 | | Re: Design
|
| I imagine that if I were to ever design a robot's functions on paper first, I'd probably use a finite state machine, since FSMs map to events pretty well. The robot's functions would have to be complex enough to make it worth it, though. For code, (...) (19 years ago, 30-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)

| | Vehicle with square wheels
|
| I saw this linked on Slashdot: (URL) Allow me to cut through the inventor's verbosity and translate the concept: The square wheels are mechanically linked and turn in unison, but they're offset from each other. The weight at the top of the vehicle (...) (19 years ago, 6-Dec-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, FTX)

| (...) Fantastic work. I hadn't even started my attempt. I like your using the battery box as the weight -- it's very simple and compact. I noticed from the video that it tends to veer left. Are the wheels losing traction when they're fully flat? (19 years ago, 12-Dec-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

| | Re: Lego "style" wire and electrical connectors
|
| (...) As a purist I'll tell you that LEGO's educational store sells wires in 3 meter lengths along with the more typical sizes. However, I've had to make my own wires before, so . . . Official LEGO wire is pretty thin; I'd guess it's 24 guage. (...) (19 years ago, 16-Dec-05, to lugnet.robotics)

| | Re: mindstorms NXT

| (...) I thought of this yesterday. If I end up as one of the 100 people who get it early, I'll connect a LEGO USB tower to the NXT USB port and see if I can get the NXT to control the tower. I assume I'll need a USB type-A to type-B converter. As (...) (19 years ago, 6-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)
