NXT – The next (or just the beginning) of Lego’s programmable brick technology. Lego has done an amazing job of allowing it’s technology to be fully ‘hacked’ Hardware as much as software wise. (uses 1 rechargeable pack or 6 AA batt) .

Lego Technic – Super well engineered Lego piece that allow you to designed anything you can imagine. It evolved from stud to studless similarly like the RCX evolved into the NXT yet all of it –ALL Lego– works together from the first piece 50 years ago to the latest Bionicle set.

Power Functions (PF) – Lego latest motor system for the Technic line. (uses 6 AA batt)

HiTechnic – A Lego certified third party sensor vendor, makers of the IRlink to name just one, allows the control of PF motors via the NXT.

Mindsensors – Yet another third party sensor vendor, first to develop the NXTServo module, allow for up to 8 RC hobby servos (like Futaba’s) to be controlled via only one NXT’s sensor port. (uses 4 AA batt).

NXT-G – The software designed by Labview that ships with the retail NXT kit.
my Wall-E NXT – just one example of combining all of these technologies into one well known cinema robo-hero.

SPECS: 1 NXT with rechargable pack, 3 Servo Motors, 4 PF motors, 2 IR receiver, 1 UltraSonic sensor, 1 sound sensor, 1 IRlink, 1 NXTservo module and 1 mini RC servo, 10 AA batteries and Lego from the Bulldozer #8275 and other parts from various technic sets, topped with over 100 hours of fun.

I wish the thing would be faster! but then it would not be called ‘snail’

I made this as one of the robots i presented at the Montreal ToyCon 2009 and used film footage of it to practice making good movie with iMovie 09 … please stay tuned for upcoming DALEK video… cuz i filmed quite some footage of it to!!!
Meanwhile this video could be presented in a robotic classroom or NXT workshop as simple NXT-G programming exercise.
