My LEGO Mindstorms Creations

Before getting into competition battling robots I played a lot with LEGO Mindstorms. The toy helped me learn a lot about mechanics that we applied to building our robots.
Mindstorms Autofabrik

Eine Anlage, die Legoautos herstellt. Gebaut von der Robotik-Gruppe des Veit-Höser-Gymnasiums Bogen. A machine producing small LEGO cars.
MINDSTORMS NXT® portrayer robot

This robot draws portraits, elaborating photos and images. The software on the PC is developed under MATLAB®, following the ideas of Claude Baumann and his students at www.restena.lu (Erik's XY plotter). The hardware is LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT® and a soft tip pen. Made by Daniele Benedettelli in 2008. More details at robotics.benedettelli.com
MakerLegoBot: Lego Mindstorms NXT 3D Lego Printer

The MakerLegoBot can print 3D Lego models, using standard Lego bricks. In this video, a simple Lego house is printed from an MLCad model on my computer. The robot uses 3 Mindstorm NXT robot brick's and 9 motors. You can find more information and build instructions at www.battlebricks.com
Lego Mindstorms NXT - The Beer Machine Final

Lego Mindstorm robot plays connect four

Constructed and programmed by Arthur van Hoff using Lego Mindstorms. It uses a one mind, three motors, two rotational sensors, one optical sensor. The robot can only play black, because it can only see the red pieces in the board. The first version was completed in February of 2004. This video was recorded in September 2007.
RoboFlush: The Lego Mindstorms NXT Toilet Flushing Robot

RoboFlush has one purpose, to flush a toilet. Using the Lego Mindstorms NXT Kit, with a motor, touch sensor for manual flushing, and the ultrasonic sensor for flush detection, RoboFlush removes the need to flush your own toilet. Check out www.battlebricks.com for instructions and more!
Lego Mindstorms Gumball Sorter

Mindstorms NXT machine which sorts out 5 different colours using only two motors and the light sensor.
LEGO Mindstorms NXT Crossbow

Fifth in the www.motocube.com line of Ball Lego Ball throwers, this one manages about 30ft. Sadly I don't have a 30ft large room to test it in, so this is all you get.
LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 CNC mill

This is a demonstration of my simple Mindstorm 3-axis milling machine. This model was the first one i built with the NXT (excluding the practice models on the software disc). The programs used in this video is very very simple since i haven't yet learned the more advanced programing features off the software on the disc. I will probably upload videos on future projects if i fell like or if the response on this video is reasonable ;).

PriNXT - A LEGO Mindstorms NXT Printer (Drawing WilsonTech1)

MOAR INFO: goo.gl . . . GOOGLE+: goo.gl PriNXT is my first ever LEGO Mindstorms NXT printer, capable of printing images up to 120 by 140 pixels in resolution. In this video, it draws a picture of the legendary Lamarr Wilson, or WilsonTech1, who does a daily tech show here on YouTube. Music is in the public domain

CubeStormer

The Worlds Fastest Lego Mindstorms RCX Speedcubing Robot. Built entirely from lego elements with a lego web camera to scan the faces of the cube, The solve engine (algorithm) running on the computer is provided by the incredible "Cube Explorer "software which also provides the colour recognition required to determine the exact location of each coloured square. Thanks to Herbert Kociemba for making his work available to anyone wishing to use it! Respect! "Cube Explorer" has the ability to produce very fast solutions to a successfully scanned cube, usually around 20 face turns! Doesn't sound a lot , but it has been proven that 20 turns are enough to solve ANY 3x3x3 cube combination. Special thanks to David Gilday for his assistance with the software interface to "Cube Explorer."

lego mindstorms NXT robots football

football of lego robots. final exercise of adaptive robots course. that was fun :). Our robot starts on the right. they are definitely NOT remote controlled, that's kinda the whole idea that the should be autonomous, or at least we tried to make them as autonomous as possible. the robot has a color camera (that is not a standard lego thing, we connected it via i2c), a compas, a radar and a light detector.
LEGO Mindstorms NXT: A Brief Introduction & Tutorial Part 1

This is part 1 of a brief introduction and tutorial to LEGO Mindstorms NXT. Topics discussed are (1) what is included with the NXT robotics kit and (2) how to build a simple NXT robot. See part 2 for a look at (3) programming an NXT robot and (4) testing an NXT robot. www.youtube.com This was my topic of choice when given an instructional video assignment in one of my college courses. UPDATE: Added captions on Nov 20, 2009. Check out my website for a hi-res download: chadcardwell.net

A Kinect-controlled LEGO MindStorms tribot

A gesture-controlled robotic vehicle. EDIT: both in the video and in the description below, I incorrectly attribute the OpenNI library to National Instruments, while "NI" actually stands for "Natural Interaction". The LEGO libraries, on the other hand, are made available by National Instruments. The two independent motors are controlled by my arms, as if I was handling two levers (as seen in some escavators and in tanks). Implemented with some C/C++ code, using open libraries to acquire Kinect input (National Instruments' OpenNI + OpenKinect), for body tracking (by PrimeSense) and for controlling the LEGO MindStorms NXT kit (again, National Instruments' OpenNI + Fantom). See rasomuro.org for details!

Learn all about Mindstorms NXT 2.0. Build and program your own robots! See more here: www.amazon.com Many NXT Segways out there work very well, but they're hard to get to work with common tools software. Therefore, I decided to create a step-by-step tutorial to making your own Segway with simple tools. All you need is Any version of the NXT set (Hence AnyWay), plus the HiTechnic Gyro Sensor.

Faster Lego Mindstorms NXT T-Shirt Folding Machine

I removed the delays between each stage in the sequence and now the machine is faster than it was before.

Lego Mindstorms NXT T-Shirt Folding Machine

My Lego Mindstorms NXT T-Shirt Machine. It is based on the following videos: www.youtube.com www.youtube.com I put one-second delays between each stage of the folding sequence. In reality, the robot can do it much faster than seen here if I remove the delays. My roommates and I actually just fold our T-shirts without the NXT attached. The NXT integration was just to show that T-shirt folding can be partially automated. The faster version: www.youtube.com
