Technical requirements

One of the creative constraints when designing the builds in this book is to only use the parts, sensors, and elements contained in the kit. There will not be any additional parts needed to complete any of these builds. You will need LEGO Mindstorms Robot Inventor Kit 51515.

For software, you will need to download the LEGO Mindstorms Inventor software on either your computer, phone, or tablet. Please check the site to ensure your hardware is compatible with the software. You can find all hardware compatibility information on the LEGO site at https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/device-guide/mindstorms-robot-inventor.

You can access the code for this chapter here: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Smart-Robotics-with-LEGO-MINDSTORMS-Robot-Inventor/blob/main/Chapter%202%20Rock%20Paper%20Scissors%20Code.lms.
