I’ve just noticed that NXTLOG have upgraded to NXTLOG 2.0 (which you can post videos on) and they’ve come up with a new building challenge; the Earth day building challenge.
Obviously, you will have to come up with a robot that helps the planet in some way. It will be interesting to see what kind of robots people will come up with for this challenge.
Still working on that LDD file and program for Lonesome George!
Check this out!! This is a really good example of a robot playing instruments. From what I see it records what he drums and plays the beat back. How cool!!!
I recently discovered a great freeware CAD (Computer- Aided Design) program called Blender that I have been playing around with. It’s available for Windows and Mac. Here’s a screenshot of a snowman I made with it:
Admittedly it’s not a work of art but it’s my first project. I am hoping to make some LEGO parts at some point. Also, although it’s difficult, you can also do 3-D animation with Blender. I haven’t figured that out yet, but I’m going to take a class based on blender, so hopefully, I’ll learn how to do it then.
