(...) What exactly do you mean by "Dead"? I've never seen any NXTs die. I've been told it's possible to reprogram the flash memory enough to wear it out, but that required someone writing a PC program that did nothing but reprogram the flash, and (...)

I have 11 commercial (C) and 25 educational (E) NXT sets. The 11Cs are doing fine after about 4 battery changes. They have been in use since July 2006 for about 60 class hours. I'm sure there's a more empirical way to calculate how much run-time 4 (...) (19 years ago, 23-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) Here are the pictures of the Power Functions elements from the Bulldozer 8275, including pictures of the plugs. (URL) (when modified). You can see it's a 4-wire system. There are basically 2 wires for power and 2 for control. I'll give more (...) (19 years ago, 23-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

1). I am envious... 2). Can you post pictures of the underside of the connector, the battery box connector and the IR connector? I would much appreciate it, thanks.

Here's a "rover robot" built,apparently, out of the new IR Bulldozer. August is much too far away. I like the look of those motors, not just for this but for GBC modules and other "simple" automation, and (if the IR system is compatiable) with the (...)

(...) Hmm, this is interesting. The capabilities that aren't used by the current firmware are very curious. I can see the purpose of multiple sprites and draw modes though. With that, you could do masked graphics. A mask sprite would be drawn first (...) (19 years ago, 22-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
