(...) Ouch, I understand quite well, actually*. But I agree with John, it sounds like the NXT might be in firmware update mode. If you *haven't* already done it, download the latest firmware (1.04), and a patch for the driver (1.02), from LEGO's (...) (19 years ago, 24-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) Hi, very nice work; as Space sets hardly ever brought any "cargo" (barrels, containers ...), the Blacktron group can now steal vessels, at least :-) Regards, Florian (19 years ago, 24-Feb-07, to lugnet.space)

(...) That is amazing. I'm simply in love with it. I'm beginning to think that all my future lego building must involve playsets. Thanks, Tim (19 years ago, 24-Feb-07, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)

(...) It sounds to me like the NXT is simply in firmware download mode. There is no visible reaction on the NXT once it is in that mode but you should hear a faint clicking sound. That's what the reset button does - i.e., it puts the NXT into (...) (19 years ago, 24-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

An elite command of operatives specialized in stealing vehicles of all sorts and converting them to meet with rigorous Blacktron military specs. Shown below is one of many Cosmic Cruisers that were indoctrinated into the Blacktron fleet. These (...) (19 years ago, 24-Feb-07, to lugnet.space, FTX)

The Sourceforge shell service finally came back on line today so I was able to update my web pages again. The official links to beta 27 are up now.

You may not find this terribly interesting, but I have implemented an RIC to Text converter (a decompiler, if you will) which generates source code for an RIC file in a text format. Soon BricxCC will have support for writing and (...) (19 years ago, 24-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.nxt)

First, let me repeat the request for specifics. I *have* had some reports of indivdual sensors failing (and being replaced by LEGO), as well as the rare motor that seems a little bit to high in internal friction (and, again, at least addressed by (...)

Looking very good! Especially for a space MOC ; ) The streamlined nature of the whole thing appeals to me and the back story represents everything that makes me cringe...and then smile... at space. God Bless and thanks for sharing, Nathan (URL) (19 years ago, 23-Feb-07, to lugnet.space, FTX)

An underpowered NXT will behave erratically, and therefore, as the battery looses its (...) (19 years ago, 23-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
