dogWALKER: walker with instructions

Hello, not posted anything for ages, sorry. Been getting and starting a new job in the real world…

However, last weekend I built this little walker which I turned into a dog. Really pleased with the transmission setup which has much less slippage in the gears compared with that classic “cogs all down the side” way of doing walkers which I’ve seen loads of examples of.

I was keen to do instructions for this one, as I think it’s a good robot for kids to build. Still feels to me like there’s a lack of decent instructions for younger builders with the online community tending to concentrate on fairly advanced stuff.

I wanted to use LDD’s instruction generation for this and I am really impressed with it. The LDD file itself will be available on NXTlog shortly, but in the meantime the html instructions generated can be found here

Lego Pong with NXTCam

Here is an interesting robot from wayneage that plays Pong using a NXTCam camera to track a ball in real time. The NXTCam continuously sends the location (coordinates) of the ball to the NXT brick. The robot keeps adjusting its position to hit the ball when it is close enough. Before the robot starts, the NXTCam is taught the colours to track using another program called NXTCamView (this is not shown in the video). As you can see it works quite well - nice work!
