I got bogged down fixing bugs in the legOS rotation sensor code (since losing or adding a count meant seeking permanent TILT instead of level!). For (...)

I've built a self-leveling platform using a pendulum and light sensor approach. The response time of the pendulum is not very fast, but the platform does not move very fast either, so it works reasonably well. Details can be found here: (URL) that (...) (25 years ago, 23-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics)

I have found a few starts at interfaces to Mindstorms with Java but they seem overly complex. There is a package for Smalltalk that used the sprite.ocx call Bot-Kit that seems much more direct and straight forward. I wonder if there is an equivalent (...)

Hi, At wat I believe is referred to as "the Mindstorms Mall Tour 2000" I have seen a model which has six of these launchers mounted in a circle. It looks just like a machine gun. For mounting a small 'pulleywheel' was used. The whole construction of (...) (25 years ago, 21-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics)

Is there anyway to increase the speed/rotational velocity of the stock motors that come in the RIS 1.5 kit? Or are there ways to increase the speed or get motors that rotate faster? .nathan. (25 years ago, 22-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics)

The MindStorms Mall Tour had a "shooter" robot that used the Vision Command system to track a target (another robot). When on target, a gatlin gun made of these projecters would start spinning and shoot a few darts. I think it was five projecters (...) (25 years ago, 21-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics)

I noticed that the lugnet shop-at-home specials this week includes 8268 at $5. This is a deal because the service pack that contained the projectile projector (?) alone used to cost that much and they have been discontinued, so for all you designers (...)
