I finally Bought Me a Crawler Crane

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008 by Airkraft in NXT

I have been meaning to buy myself the crawler crane set (8288) for ages, but Lego discontinued them in the UK at Christmas 2007. However, after spending my £5 Lego voucher in my local Lego shop yesterday, I went to Toys R Us and to my great surprise, they had ONE left in stock. So I bought it.

LEGO set 8288

And I must say, this is one of the best sets I have ever bought (apart from the NXT). It took me about 70 minutes to build, and it spent last night guarding my phone on my desk. Today I will build the second model that can be made from the set, and then tomorrow I will set about sorting out the pieces, so I can use them in my upcoming Mindstorms Models.

New Site TeamNXT.org

Sunday, February 17th, 2008 by snowblader13 in NXT

TeamNXT.org is up and running. It like my site, is fairly new and trying to get the word out. So if you are into Lego NXT this is an excellent site to check out as they will have many robots posted there. They have ties to NXTGallery.com where they have a nice collection of many different robots. You can also Post your own robots on the site, and view others that members have created.

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.

Check it out on NXTLOG here.
