By default, the motors of the LEGO SPIKE Prime controller connect to ports A and B. What if we want to connect them to other ports? Here's how to change ports in the software.
In this tutorial, we will learn what the start block does when starting the program and where to find it.
In this tutorial we will learn what the first purple movement block does.
In this tutorial we will do a deep dive on all the options of the first purple movement block.
What a teacher should know when giving tasks to students:
We will build a simple robot and learn how to follow building instructions step by step.
Children tend to imitate. The easiest way to do something is to first see how it’s done. So, sit down and show your students how to program.
We will cover the typical reasons why your robot is not moving at all.
This is what one of our simplest robots looks like:
EasyBot
Before we begin building, let’s take a look at some of the main parts of the robot.
Motors
Motors are like the "muscles" of the robot - they make it move.
LEGO SPIKE Brick
This part is called the "intelligent brick." You can think of it as the "brain" of the robot. It is a small computer where you upload your programs. It reads information from sensors and controls the motors based on your code.

In this video tutorial we dance with the robot. The goal of the mission is to reach the specific place on the FIRST LEGO League field and to Dance. It is suitable for students that are new and it gives every team a chance to accomplish at least on mission on the competition.
Helicopters can be used to transport cargo to areas that are difficult to reach. They are used to help others, bringing important packages like food.
Trains can transport cargo to many places. Keeping infrastructure like train tracks in good condition is important to ensure trains reach their destinations.
Transportation includes getting the correct cargo to the correct place. Sort your containers and deliver them to their destinations.
Having a package delivered to your doorstep is awesome! Packages can be transported safely, on time, and to your door.
This bridge can be raised and lowered to allow transport on both the river and the road. Lower the bridge decks to prepare for the trucks to pass.
Load cargo containers safely and efficiently
Connect cargo to all forms of transportation. Make as many connections as you can and transport your cargo by land, sea, or air to its destination!
The less often you interrupt the robot outside home, the more points you keep.
Truck platooning is the linking of two or more trucks in transport. This allows trucks to move efficiently, saving time, fuel, and money.
Unloading cargo is an important part of the journey. Planes are often just one of multiple forms of transportation used to deliver cargo containers to their destination.
Transporting cargo is a journey from beginning to end. Cargo often needs more than one form of transportation to complete the journey and reach a final destination.
Energy efficiency plays an important role in transportation. Switch your diesel engine for electric. You will save money while being environmentally friendly.
Accidents can cause many problems when transporting cargo. People could be hurt, cargo and machines could be damaged, or your cargo could be late.
