Video: LEGO Bobcat Skid Steer Loader

Friday, April 18th, 2008 by snowblader13 in NXT, Projects

Here is a really cool Bobcat that i found on you tube, it uses Lego pneumatics to control the lift and tip of the bucket. This is a really good example of how one can combine pneumatics and the NXT together. I wish there were more information on it so that it would be easier to replicate, or make improvements.
