Larvy - LEGO SPIKE Prime larva robot

Larvy is a SPIKE Prime robot that moves like a larva or caterpillar. It uses a Large Motor to contract and expand its body, mimicking the crawling motion.

Using two Medium Motors, it rotates four wheels - tilting them sideways or upright as needed - so it can move forward!

A program for the robot can be found here: Program for Larvy - LEGO SPIKE Prime robot

Lesson 1 - Larva Robot

Introduction

content picture

In this lesson, you’ll build Larvy - the SPIKE larva robot! It’s named that way because it moves just like a larva or caterpillar. The program behind it is quite simple, with a core made up of just three movement blocks in a loop. We’ve added a few tweaks, though, to make it run more smoothly and consistently. You can read more about how it works in the program description.

But first - let’s build the robot!
