In this training session, you’ll learn how to program your amazing SPIKE Prime Robot Vehicle (RV) to TURN.

Turning your robot with accuracy is a key step for any robotics engineer. Look at the direction the wheels move. It is always a good idea to observe the movement in your robot – good luck!

On the next slide (click on the arrow) there is an image of an example program that will bring your robot to life and get it TURNING. Write this program on the SPIKE Prime App and run it. Did your RV respond as you expected?
If you ever get stuck, just click on the example program to watch a short training video from a LEGO Education Certified trainer.

Put your robot on a flat surface. Can you estimate the number of rotations required to program your RV to turn; 90°, 180°, 270° and 360°? Take turns to set each other turning challenges – working as a team! Can you do the turns in both anti-clockwise and clockwise directions?
