1). I am envious... 2). Can you post pictures of the underside of the connector, the battery box connector and the IR connector? I would much appreciate it, thanks.

(...) Here are the pictures of the Power Functions elements from the Bulldozer 8275, including pictures of the plugs. (URL) (when modified). You can see it's a 4-wire system. There are basically 2 wires for power and 2 for control. I'll give more (...) (18 years ago, 23-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

it's not lego, but here's a robot I'm working on: (URL) I think a balancing biped can be built with NXT. It's an open challenge! -dbm (18 years ago, 27-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics)

I searched for the dinosaur set on Brickshelf and got a fuzzy pic of the box. Apart from the elements you mention there appears to be a white box which could be a sound system. Can you explain what it is and how it ties into all of this? linmix (...) (18 years ago, 28-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics)

Wow, that's very cool! It's hard to get a sense of scale from the video -- how tall is the robot? What technology are you using for the balancing? I would think this to be quite difficult with the standard NXT set, but maybe possible with some (...) (18 years ago, 28-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics)

On the large motor, why all that wasted space on the drkGry part that could have pin (...) (18 years ago, 28-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
