Python programmed Robot Snake with LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor

This robot snake advances like a real snake, by twisting and curling. The wheels are not powered but only serve to slide the snake along. Because of this movement, the snake is great at avoiding obstacles. In this video, I show you how to program the snake with Python. Compared to Word Blocks, this gives a much smoother animation and performance. Also, using python, you can connect the Robot Snake to the MINDSTORMS RC BLE app. The snake head connects to the app and the two following segments using Bluetooth.

This is cool! I guess reason for not using all 6 ports is length of cable.

The beep sounds are coming from the motors of the LEGO Robot Python snake. That means that the motors are activated. 3:03

Hello i love your videos so much but when i see your videos i also want to play mindstorms but i am in india and its very expensive in india so my parents will not buy it but when i see your videos i feel i also have mindstorms thanks for making us feel like we also have

Hi Anton, what is the type of power source you use for your snake

[berniethejet]

Brilliant! Would it be more efficient if the wheels could only turn one direction?

[Edward-mdej]

Is there a possibility to controll Hub using Dualshock 4 with MicroPython, without blocks?

[roddlez]

Hi, Anton, can you please discuss a bit (or make a video) how you detect that multiple hubs are connected and then synchronize movement between them? Thank you.

[marcosalfonzoify]

Hi Anton, how do you use the MINDSTORMS RC BLE app with Spike Prime? Thank you!

[petercarlsson]

Hi, Anton. I don't get any code hinting in the mindstorms app when using Python. Do you have any suggestions why not?
Lego support doesn't seem to know.
