Andrew, known as Legoguy in our lively forums, has created a LEGO Mindstorms NXT robot controllable by anyone via the internet.
Armed with a Vision Command camera, daring explorers can roam the robot’s terrain using an internet dashboard. The interface is flexible to either click-and-hold presses of the controls or text input. Commands are subsequently sent from Andrew’s machine to the robot over Bluetooth.
This project is all running from Andrew’s home server. Thus, to facilitate communication between those who are controlling the robot and those who are spectating, he has established an IRC server (turbogfx.homelinux.org) with a channel (#robot) for people to meet and chat. Enjoy!
