Lego Spike Prime

Lego Spike Prime Sessions

Lego Spike Prime is the latest in the Lego robotics range and it is sure to motivate and inspire creativity while developing valuable coding skills your students. Here are the three awesome new challenges that could take place in a Robot Man workshop. I have 10 Lego Spike Prime kits (and expansion packs) which is ideal for up to 30 students (10 groups of three participants).

Sumo Bots

Robot Man will show the students how to code and construct a Sumo Wrestling Battle bot! Students usually work in a group of 2 or 3 and can tweak their code and modify their construction to increase their chances of winning. Anyone can battle anyone who is ready! It has become one of my most popular sessions.

Wall-bouncing Drag-Racer

Participants are given a kit of Lego Spike prime to build a robot car that can race to a wall, turnaround and come back to the start line asap. They race head-to-head against other bots... with a grand finale of all robots against each other in one massive race.

Colour Sensor Challenge

After a short demonstration and explanation from Robot Man, the students will attempt to build and code a robot that will travel quickly from one point, around an L-shaped course, and back again. Their robot turns certain directions based on the coloured boards sensed by the robot and they also make use of a force sensor to turn their robot around after it bounces off one of the walls.

Plank Battles

Students build a robot that will travel along a plank, as far as possible, without falling off. But look out for the other robot attacking from the opposite end!! If you travel the furthest or hit the carpet second... you win!

Jousting Robots

Students build a robot that will travel straight, either by using a colour sensor or the hub's built-in gyro sensor. They add a Lego Knight and a jousting stick and code their robot to knock an opponent's knight off their robot!

Maze Runner!

Students get to place coloured lego around one of four wooden mazes, and then they build and code a small robot to react when it senses the different colours. Can your robot make it of the maze??
