You can use any size marker you want! We preferred the fat markers since we didn’t need to tighten the rubber bands quite as much but you can play around with all sorts of variables and colors here!

#LEGO SPIKE CODE#
If you have enough time I definitely recommend giving the kids the freedom to try and change not only their code but alter their designs anyway they see fit. Block Code in Scratch for Art Drawing Machine:Īdditional challenges would be such things as changing variables for the speed, the degrees the motor changes, etc. You’ve made it to the last step! The last bit of gears to add on! Below you will see an example of the block coding we used in Scratch.
You’ll want to point out the motor size they will want and WHICH side of the motor they will be using! Placement must be proper in order to allow the art drawing machine to work! Our kids get a little tripped up on this step.
Loop the rubber bands two to three times to ensure a snug fit. Phew – you’ve made it to the last and easiest step of the drawing motor platform! Creating the Drawing Arm:ĭesigning the drawing arm is one of the most important steps of the process! Make sure to double this step and build the blue “H” twice! The rubber bands will allow flexibility in the paper holding arm here. Make sure to grab the correct sizes of pieces in this step! If you have a difficult time figuring out where to place these pieces, or any other steps as shown below, scroll to the bottom of this post and check out our completed project designs in our close-up photos! It leaves plenty of room to charge your LEGO Spike hub in between uses. This step above completes the process of building the base and spinning platform. TIP – Make sure you grab the right sized motor for this project! It requires the smaller “half-sized” motor, not the larger motor in the LEGO Spike Prime robotics set.
These are the pieces above that you’ll need to start with when designing your art machine’s base and spinning platform. You can easily just scroll down past the code blocks to build from the machine images. I’ve also included the block coding that you will want to start with in the Scratch platform as well! Lastly, the bottom half of these images are all brightly lit close ups of the robotic machine itself just in case you’ve made a mistake or gotten stuck in the building process! Other Basic LEGO Spike robotic building piecesīear with our instructions! There are a LOT of photos but I’ve broken them down into individual step by step visual arrangements so that you can see the exact pieces you’ll need, and exactly where to place them.(You can purchase them on Amazon but they are much cheaper purchasing them directly through LEGO here.) You’ll be able to figure out the exact pieces needed from our detailed photos below, but right off the bat you’ll need: LEGO Spike Robotics Art Drawing Machine Tutorial:įor this project you will need a LEGO Spike Prime robotics kits.
