wheel to a random color. The second robot must detect the color on the wheel and rotate its color wheel to this color. The third detects the color wheel of the second and so on.
It is described in details in Lesson 4 of Level C2. Cooperation
