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.

NXTracks

This is my first tank and I think I did a pretty good job on it. I built it to see if I could make a tank with the nonlego tracks I have. It can turn and drive. It has pretty good speed and does a good job climbing. It can climb a pretty steep slope and is pretty tough. The turret doesn't turn but is used to make it look more real. You need a delay in the program so you can put the turret back on after you start the program.

Tank Joystick 2

I changed the joystick to do the same thing with the third motor on the side instead of on the handle. So now it can turn further Left and Right. I used the same base for the most part then changed the height and a couple other things. Please tell me which one you like better. Feel free to copy it just make sure that you give me credit somehow. For more pictures use this link. http://mindstorms.lego.com/nxtlog/ProjectDisplay.aspx?id=0d140cc1-a204-4937-8b70-dc2ea53c9d2f

Tank Joystick 1

I built this joystick to control a tank. It has three degrees of freedom. They are 1.Left-Right 2. Forward-Back and 3.Turret Left-Right. The Touch sensor can be used for firing. I only have one NXT so I can't test it on anything. The NXT brick is at an angle so you can see the display better. If like me you only have one NXT then you can program it for games. It had one problem that you couldn't turn the joystick that far right before it hit the desk. Thanks to Philoo for the part that holds the Touch sensor. Thanks for looking and please comment.
