Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based block programming tool for LEGO SPIKE Prime hubs running Pybricks firmware.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-09 issue.

For: LEGO SPIKE Prime classrooms and robot competition teams
Worth noticing: Its setup guide names device limits, USB firmware installation, Bluetooth connection, and the hub’s physical stop control.

Field notes

MatPilot says it runs without an account in Chrome or Edge, then connects to a SPIKE Prime hub over Bluetooth after Pybricks firmware is installed once by USB. The page documents platform limits, including no iOS or Firefox hub connection, and says the tested firmware version is Pybricks 4.1.3. Blocks generate editable Python; programs can be saved to files or a team's GitHub repository.
