Introduction
Welcome to our guide on programming the Spike Prime robot for the FIRST Lego League (FLL) competition! This website is designed to support K-12 teachers and students in mastering the skills needed to excel in FLL challenges. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine advanced techniques, you'll find valuable resources for training and onboarding students here.
Our training program covers a wide range of topics, from the basics of robot movement and event handling to more complex concepts like positional control and gyroscope-based navigation. Each section is dedicated to a specific topic, allowing you to easily navigate and find the information you need.
If you wish to go further in your exploration with students, or would like more lessons to choose from, Carnegie Mellon has developed a comprehensive Computational Thinking and Coding Curriculum using the LEGO Spike Prime.
Build
The lessons below are based on the TACObot build developed by Carnegie Mellon University. Other robots can be used, but we recommend this robot for its durability and incorporation of sensors.
