LEGO SPIKE Prime Small Ball Contraption - Learn how to count: Part 1 Scratch coding

Free building instructions: You probably know the GBC’s or Great Ball Contraptions where beautiful samples of technical engineering are used to transfer balls from one machine to another? With this design of a Small Ball Contraption I want to give you a Small start to design your own GBC’s with the LEGO Spike Prime set and the white ball that is included in this set. It is also a great opportunity to demonstrate one of the basic principles of programming, namely how to make a robot or computer count. In this first part I will demonstrate how to program and test such a counter in the SPIKE Prime Scratch programming language. In part 2 I will show you how to program a similar counter in the SPIKE Prime Python programming language. Note: the LEGO SPIKE Prime 45678 set is the educational version of the new LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor 51515 set.
