This Cyborg Arm Is the First Step to a Badass LEGO Mech Suit At some point in your nerdy childhood, you surely imagined what it would be like to build an entire exoskeleton out of Lego. How much fun would that be to have a LEGO creation you could (...) (10 years ago, 12-Aug-14, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.general, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.lego, FTX)

| | Import NXT 1.0 models into NXT 2.0 software?
|

I have both versions of the NXT set, and I would like to have a single software installation that has both the 1.0 and 2.0 models. Is there any way to import the 1.0 models and tutorials into the 2.0 software? (11 years ago, 15-Apr-14, to lugnet.robotics)

That's where I started. Clicking on Download on that page takes you to another page that says NXT. Clicking Download on that page takes you to a page that says you're about to install the EV3 software. This is where I stopped the first time. But as (...) (11 years ago, 3-Apr-14, to lugnet.robotics)

| | Updated NXT Software?

I'm trying to install NXT software on a new machine from the NXT 2.0 CD, and from reading around it sounds like there have been some updates. Unfortunately, the Lego site only has EV3 software. You can find pages that talk about the NXT software, (...) (11 years ago, 2-Apr-14, to lugnet.robotics)

The EV3's motor block can move a servo x number of degrees in a given direction, and the motor stops when it reaches this target. It then continues on to the next block in the program. Some time ago, HiTechnic released a block for NXT that would (...) (11 years ago, 25-Nov-13, to lugnet.robotics)

Glad the EV3 software download is free. It would definitely support the students working on their programs outside of the lab. Of course, in many of the Title I schools, many have no access to home computers. It's going to be interesting how younger (...) (11 years ago, 11-Sep-13, to lugnet.robotics)

Also I got an interesting reply from lego. I asked them why all of their motors were slow. I MOC'ed a 8090 Supercar together with a 30,000 rpm 7.2 Hobby RC motor. Great in theory… reality not so much. I got it to move quickly and I spun a tire off (...) (11 years ago, 9-Sep-13, to lugnet.robotics)
