Project ideas
- 01A color-triggered movement routine
- 02A small obstacle-avoidance experiment
Getting started
- 01
Confirm the exact model
Match the hardware label and bundle to the linked documentation. Codey Rocky, USB cable, a compatible computer and mBlock.
- 02
Prove the documented connection
Follow the original guide and run its smallest supported example before asking an agent to extend it. Use Codey Rocky APIs, not generic desktop Python packages. Check current editor and upload compatibility; attach the supplied Codey controller to the Rocky chassis.
- 03
Build one useful behavior
Start with a color-triggered movement routine. Add logging, sensible timeouts and a manual off switch. Programs use the vendor-supported mBlock route and the robot firmware.
