LEGO® Education SPIKE„¢ Essential - Set of 10, 10-Port Charger & Storage

Designed for RoboCup Junior Soccer, this IR Seeker Sensor is a 360-degree multi-platform sensor that enables robots to detect infrared signals from all directions. With compatibility for both Standard and Lightweight divisions, it's a key addition for competitive robotics teams looking to enhance their goalkeeping and striking capabilities. The sensor includes firmware options for SPIKE Prime, EV3, and Arduino, allowing teams to tailor performance to their robot's function. Its clock-like output system (e.g., '12' = forward) provides directional awareness, simplifying programming for autonomous response to the ball's location.

Whether configuring a defensive bot or coordinating a dual-striker team, this sensor is designed for peak performance and adaptability. To support high-demand classroom or club environments, this bundle also includes 1 x 120W 10-Port USB Charger for simultaneous device charging, along with 1 x Double Tote Tray Trolley Frames to organise kits and components efficiently.

Educational Benefits:

• Teaches concepts in autonomous robotics and sensor integration.
• Enhances competitive robotics capabilities for tournaments like RoboCup Junior.
• Fosters coding adaptability across multiple platforms.
• Promotes team-based strategy development in real-world robotics scenarios.
• Supports equipment management and charging logistics for group robotics work.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use in robotics club training to simulate soccer game scenarios.
