HOW TO BUILD THE BASE BUILD
Open the Spike Prime app (see image right) on the computer desktop. It is NOT on this webpage, it is on the computer background screen (desktop).
Choose Spike Prime (on the right), not Spike Essential.
Click on "Unit Plans" (down and to the left)
Find the Unit Plan called "Competition Ready" and download it.
Click "Start" on the first item : Training Camp 1: Driving Around
On the screen, to the right, you will see a panel that has tutorial slides. Each slide has a blue arrow pointing to the right that will take you to the next slide. Skip to Slide 02/06
Click on "BUILD".
This is your base build. It is VERY simple. You do not need to use this base build for your team later, but your team WILL need to decide on a base build so that ALL the team's robots have the exact same base build. For now, though, you WILL use this base build.
Again, you will use this build for NOW. You will use it so that you can work through the tutorials and either refresh your Spike Prime skills of learn them if you are new to Spike Prime.
It is very important the a partner who has experience with Spike Prime have an inexperienced partner do the program while the mentor SUPERVISES.
Remember to leave you brick plugged in AT the computer workstation with bag sealed around your robot. We are going to have MANY more robots in use in this room this year, so we will need to keep them organized and we will need to take care to respect others' materials.
