NXT-G

NXT-G 1.0 is now obsolete! Sort of. LEGO education is now selling NXT-G 1.1! Unfortunately the upgrade is not free, it costs $20 (oops, I mean "$19.99")

NXcavator




I was not entirely satisfied with the RoboArm T-56. A friend challenged me to build T-56 on motorized wheels, and I said it was not possible because T-56 uses all 3 motors. After a bit of thought, I changed my mind. To qualify as T-56's equal, it has to be able to rotate, move vertically, and grab.Here is what I made. So now the arm can release, down, grab, up by saying "motor A forward 360 degrees", rotate by saying "B Forward C backward" and have the added capability of going forward/backward.
I got the idea for it by ro1000's similiar robot.
