NXT transformer/cyber war (whatever you call it) robot

[SNIPE]

hi, i just finished making a robot, it was originally meant to just crawl along on the three motors and there was no detectible wheel

when i got into it a bit more i made it stronger and added weapons/sensors and armor

i started building this robot at around 2:45PM

the features are:

when the robot is in the standing up position:

can move forward or backwards , can transform into the other position by using the motors

the robot is controlled by RF wireless communication (IR or BT)

the colour sensor is supposed to be a missile tracker, the touch sensor is meant to be a altomiter and a plasma ray (the if the wheel is attached then that is meant to split the beam into 8 weaker beams.

the ultrasonic sensor is a radar and keeps track of the other enemy and of the earth around it., the two yellow balls in the storage bricks are means to be remote controlled explosives (C4).

the motor that has the grey striped blade can also be used as a ram, or since it pivots, a shield for missiles and other things.

when in the low down position:

all weapons/sensors are still functional like in the upright model.

it can move using the wheel or just the motors/legs

i am trying to add each of these links to an album where each actual photo is on one page, then i can post the link of that page here.

i did not put each image on here because that takes up even more space. (dont know if thats what pepole would want).

I love the idea of a NXT Transformer Bot! Was thinking of building one myself. Great work. Is there any chance you can post a link to a video? I would love to see how it works for real.

sure, i will make one asap

i will have to move each motor by hand however because i don't have any batteries or a program for it to run,

Only if it's not too much trouble. I was under the impression you had a functional setup

[SNIPE]

i have the video, i wll upload it ASAP

it will be better in a way with motors because they can hold up some of the weight when it is balancing however the wires stop it from pivoting as much.

here they are:

here they are:

part 1

part 2

you may need to refresh the page until you see the video

i will probably put an LXF file up with instructions and put up the C code soon.

Thanks. Looks nice!!

Does remind me a little bit of this lego Transformer, which I think is pretty awesome (partially because it's simplicity).
