Sometimes, we make a mistake in starting the robot, and we should stop it before its program runs out. Here's how to do it with a SPIKE Prime controller.

Common errors that may lead to the need to stop the robot are:
- Launching the robot in the wrong direction. Robots can move in any direction, so figure out which direction yours needs to move in and release it so it can do so without a problem. Usually, this direction is away from you.
- Wrong program launched or problem launching the program. Sometimes, we run the wrong program or a program with an error, and then the robot goes somewhere, and we don't know what's going on. Someone might also push it, and that's where the error comes from.
In all these cases, you should always pick up the robot before it breaks down or gets in the way of others. Then, to stop the program, we press the Middle button on the controller.

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.

Lesson 2 - Tidal waves
Introduction
Today, we will focus on an interesting effect caused by the Moon: tidal waves.
You may know that massive bodies have an attractive force - gravity. The Moon's gravity pulls the water in the oceans, which causes the sea level along the ocean coasts to temporarily rise or fall. The increased level is called high tide, and the decreased level is called low tide.
How much, do you think, can the difference between high and low tide be in the world?
The distance between high tide and low tide sea levels can reach up to 16 meters in the Bay of Fundy in Canada, and the lowest differences are in the Mediterranean, Baltic, and Black Seas, where they are only a few centimeters. We will use 50 cm as an average value as it is convenient for the task.
