Finally squeezed in some time between punching in NQC code and
oh-so-necessary sleep to post something :))
Robot's Name
"Thumper"
I'll let you figure this one out :))
Designer's Name(s) :
Me
# of RCXs :
2 - one controls the tool positioning on the board and does most of
processing, the other controls the tool (grabbing, lifting, block detection,
etc)
Programming Language:
NQC with RCX2.0 firmware
# of Motors and Types :
five 9v gear-motors - 3 for horizontal movement, 1 for vertical, 1 for
grip
# of Touch Sensors :
1 - controls tool lifting and lowering
# of Light Sensors :
1 - block detection
# of Rotation Sensors:
2 - one for each horizontal axis
Robot Design Description:
Rather simple racks'n'gears gantry design. The board is solved on the fly,
i.e. no pre-scanning. RCXs communicate via IR transmissions with built in
error handling. Also features a top-secret EOAT (well not all that secret
anymore since most of you have seen it already).
# of MiniFigs:
1 - custom Balrog minifig (a monster from Diablo1&2), serves no
mechanical purpose

| I'm getting curious about different peoples entries for rtl10 and though it would be cool if we did a robot roll call. I've come up with some categories below, feel free to add more. I'll replay to this message with my own details in a moment. Derek (...) (22 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
