BrickFest ‘06 - John Brost’s Camera Bot

brost.jpg

MDP member John Brost was kind enough to tell me about his LEGO Mindstorms NXT robot on display for BrickFest. The robot uses two intelligent bricks, one for the vehicle and one for the controller, communicating with each other via bluetooth. With a Kodak EasyShare V570 mounted on the front of the vehicle, John is able to send streaming video back to his laptop with a wireless transmitter. It also comes equipped with a BIONICLE Zamor sphere shooter that he demonstrates by pegging a kid in the leg. Awesome.

See the video! At one point, he has a run in with another robot. He should’ve pegged that one to death with spheres.  Muhahah…
