Here is a video of LEGO Trains run on the good ol’ RCX platform. tbenter actually used a PID algorithm to make sure that the trains are going the correct speed.

Here’s a video of a TETRIX robot running through a small farm. The robot uses its sensors to make sure that it’s running along the lines correctly.

The description below is from DRV47 from our forums. Thanks for the post!
This is our first project using the NXTcam v3 frommindsensors.com.

The aim of this bot is to find and shoot down three red targets. It’s programmed with RobotC.

The design is the Multi-Bot by Dave Parker from nxtprograms.com (except for the NXTcam module and the LEGO Color Sensor).

Here are some pictures of the robot:…

Mike Barnkob posted a really nice project on the ROBOTC forums;  a liquid handling robot.  I am sure you’ve seen them on most CSI shows; not like this one, however.  As you can see from the picture, it’s a fairly large …

“Teemune” from the forums contributed this cool robot participating in a competition. The robot collects cans in a checkered board. Here’s a description of the competition:

Thanks C. Shepherd for submitting this one. Here is his really awesome project:

“So I was tinkering around with a bunch of mechanisms, and before I knew it I was into another project and it kept getting bigger and bigger. Take Omnibot, throw in some Kismet with some Lego Lips, and this is what you get.”

Now here’s a great robot that actually prints words using dominoes. You’ll have to see the video to get the full effect, but here’s the description:

“A Lego NXT robot that uses one Lego NXT, three servos, the HiTechnic IRLink sensor and 8 medium PF motors with receivers to lay dominoes to spell a message.”

Mindsensors was kind of enough to send me one of their prototype sensors, the Power Meter, to play with.  It’s a sensor that allows you to measure, among other things, the current and voltage of anything you care to connect to it (within limits, …
