  robo soccer
 
I'm not sure if this is a right forum to ask for this. I am wondering if there is anyone who may be interested in working with 10 high school kids on learning how to do robosoccer. --Elizabeth (18 years ago, 12-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Building and downloading NXT firmware
 
Hello Hackers, That's my first post to this group so I would like to introduce myself shortly: I'm a 34 year old german who has studied computer science some years ago. Being on the job for a few years I decided to go back to the university to get a (...) (18 years ago, 11-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt.nxthacking)

(...) "regulation" (...) out" into (...) We'd like to see how soccer balls would run through our modules. I'm guessing that some would take the smaller balls just fine and could slip right into a regulation GBC, but others would find that their (...) (18 years ago, 11-May-07, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Zamor Spheres
 
(...) This is indeed the main problem. As we originally defined a GBC it used soccer balls (at the time, Zamors hadn't yet even come out), so most GBC-standard modules not only use but take advantage of the fact that a LEGO soccer ball fits very (...) (18 years ago, 11-May-07, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Zamor Spheres
 
<<but I gather that means they may not work in a ball pump e.g.>> I chose to use Zamor spheres (because of their availability) for our GBC in my small robotics/engineering class. The kids have made ball pumps, Archimede's screws, stair lifts, chain (...) (18 years ago, 11-May-07, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Robo Quad - Stage Seven
 
(...) Thanks. When I make one for the head motion it should be pretty cool. The action of the left/right and up/down is pretty quick. - Eric Sophie (18 years ago, 10-May-07, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Robo Quad - Stage Seven
 
(...) Thank you, it is just taking a long time to build. I don't want to build it the wrong way. So I choose carefully the steps involved. Plus, it is tough going on my fingers. (...) Hard to say. All the joints are very strong. The motors provide (...) (18 years ago, 10-May-07, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: Robo Quad - Stage Seven
 
(...) Very impressive. The complexity of this robot is astounding. It looks very heavy. Will there be enough power for the weight? I am not doubting your work but it is a question that may come to some when they see how many parts are involved in (...) (18 years ago, 10-May-07, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, FTX)

Coming along nicely Eric. Can't wait to see video of this thing in action. Cheers, Nathan (18 years ago, 9-May-07, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, FTX)

  Re: pbLua Beta 8 - with pixel and battery voltage reading

Then, as I was writing some docs for pbLua I realized that it would be a nice way to get screenshots of the display. It's pretty easy to read the (...)

  Re: Control Lab & NQC
 
(...) linmix, if you can program in NQC, you can use C. It's pretty much the same language. You'll just have to learn how to use the serial port, it's not that hard. Get a book on C programming from your local library or bookstore. Get a little (...) (18 years ago, 7-May-07, to lugnet.robotics)

  Re: Control Lab & NQC
 
(...) Unfortunately the link is dead. Why not use real C? Because I'm not a programmer and don't know C. Anything I do know (like NQC) I got from tutorials specific for LEGO. linmix (18 years ago, 7-May-07, to lugnet.robotics)

  Re: Control Lab & NQC
 
(...) The Control Lab is a serial I/O device. I don't see the benefit of using NQC with it since it doesn't run programs itself; the computer does. NQC would have to change in a fundamental way to accommodate it: either compile to bytecodes for a (...) (18 years ago, 7-May-07, to lugnet.robotics)
