From airports and shipping docks to Amazon warehouses, forklifts help humans lift heavy loads and move them safely.
In this project, you’ll design a robot forklift using LEGO Spike Prime to lift, carry, and deliver loads just like real-world engineers!
You will also play a game where you create code to solve a model of a real world problem. You’ll score points based on your robots performance.
This project has enough content and activities for up to 3 lessons.
