• Detect an extended range of colors
• Make LEGO Robots that can sort LEGO bricks
• Detect more than 17 colors and shades
• HiTechnic – the only complete range of LEGO Certified NXT sensors ensuring safety and quality

Add a spectrum of color to your models with the new and updated HiTechnic Color Sensor (Version 2). Detect an extended range of more than 15 target colors and program your NXT robot to react to each color. Build a color sorter to sort LEGO bricks or a line follower that will detect different color lines and surface colors. The HiTechnic Color Sensor is “tuned” to standard LEGO colors. When positioned over a surface, the Color Sensor will return a numeric value identifying the target color. T

NXTway with a gyro sensor powered by nxtOSEK. lejos-osek.sourceforge.net NXTway-GS Simulation with MATLAB/Simulink : www.youtube.com You can download NXTway-GS Simulink models and documents describe the controller algorithm at www.mathworks.com

This is a direct copy of Phillippe Hurbain’s NXTWay which imitates a Segway using the NXT. This is a very plucky version that always tries to move forward. Links and details at www.robotthoughts.com

Future possible improvements:
- Smaller backlash from hardware
- Automatic backlash calibration
- More intelligent driving algorythm
- Continuous sampling, and path adaptation
- Lost line situation handling

This chapter introduces building and programming instructions for a self parking car with a gearing system that allows steering and driving with the front wheels.

The creative minds behind the NXT Step blog (thenxtstep.com) are back with a brand new collection of innovative robots. LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT One Kit Wonders is packed with building and programming instructions for ten exciting robots. The book dives headfirst into the creative thrill of robot-building with models like Grabbot, a robot that finds, grabs, lifts, and moves objects autonomously; Dragster, a super-fast drag racing vehicle; and The Hand, a simple robotic replacement hand to protect you from those dangerous cleanup jobs, like picking up your brother’s dirty gym socks. To further fire your imagination, you’ll also learn how to build a self-parking car model, an M&M sorter, a punchcard reading robot, a bike, and a realistic BobCat.

Step by step building instructions make it simple to construct even the most complex models while the detailed programming instructions teach you how a NXT program really works. All of the models in the book can be built with just the basic NXT Retail kit; there are no extra parts to locate or buy.

Armed with the knowledge you gain from this book, you’ll be inventing your own amazing creations in no time. LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT One Kit Wonders is perfect for readers who have enjoyed the other books in the No Starch LEGO series as well as for builders who want to get starting creating right away. Appropriate for kids (10+), parents, educators, and LEGO fans of all ages.
