DLuders Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 On the website http://www.tau.ac.il/~stoledo/lego/Spitter/#Midtskog , Sivan Toledo built a "food-spitting" Lego Mindstorms NXT robot. He wrote, "This hungry little fellow is a picky eater. He is very hungry. If you don't feed him often, he asks for food. Clearly, the most appropriate food for him is paper pellets. But whenever I feed him, he objects and spits it out. "If you are looking for a bot with a strong personality, you have found your match....It detects the white [paper food] pellets using the light sensor....Once it sees a pellet in its mouth, it starts spinning the wheels, waits for them to spin fast, and then opens his throat. The pellet falls into the spinning wheels and gets thrown out." He has a made an excellent PDF Building Instructionsfor the "Spitter" available for download (21 MB, 231 pages) PLUS the NXC Program that the Spitter runs. Quote
