Re: NXT + VEX = REALY LARGE ROBOT!!! Does the warboss go *into* the catapult?
 You could fit an army of Orcs in "Da Robopult".

Re: NXT + VEX = REALY LARGE ROBOT!!! holy bible what a size!
and those wheels really attract me. esp. the ones in front! am I right, you can attache them to nxt motors? They look as if you can easily build an omnidirectional drive with them...? _________________ Ford Prefect Never purchase release 1.x ! (ancient programmer's wisdom) "Don't argue with idiots.

Re: NXT + VEX = REALY LARGE ROBOT!!! Ford,
Check these out: http://www.holonomicwheel.com/template. ... nomic.html You'll like these and they're NXT compatible.

Re: NXT + VEX = REALY LARGE ROBOT!!! wow, those VEX and "School of Robotics" stuffs are really amazing!I guess I need to make new plans considering my 6-axis robo arm  especially those 2 kits really look fine:   http://www.vexrobotics.com/vex-robotics-claw-kit.shtml http://www.vexrobotics.com/vex-robotics ... -kit.shtml I'm curious if they fit to Lego NXT or TETRIX parts and motors ? Or can the VEX motors be plugged to NXT ports or the HiTechnic motor mux? How strong are the VEX motors compared to the Lego motors? _________________ Ford Prefect Never purchase release 1.x !

Re: NXT + VEX = REALY LARGE ROBOT!!! The VEX shafts fit losely in the NXT motors, but still catch the shaft key. Btw, an FTC kit is coming for my team, and I will be testing code with that robot. Eventualy, the robot will compete in the FTC, but I have to make it a little smaller. Good thing Tectrix has the parts to make it smaller, and a drive system to replace the NXT motors so that they can power the puck retrieval system.

Re: NXT + VEX = REALY LARGE ROBOT!!! I don't know. Btw, I'm going to use a modified version of the arm.

Re: NXT + VEX = REALY LARGE ROBOT!!! The one on the robot. I rebuilt it to use forks instead of a catapult. I also added a shaft with wheels to collect pucks. Still waiting for that kit though...
Edit: Here are the pictures of the arm:
