Introduction

A caterpillar robot that can move forward/back, turn and grab small objects

Raspberry PI Zero W, Python, 6 motors, 3D printed parts

The purpose of the project is to figure out how many motors are needed for perfect movement of caterpillar.

I took Raspberry PI Zero W, implemented a simple web interface using python, printed the parts on my 3D printer.
As you can see:

6 motors is enough for all perfect movements: 4 - forward and back + 2 for turns.

I also added 1 more for objects collection.
