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.

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. For more pictures go to this link. http://mindstorms.lego.com/nxtlog/ProjectList.aspx?MemberId=4048cbe2-10c8-45e4-87d2-8ec5d2361018&UserName=®NXTThanks for looking and please comment.
