HiTechnic Compass Block v. 1.1
Thursday, December 7th, 2006For those who have the HiTechnic Compass sensor - there was a bug in the “Relative Mode” logic output terminal which I reported to HiTechnic a week ago, and they have quickly fixed it and posted a new block version (v. 1.1) on their download page. If you are using the compass sensor from HiTechnic I advise you to download the new block, and use the block import wizard (part of the Dynamic Palette update) to replace the existing one.

LEGO Mindstorms NXT Synchro Drive
Thursday, December 7th, 2006
Here’s a video of the running, and subsequent disassembly, of a LEGO Mindstorms NXT synchro drive.
I have been working on creating a new Synchro Drive for the turntable that comes with the Lego Mindstorms NXT kit. I have the basics worked out but I need to refine it a bit so I de-constructed it on video so I can start over.

Another Demo of Two NXTs in Action
Thursday, December 7th, 2006
Here’s another video demonstration of two NXTs in action, but unfortunately filmed with a low resolution. From the description provided, each robot removes his respective objects from the LEGO grid.
This demonstration is part of a student project at the Technical University of Denmark and has the following goals:
Two teams, red and blue, of modified tribot agents are collaborate in removing a number of blue and red items in a closed world. Only red team tribots can remove up red items, and the blue items can only be removed up by the blue team. If a tribot encounters an item which it is not permitted to remove, it must communicate the finding to the other tribots.
