NXT-Robotics

I have built many robots and here are some of mine. Just click the picture for more info!

My First Model: Airplane- This model is my first and hopefully not my last. It uses worm gears to adjust the side flaps and let me experimented with gears!

4WIDR V2- This robot again uses 4 motors. Only this time the back tires are well, tires! The US is able to do two things at once: detect walls and detect ledges or clifs.

SRB- This robot is a ultra compact design with the US sensor snugly fit under the main robot unlike other robots that may have it poking out from the front, making it get hit by objects.

4WIDR- This robot uses 4 "wheels" and is a 4 wheeler. It uses 4 motors and 2 NXTs.

Propeller Bot V4-  This robot uses a 4 bladed design and has a more reinforced central shaft for heavier propellers and move at 5 inches per second!

Propeller Bot V2 -This robot uses only 2 motors and drives much faster than any of my previous Propeller Bots.

X-32 -A experimental non Lego bladed with 4 motors and 2 NXT the 3rd NXT is there to synchronize the two NXTs on board the robot.

 Propeller Bot V1 -A robot that uses a propeller to drive around!

OK you might be thinking can I count? Well yes because Propeller Bot V3 is a highly classified fast racer type bot. Well this robot is slower than V3 and is different in many different ways. It is able to cruise faster than V2. It moves at about 5 inches per second.  It has a 4 blade. An 8 blade propeller would not be likely made. This robot has been submitted to NXTGallery's alternaive propulsion robot. You could see my post here.
Non-LEGO pieces: Propeller
BTW The thing the minifig is holding is the light torch used by ground crews to direct airplanes.

Update: Thanks Evan for choosing this robot as the winner to the NXTGallery 2008 Alternative Propulsion Contest!

This robot uses propellers to propel it at mach 0.0 Well this robot is the 2nd Lego robot that almost uses all lego with lego motors. I’ll thank Linus for giving me the insperation that I could improve majorly on my V1 design. Also some ideas were also from him. The propeller blades are the only non lego element. (Yes even the batteries are from lego) See my posting at NXTGallery.com.

Expirimental version of V2 robot. This robot uses 2 bricks and a 3rd brick for scronized startup. It is not much faster than V1 and it just a bigger rock compared to V2. This robot only has a non lego propeller. This was my first robot to use 3 NXTs together with bluetooth. See my NXTGallery posting here.

My V1 of my propeller bot in full lego. This was actually a very bad design with unstable motor to NXT support. But it still moves! It was actually a rock compared to my V2. A very big rock !
