Project info
Whale cardboard robot is one of my favorite designs. It has no particular function or speciality except waving tail and opening mouth but its design and form is the most charming and lovely of all the cardboard robots on this site 🙂
The project requires some manual skill to assemble so prctice with other designs before you aproach this one.
This cardboard robot require only one 180deg servo and the robot controller is placed outside of the model sa you can easily swap Micro:Bit to any other microcontroller such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi or anything else that can drive a micro servo.

How to read robot plans:
- BLACK LINES – cut this line first
- RED LINES – detailed shapes cut after the black lines
- BLUE DASHED LINES – bending lines traced with scissors
