– Work as a team to research, design and build a prototype of your robot.
– Document your research, designs and programming (show us your design thinking throughout the process)
– Submit images and video of your robot
– Present your documentation through a video (include slides, short videos of how it works, the design, how it might move, behave).
– Be creative. Showcase how it works and it’s special features.
This challenge is for LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime robots only.
1. Your autonomous creation needs to be your own design. You are encouraged to research and find examples of what others have already done, but your final product should be your own: not a copy of someone else’s idea.
2. You will create a Learning Journal to show evidence of:
a. The research you did
b. How you came up with the idea for your design (try brainstorms, flowcharts, drawings, etc)
c. Planning your design and program (justify why you made the decisions you made)
d. Images of your build along the way
e. Anything else you want to share about your design.
3. Your robot cannot be remote controlled, you should use hardware and write a program that enables it to be autonomous.
4. The robot should have features that can navigate or explore the ‘world’ that you are trying to create.
5. You are absolutely welcome to decorate your robot to make it look more like what you are trying to imitate. Just make sure that you don’t spend all your time on decorating and forget about the programming! We need to see a copy of your whole code not just parts of it. You can send it as a separate file.
6. You need to use a Spike Prime kit for the base model of your robot. You can use other Lego parts to build your robot however all sensors need to be from the Spike Prime kit or the Spike Expansion kit.
7. Don’t forget to have fun and be creative!!
This should include:
