Rise of the Machines.
Building a robot can be quite a huge pain in the ass sometimes especially when you’re not good with fabricating metal parts and welding stuff together. Easy way out, use Lego Technic/Mindstorm NXT.
Anyway here is the preview of the robot I’m working on now. Its still in its infancy, I am just trying out different designs for the chassis. The following track system was conceived after 4 previous failed attempts. It has independent suspension for each wheel and will be powered by Power Functions motor connected to a IR receiver which will, in turn, be linked to the NXT using HiTechnic’s IR Link sensor.
Oh yes, this is only the proof-of-concept model. Going to make it bigger so I have more space to mount more stuff.
