Chapter 10: Creating Plankton from SpongeBob SquarePants – Part 2

In the previous chapter, you built Plankton’s frame. The major components, frame, and sensor have all been installed. What comes next is adding additional elements to make the robot look more like Plankton and write code to bring it to life.

In this chapter, we will continue to develop the robot by doing the following:

  • Adding final details to give the appearance of Plankton
  • Programming the robot to be interactive

Technical requirements

To build the robot, all you will need is the Robot Inventor kit. For programming, you will require the LEGO MINDSTORMS app/software.

Access to the code can be found here: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Smart-Robotics-with-LEGO-MINDSTORMS-Robot-Inventor/blob/main/Chapter%209%20Plankton%20Code.lms ...
