I've been lurking with interest, teach intro robotics in middle school among other tech subjects, and wonder if any of you use the latest version of MicroWorlds EX Robotics, V 1.6, to program NXT robots. I just found out about that capability so (...) (16 years ago, 23-Jul-08, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Neither. I actually purchased those from Mindsensors. They sell a thinner, flexible cable with NXT-style plugs. For the HALE mission (what this payload is aimed at - launch in 7 days or so), every gram counts, and I realized that at least in (...) (16 years ago, 23-Jul-08, to lugnet.robotics)

I had this error message on a Vista system. RIS 2.0 worked fine the first time I ran it, but gave this error every subsequent time (even if I uninstalled/reinstalled it). Memory definitely wasn't an issue since the system had 4GB RAM plus swap (...) (16 years ago, 22-Jul-08, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Thanks Mark - those are nice designs. In my case I needed the precision, but I also needed a very compact implementation *and* it had to mount to an NXT motor: (URL) pretty happy with the design, but the slop really needed to be compensated (...) (16 years ago, 22-Jul-08, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Hi Brian, If you're struggling with worm gaps for your leadscrew, this pic of my crane worm gearbox might help: (URL) worm is two worms long, plus two pairs of old type (crennellated) half bushes (small pulleys) and an old type 14-tooth bevel (...)

(...) That would make sense, but for the fact that the worm gear is ten years older than the gearbox that you cited. The only reason that the worm gear had to be made a tiny bit less than 2 studs long was so that when you put it between two TECHNIC (...)

(...) Nice defense! I'm sure the NI engineers have anticipated the complexities you've mentioned. Hence, no scary print-to-text. However, I'm not asking for anything so ambitious. I hold that a print-to-text within the context of plain NXT-G (no (...) (16 years ago, 21-Jul-08, to lugnet.events.brickworld, lugnet.robotics)
