NXT Camera

(A nice little camera made for the NXT.
It is a pinhole camera like the older types. It uses a 35mm film and the pinhole is quickly opened to expose the film.
The NXT also winds the film for another shot)

Megaminxer UPDATE

Newer Version of the MEGAMINXER

Super Power Megaminx Solver!!!

Okay, So you've seen robots solve Rubik's cubes.
But this is just awesome..

The Megaminx is a dodecahedron with 12 faces, each with 5 edges. Each face can be rotated in a similar way to the well-known Rubik's Cube puzzle.
The robot itself is built out of LEGO using a Mindstorms NXT kit for driving the mechanics. An HTC Desire smartphone running a custom Android app is the brain of the solver. The app uses the phone's camera to capture images of each face of the Megaminx which it then processes to determine the colors of the scrambled puzzle. After working out the solution, the app transmits the moves to the NXT controller via bluetooth to instruct it to solve the Magaminx.

OMG you have to see this:
