Are the plans for the NXT Scorpion available online or anywhere in a printed or printable form? I'd much rather build it from paper plans than from my screen. Thanks, -Jon Gilchrist (20 years ago, 6-Sep-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) Well, sort of. First, what the US sensor returns is the range of the nearest sound-reflecting surface: but it's not a pencil thin laser beam of sound, so the same object might be detected at slightly different angles, making the object apeear (...) (20 years ago, 6-Sep-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Actually, my counter was mechanical, in that each ball temporarily opened a normally closed touch sensor, and the RCX was just counting touches. For an optical one, you can use a ball breaking a lightbeam (two light sensors pointed at each (...) (20 years ago, 6-Sep-06, to lugnet.robotics)

I haven't bought an NXT yet and I have a question about the ultrasonic sensor it comes with. Can I use it to take a bunch of readings and then use them assemble up a 3D picture of what is around the sensor, kind of like how a radar works? How long (...) (20 years ago, 6-Sep-06, to lugnet.robotics)
