Spike Prime Robots

Spike Prime Robots

1. All Possible Sensors

   • Colour Sensor
     • emits light from a transmitter, and then detects the light reflected back from the detection object with a receiver
       • Colour and Reflection
   • Ultrasonic Sensor
     • uses sound waves to detect the presence and proximity of objects
       • Centimetres, inches and percentage
   • Touch Sensor
     • When there is contact with the surface of the touch sensor, the circuit is closed inside the sensor and there is a flow of current.
       • Newtons and Percentage

2. Different Ports

   • A
   • B
   • C
   • D
   • E
     • When programmers allocate motors and sensors to ports
       • Left Motor
       • Right Motor
       • Colour sensor
       • Touch sensor
       • Ultrasonic sensor
   • F
   • Motors
   • All possible sensors

3. Motors

   • 2 Motors
     • Left Motor
       • Wheels connected to motors, moving the Spike Prime Robot
     • Right motor
     • Motors A+B
       • Wheels connected to motors, moving the Spike Prime Robot

5. Software Available

   • Spike Prime App

6. Code Samples

7. Limitations of the Robot

   • Robot not customisable
     • Cannot change motor and port placements
       • Hardware must stay consistent through students and the project
   • Limited coding
     • Less vast options compared to coding languages like Python or Java
