To build the robot, follow the instructions in the materials section.
How to follow the 3D instructions
At each step, you will see a list of the required parts in the top left corner. This includes the length of the parts and how many you need.
In the center of the screen, you will see how to connect the parts.
Sometimes, no parts will be shown in the top left corner. In this case, you just need to rotate the robot to a new position.
The first and last steps usually show the fully assembled robot.
Make sure your parts are oriented the same way as shown on the screen!
How to control the 3D view
Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move to the next or previous step.
Use the left mouse button to rotate the model and view it from different angles.
Use the right mouse button to move the model left or right.
Use the scroll wheel to zoom in and zoom out.
Below the instructions, you will find the "Autorotate" button, which turns automatic rotation on or off. Try both options to see what works best for you. By default, it is turned on.
Courses and lessons with this Tutorial
This Tutorial is used in the following courses and lessons
Level A1 - Space Adventure - Robotics with LEGO SPIKE Prime
This is the first level of the LEGO Robotics Curriculum for second-, third-, and fourth-grade students.
A "space adventure" but with robots. Different robot structures are built in Level A1. The motors are controlled so that the robots perform precise movements around the "Earth", "Moon" and "Sun". We use the force sensor to overcome various obstacles we bump into. We learn interesting facts about the solar system and space vehicles.

Level A: Python Foundations – Robotics with LEGO SPIKE Prime
This is the first level of the LEGO Robotics Curriculum with Python, designed for students in grades 4 and up.
In this robot adventure, students learn to control robots using real Python code, while teachers guide them through their first steps in text-based programming. Throughout the level, students build a variety of LEGO SPIKE Prime robot models and program them to move, turn, and complete tasks with increasing precision.
Step by step, students learn how to read, understand, and write their own Python programs. Through fun and creative challenges, they bring their robots to life and discover how code can control movement, solve problems, and interact with the world. Along the way, they explore concepts such as navigation, obstacle avoidance, and sensor-based behavior.
The curriculum is designed to help teachers introduce programming in an engaging and approachable way while giving students plenty of opportunities to experiment, test ideas, and develop confidence in their coding skills.
By the end of the level, students apply everything they have learned in an exciting robotics competition. Using their own programs and robot designs, they complete missions on a competition field with boxes, putting their coding, engineering, and problem-solving skills to the test.

Lesson 1 - Beverage Assistant
Introduction
Many students start learning robotics because robots can do amazing things. They can move, react, and even help people with everyday tasks. From small robots working together to larger robots that assist humans, robotics helps turn creative ideas into real, working machines.
You will learn how to design, build, and program your own robots using LEGO SPIKE Prime and Python. To create more advanced robots later, we begin with simple ones. Simple doesn’t mean boring - many real robots today started as basic designs and still do very important work.
Step by step, you will learn how to read and write Python programs and use them to control your robot. You will complete fun challenges, like making a robot that can deliver an item - just like a robot server that brings food and returns to its starting point.
These are your first steps into the world of robotics and programming. With each lesson, you will build more advanced robots and discover how code can make machines move, think, and solve problems in exciting ways.
