Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

This is a tad late but anyway,
HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY IRISH PEOPLE!!!!:D:D
This is a robot trap to trap leprechauns (pronounced lepre-corn) and capture their pot of gold!


So, what is a leprechaun? It is a type of fairy about the height of a small child, dressed in a green coat and and pointy shoes, has a beard (if it is a male) and a hat. They make shoes all the time, have hidden pots of gold at the end of the rainbow, and will have to grant you three wishes if you catch one, in order to be free again.


A leprechaun is always trying to trick you, so when you catch one, you must keep having eye contact with him, or else he will disappear! 
So here is a link to a video that catches one!
Try Building your own!!!!

Lego world Soccer with helmets!!!!

Now I'm proud to present.......LEGO MINDSTORMS SOCCER WITH HELMETS!!!!!!

Made by

NeXTSTORM

Anti-Wire Motors

I found that in the 3.0 something should open up a whole lot more of Robot Building possibilities. The motors are both wireless and the cable is for the ultrasonic sensor. It was a long one so it had to be wrapped around the frame of the car. I don't know if sensors could go wireless too.
It would be really cool if sensor went wireless. Then there would be no worry for the rage of the wire!!!!!!:):D

Walking Biped

Here is a walking biped robot that is very good at moving around on two legs.
It as a very natural and fluid feel to it.
At the beginning it is just random moves but near the end there will be a bit a walking and stuff.

Voice control NXT

"With 'NXT Speech Control' you are able to control your NXT robot over voice commands. With this app you just have to fill in your commands e.g. 'hurry up', 'go away', 'hide' to the prepared nxt-commands (forward, backward, left, right) and then choose the speed and distance."

Pretty cool eh? It's made for Andriod. It's called NXT Speech Control.

Blast OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lego space has blaster off today!!!!!!

Lizards

This is a build from the Unofficial Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 Inventors Guide.

This book is an updated version of David J. Perdue's original Inventor's Guide. For this revision, David revised the theory chapters and I've created the new project section. This includes six robot projects, with building instructions, programs and further exploration activities. All activities can be done with just one NXT 2.0 kit.

One of the robots is the Lizard, which also appears on the cover. It's a four legged animal that responds to different color signals. Blue accounts for normal behavior; Red colors will make it aggressive, and Green is food -- listen to what it says after I give a green signal, he's well raised!
