Overlap Kit Robot Designs

[JimKelly]

Post a photo and a brief (5-6 sentence) description of a robot that uses ONLY the parts seen in the Overlap Image posted at http://thenxtstep.blogspot.com/2009/11/laurens-overlap-poster.html

I'll pick one random person on November 30 from all submissions and send that person a signed copy of LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT 2.0: The King's Treasure that's due out at the end of November. 

Please do not email me your submissions - post them here.

Is it allowed to be remote controlled with the pc?

This robot reminds me of the striker on a soccer team.  When someone passes him a ball, he’ll kick it into the goal.  The basic design uses one motor, one Touch sensor, two Technic angular wheels, and the small and large double conical wheels plus a few additional structural components from the NXT 1 and 2 overlap parts list.  The program is a simple Switch block inside a Loop block to spin the motor at full power when the Touch sensor is pressed.

When I looked at the overlap image I realized that there weren’t tyres, so it could be difficult to build a robot with wheels. The solution? Legs, two legs.  And what to do with two legs, one US sensor and one touch sensor? A robot that can move on the table and doesn’t fall down through the edge. I used the touch sensor to calibrate the position of the US sensor.

Here you can see the video.

This is my entry tothe Overlap Kit Robot Designs challenge. I wanted to kind of relate my robot to the book, so I built a robot that can go into a small hole and grab sompthing. Wether it be a emerald or a chunk of dirt this robot will grabe it. I tried my best to come up with sompthing without tires so I came up with some claws that move it. Hope you like it.
