Thank you, most of the students could'nt belive that the Robot used no glue,
they had a hard time understanding that the whole structure stayed together
under it's own construction. Cross bracing beams is the key.
Also they were'nt familair with the Vision Command Lego Cam Sensors. When I
explained that I could stand in front of the Robot and move my left arm, the
Robot moves it's left arm in the same manner, it seemed like Science Fiction
to them.
Some of the other ussual questions were, how long did it take to build it-
2yrs. ,How much did it cost you? $4000, Where do you get the parts, Are you
going to make the rest of the body? -yes and the Robot will have six legs
and a set of wings. Like the Proto in this pix:

Another question asked was can it talk. -yes Vision command can play a wave
file of your choosing when a command stack is triggered by the Vision Sensor.
Thanks!
Enjoy
Eric
