New Projects

These are my latest projects NXHummer and ButterMilk This is the first spot you can see them at. I will put them on NXTLog eventually. I am currently programming a turret that I built.

Photoshop

This is a robot I made before NXShoes I built it to take pictures of Lego creations and whatever else you have. Here is the link to more pictures and details.

NXShoes

This is my latest robot and first biped based on the little plastic toy shoes.
I have posted it on NXTLog and it is pending approval But I made this video to show how it works.

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.

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.

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.

NXTerrainiac

I was inspired by my brother to build a vehicle like the Tyco Terrainiac only using the pieces from the NXT kit. But I ended up using a few pieces not in the kit that I listed further down. So this is my variation on Tyco's RC car. I hope you enjoy it as much as me and my brother. Thanks for looking and please comment.

NXBase

This is a base my brother asked me to build. It can launch a Zamor sphere and a missile. The gate can open to let the good guys out to fight. I used a variation on sqiddster's Zamor launcher. Thanks for looking and please comment on it. For more pictures use this link. http://mindstorms.lego.com/nxtlog/ProjectDisplay.aspx?id=f1f395b4-d734-4f60-b0be-2690098fa1ed

SkimMilk

This little guy was only alive for half of a day. He was brought to life in one hour. This guy was quite active and was just plain crazy. I used one of each: Intelligent Brick, Motor and Ultrasonic Sensor. I also put some instructions. The first pic is of the front of the bot the second and third pictures are of the side fourth and on are instructions. Thanks for looking and please comment.

Robo Assasin

This robot was built with the upper body of Alpha Rex and a variation on Tribots base. It can drive and turn. It shoots a missile. Three sensors are included. Touch, Ultra-Sonic and Light. I can't make a LDD file because it is a hybrid model (several sets)which is hard to put into LDD. I didn't program all the sensors into the robot but there are lots of possibilities. I have already taken this robot apart. Feel free to copy it just mention my name. Ask any questions you might have and please post on my project. Thanks for looking!

Wall Tram

The wall tram was built to traverse a Lego wall. It doesn't go very fast because real trams don't go very fast. but you can change that. Two motors, six wheels and lots of pieces. You will find instructions below. This robot has been assimilated. I would love for people to comment on it.For more pictures use this link. http://mindstorms.lego.com/nxtlog/ProjectDisplay.aspx?id=19026800-b1c9-4ffe-a299-8fa87cf49837
