FLL Masterclass Part 2: 10 Tips to Make Your LEGO Spike Prime Robot Drive Straight

[@AidenTurk]

I'm glad you decided to make a part 2. Let's keep the series going!

Thanks so much for your support! Garry

Hi, Thank you for the video! May I ask how do you make acceleration and deceleration in the code for the Spike prime robot?

[@CreatorAcademyAustralia]

Hi! You can use the proportional distance code in my Part 3 video. Garry

Thank you very much for your videos! They are very helpful! We have a question! Why does the robot doesn´t always do the same thing? What the robot can´t always do a same FLL mission? What happens to us is that we program the robot to do a mission, it does it, and suddenly when we try it again it doens´t execute the same? Thank you!

Hi! There are many factors that can make the robot inconsistent. Ensure the robot is sturdy and not wobbly. Make sure the robot starts each run in precisely the same configuration using a movement jig. LEGO motor encoders can be inaccurate, so use sensors to assist with movement positioning. Ensure battery power is consistent, less charge can cause motors to be weaker. Hope this helps! Garry

@@CreatorAcademyAustralia Thank you very much for your answer! We would like to know what is "movemente jig". We didn´t understand that part. Once again, thank you!

[@CreatorAcademyAustralia]

Hi! a movement jig is like a sturdy frame that is placed on the launch area so that you can position your robot in the same place before running the code. Hope that helps! Garry

What do you use to clean the wheels?

[@CreatorAcademyAustralia]

Hi! We just use wet tissue paper. Garry

[@jackallen3994]

We use alcohol wipes. Write a simple program to make both wheels run at a slow speed until stopped and hold the wipes against the wheel. The first couple of rotations will get most of the dirt off and then use a different part of the wipe until they look almost new. You do not have to apply a lot of pressure.
