(...) Actually, I haven't thought of that - at least partially because I've never had those axles. But I would think that a vertical axle driving meshed crown gears to drive the horizontal propellor axle, or even an inclined axle that is turned (...) (17 years ago, 13-Sep-07, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I never seriously considered LEGO robotic boats... until I was walking through the LEGO asile one day, while thinking about the Hitechnic compass sensor, and my eyes glanced off the words "ship floats" on the LEGO box.

(...) Thank you very much! (...) Actually, there still seem to be relatively few robotic water-craft around, to my surprise. That is an excellent project, and I'd not seen it. I'm also really glad I did not have to go the same route as he did (...) (17 years ago, 13-Sep-07, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Wow Brian, that looks cool. I never thought of making a NXT boat. If I did I would probably not let go anywhere much other than a bath tub, it's pretty brave to take it out somewhere. I'd be worried about recovering the craft if the batteries (...) (17 years ago, 13-Sep-07, to lugnet.robotics)

If you have a spare NXT and a motivated student it would be really interesting to see what they think :-) (...) (17 years ago, 12-Sep-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
