Comparing LEGO SPIKE Prime Programming: Which Is Best for Robotics Competitions? - 4 : Color Detection Accuracy When participating in a robotics contest using LEGO SPIKE Prime, choosing the right programming environment can impact performance. In this experiment, we tested how accurately different programming environments detect colors while the robot is in motion. ## Tested Programming Environments I compared the following four environments: * Word Blocks (SPIKE App 3) → Download here * Python (SPIKE App 3) → Download here * Python (Pybricks) → More info * C Language (spike-rt) → GitHub repository ## Robot Configuration For the test, I used a car-type robot with the following setup: * Left wheel motor: Port A * Right wheel motor: Port B * Side-facing color sensor: Port C * Downward-facing color sensor: Port D ## Test Method To compare the environments, I conducted the following test: * The side-facing color sensor detects various block colors while the robot moves. * The downward-facing color sensor detects black and stops the robot. * Each environment was tested five times, and the average results were compared. * Programs were optimized for each environment while keeping the movement speed nearly the same. Word Blocks (SPIKE App 3) Python (SPIKE App 3) # Set up all devices LineSensor = port.D ColorSensor = port.C colors = [] color_now = None # Color reading task async def color_task(): global color_now while True: color_now = color_sensor.color(ColorSensor) await runloop.sleep_ms(1) async def main(): global colors global color_now motor_pair.pair(motor_pair.PAIR_1, port.A, port.B) motor_pair.move(motor_pair.PAIR_1, 0, velocity=900) while color_sensor.reflection(LineSensor) > 50: if len(colors) == 0 or color_now != colors[-1]: colors.append(color_now) await runloop.sleep_ms(1) motor_pair.stop(motor_pair.PAIR_1, stop=motor.BRAKE) print(colors) runloop.run(color_task(), main()) Python (Pybricks) # Set up all devices. hub = PrimeHub() left_motor = Motor(Port.A, Direction.COUNTERCLOCKWISE) right_motor = Motor(Port.B, Direction.CLOCKWISE) line_sensor = ColorSensor(Port.D) color_sensor = ColorSensor(Port.C) # Variables for color detection color_now = None colors = [] # Color reading task async def color_task(): global color_now while True: color_now = await color_sensor.color(surface=True) await wait(1) async def run(): global colors global color_now # start moving left_motor.run(900) right_motor.run(900) while await line_sensor.reflection() > 50: if len(colors) == 0 or color_now != colors[-1]: colors.append(color_now) await wait(1) left_motor.brake() right_motor.brake() print(colors) async def main(): await multitask(color_task(), run()) run_task(main()) C Language (spike-rt) pup_motor_t *motorA; pup_motor_t *motorB; pup_device_t *ColorSensor; pup_device_t *LineSensor; char colors[30]; // Array to store detected colors char color_now; void Main(intptr_t exinf) { motorA = pup_motor_init(PBIO_PORT_ID_A, PUP_DIRECTION_COUNTERCLOCKWISE); motorB = pup_motor_init(PBIO_PORT_ID_B, PUP_DIRECTION_CLOCKWISE); LineSensor = pup_color_sensor_get_device(PBIO_PORT_ID_D); ColorSensor= pup_color_sensor_get_device(PBIO_PORT_ID_C); int8_t i = 0; // Wait for left button to be pressed hub_button_t pressed; while(!(pressed&HUB_BUTTON_LEFT)){ hub_button_is_pressed(&pressed); hub_light_on_color(PBIO_COLOR_GREEN); } sta_cyc(CYC_HDR); // Start color_task // Start moving pup_motor_set_speed(motorA,900); pup_motor_set_speed(motorB,900); // Add detected colors to the array while (pup_color_sensor_reflection(LineSensor) > 50 ) { if (i == 0 || color_now != colors[i-1]) { if (i < sizeof(colors) - 1) { colors[i] = color_now; i++; } } } // Stop moving pup_motor_stop(motorA); pup_motor_stop(motorB); stp_cyc(CYC_HDR); // Stop color_task // Output the colors detected int8_t j; for (j = 0; j < 30; j++) { syslog(LOG_NOTICE, "%d : %c", j, colors[j]); } } // Read color every 1ms void color_task(intptr_t exinf) { color_now = pup_color_sensor_color_name(ColorSensor, true); } * The robot and block placement during the test: * Expected color detection sequence: None → Red → None → Green → None → Green → Red → None → Yellow → Blue → None → Green → None → Red → None → Blue → None ## Results: Which Environment Was Most Accurate?

Pybricks & C (spike-rt): * More likely to misdetect yellow when changing from green. * More likely to misdetect white when changing from yellow. ## Want to Try C Programming on LEGO SPIKE Prime?
