NeXT Project

Guess what I have recreated with the NXT. Yes NXT shoes. Not exactly identical but a pretty good job. Stay tuned for this project. Coming soon.

How do you connect?

I am wondering what the best way to remotely control your NXT is? Also how do you control your NXT if you do. I was wondering about lowest price best functionality and easiest programming. So if you have experience with one NXT controller in specific or several than please post and tell me the pros and cons for price, functionality, programing and fun. Thanks to all who post.

Jumping Giant

I bought the 8651 Jumping Giant.
I mainly bought it for the wheels but there are a few
Technic beams, axles and pins. Surprisingly I got it for five
dollars less that the original price including S&H.

Links galore

I have added more links to my blog so welcome NXTMonger, Airkraft-NXT, 2muchcaffeine, bluetoothkiwi, NXTcentral, Team NXT, StephenVW and NXTprograms.

Angle connector

This is the way I have used the angle connector.

NXJeep

This is a work in progress my Jeep using NXT.
It has 4 wheel drive and articulated steering but it
isn't fast because there is a worm gear in the drive chain.
I am having a hard time replacing the worm gear to make it go faster. Because currently it is slow. any ideas would be kind.

The Bug video 2

This is a shorter video of The Bug.

The Bug Video

This is a pretty long video giving you a good idea
of how fast it goes and how the program works.

The Bug

Whats that sound? I don't now but its getting closer. Ahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! Its a Bug look out he's coming closer. Watch out! Run! Get the raid! Kill it! Wait look its just a robot phew I thought it was real that scared me well I'm glad it was just a robotic bug not a real one. Phew.
This bug is tough and he is coming for you. So you better watch out. I got a book out of the library but it was for the old RCX kit but I wanted to build it out of NXT. This robot balances on two wheels and uses two motors to move.It was hard to take him from RCX to NXT but it was worth it. Here is a link to my project on NXTLog with more pictures. Please comment and rate it from 1 to 10 (10 is the best) Thanks.
