ATC - (A)ll (T)errain (C)rawler

February 26th, 2008 by NXTMonger

This is a sturdy little robot that I made a while ago that can get over anything. Well, not exactly, but it can get over dictionaries! It has 4 treads that can pivot freely, enabling it to have great traction when driving over books etc. Here’s the movie:

SumoBot v2

February 25th, 2008 by NXTMonger

Here it is… my latest creation worth publishing! It’s a sumo bot that was for the NXTLOG sumo challenge that as usual I missed due to the deadline being a couple months before I made this. Oh well, at least I can still post it here! So, pretty much what’s cool about it is traction. It has 6 wheels that give it awesome traction. The only disadvantage is that it drives kind of slowly, but if it collides with the opponent boy are they going down! The program isn’t really worth posting because it just has the robot stay on the table. There is no ultrasonic sensor to seek the opponent because due to limited space in my LEGO room (AKA bedroom) It would detect my dresser and attack it :-P Pictures here.

PPS - Ping Pong Shooter

February 24th, 2008 by NXTMonger

Hello, I’m NXTMonger, and I would hate to have a post just telling you who I am so here’s one of my projects: It’s called PPS - Ping Pong Shooter. It has a magazine of about seven ping pong balls and can shoot them out quite fast. In the video it’s remote controlled by me.

Can you Guess What I am?

February 22nd, 2008 by snowblader13

This is my newest creation that I am currently working on. (Well actually one out of three that I am. HeHe) This is just the first stage of this project, Because it was a little too late at night to continue it. Like all things it will have to be ripped apart and rebuilt so that it is stronger and can support ALOT more weight. This project will use an NXT for its Propulsion and other functions

I am going to make 2 versions of this for similar yet different purposes.

Judging from the pictures can you guess what I am going to be used for? Like I had stated above there are going to be 2 variations of this used for a similar purpose but different at the same time.

One will be for… And the other for…

Leave a comment for what you will think it will be used for.

meowmechanic on NXTLOG has created one of the best looking bipeds I’ve ever seen so far. It uses just one NXT set, and can walk forward, turn right, and turn left.
