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.
