MOC in progress: beer/soda from fridge serving robot
AlmightyArjen posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
I came up with the idea to build a robot that can get me a beer or soda from the fridge while I'm watching Die Hard... I'm building it completely from Lego Technic, mostly studded. I use my own designed electronics to control the motors, pneumatic valves and read out the sensors. It saves me hundreds of Euro's by not using the NXT platform ;) Next to that: the NXT platform is not as flexible as other programming platforms. I have been busy with it for a few months now and there were some problems to be solved so I've divided "the project" in smaller goals: 1. Get the rover over a bump in the living room (success!) There's a nasty bump between the kitchen and the living room. Since the robot is going to be well over 10kg, I had to find a way to get it over the bump. The solution was to use caterpillar tracks (the robot needs to be able to turn around its own axle) with on top of that studless beams for extra grip. I've put some filt on top of the beams so my wooden floor doesn't get damaged. Video 1: 2. Make the robot move sideward to be able to position itself (success!) Not being sure about the precision of the tracks, I need the robot to be able to move sideward for positioning itself in front of the fridge (to be able to grap the handle). I designed a pneumatic system with 8 pistons that push down 8 wheels, that lift up the robot just a bit. That way the robot can move sideward, which is impossible with caterpillar tracks. As you will see in video 3, the accuracy of the distance sensors is good enough that the robot doesn't need to move sideward. If the system isn't needed when the robot is completed, I could remove it. Video 2: 3. Indoor navigation: make the robot find its way to the frigde, couch and back (success!) Using 4 ultrasonic distance sensors and a digital compass, I make the robot navigate around the house. It works just perfect! Video 3: 4. Think of a way to make the robot open the fridge I'm working on this one now. This one is by far the hardest to complete. I have already a pneumatic system that can grab the handle and open the fridge a few centimeters by setteling itself against the fridge. As you know: sometimes the fridge door is a bit stuck and you need some force to open it. Grabbing the handle and just drive backward doesn't work because of the height of the robot. Right now I need to find a way to open the fridge door further and move the robot to the inside side of the door. This is tricky and I haven't figured it out yet. If you have any suggestions: let me know! Further things to do: 5. Make the robot able to grab a can of beer/soda 6. Make the robot do the whole thing: getting out of hibernation, getting a beer, bring it to the couch and go back to the hibernation spot 7. Design an Android app that communicates with the robot through Bluetooth so I can order a beer from the couch -
Hi everyone! Just saw this "introduce yourself topic" so here I am. I'm lurking around for a few months now and so now and then I post my own creations. I discovered that this is a really cool forum with loads of people who are even more enthousiastic about Lego than I am. For me, it all started in 1985 when I got the 7727 train for my birthday. I had never been so happy! Since then I got some more Lego sets and when I grew older I switched to Technic and bought the classic 8868 and the 8880 for myself. Now I combine Lego with electronics: I'm building all kinds of robots and recently I've built a huge automated train track (see my posts). I don't use the NXT platform; it's quite expensive and I like to develop all the electronics myself. Since a few months I'm building a robot that's going to fetch me a beer from the fridge but there are some obstacles to take. I'll open a topic about that soon. Cheers and let's build cool things!

A powerful AI enforcer created after the fall of Toa Oxell at the hands of his at-the-time psychotic partner Toa Ramnux. Blindvolt wants to prove he's more than a machine. His first emotionless action once put online was to put Ramnux out of his misery, which (now that he has developed a personality) is a decision that Blindvolt has come to completely regret. His name stems from the fact that justice is blind- and from his electric weaponry as well- though this title is merely poetic and Blindvolt himself is far from sightless. ^ CLICK THE IMAGE ABOVE TO VIEW THE MOCPAGES GALLERY . ^ This MOC was made in March 2013. Feedback is appreciated.

A mecha of "DieBuster - Punta al Top 2" Link to MOCpages http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/360710 This is a mecha that appears at the beginning of the series called in Italy DIEBUSTER – PUNTA AL TOP 2, is not very popular because isn’t the top mecha of the series,but I really liked for its simple forms and the strange body/head, I had tried some time ago to recreate it but I couldn’t finding the perfect proportions but a few days ago I came across a fantastic creation of “MacLane” this is his link http://www.flickr.co...s/27826007@N05/ and I decided to finish my mecha that had been closed for a long time! Thanks MacLane for your creations! This is the photo of the original mecha

Im building a mecha for the first time, and using LDD. I need oppinion about gravity effect or any oppinion on this design, since i dont have bricks to make real model (i have only LDD)

Got bored so here's a quick build. Based on the robots that appear in a Superman cartoon.

My technic autonomous robots
AlmightyArjen posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hi! Didn't know this forum, pretty awesome! I want to show you my technic robots that I've built so far. Since I'm from the early 80's, I never got used to building with studless (although I see some advantages) so forgive me: the robots are all studded ;) Next to that: I love electronics and I love to design it myself so I'm using the Arduino platform instead of NXT to control my robots. For me it's more flexible (and cheaper). Plant watering robot This was an idea of a colleaque of mine when I was telling that I was building an autonomous rover (see below). He said to me: why don't you build something useful like a robot that takes care of the plants while you're on holiday! And an idea was born... See below the result :) Autonomous rover which returns to a charging station when battery runs low This one was a real hassle to get it work. The rover itself wasn't the problem, but to make it park into the charging station was tricky. But I pulled it off by a coded IR signal which tells the rover when to turn and drive into the station. It's built in a Classic Space theme with cool lights. Oh, and in the end of the video, the rover takes care of some evil space pirates ;) Light chasing autonomous rover Predecessor of the rover above: driven by NXT motors it was a "real rover" with wheels. Unfortunately it wasn't agile enough to make it park into a charging station... -
Clam Clamper "Come quick Jensen! I've done it! The Clam Clamper is alive!" "D-Doctor?" "All these long nights toiling and tweaking, only to find it worked this whole time! All I had to do was give it the proper push: I disconnected it's feeding hose and it activated, reconnected it's hose, and identified me as a threat! Ho ho! Boy, was that exciting! Fortunately clams are not known for their long memories. What do you think, lad? Isn't it marvelous?"

Here is the latest from the engineers and mechanics of Central Machines! The XVI "Manticore" Class mech! The most powerful war machine in Central Machine's arsenal. It has two massive 6cm gatling cannons on either side of the two-person cockpit. A smaller machine gun is located in the undercarriage. This powerful machine carries six automaton infantry troops housed in the rear. A delightful play feature (see video) allows you to pull out all troops at a single time. Here's a side view. And an upward shot. And here is a link to the video of the play feature: http://www.flickr.co...in/photostream/

Puny humans, so safe and happy on your dry land...well no longer. For too long we have watched beneath the waves as you played, swam, fought and stole from our domain. You've brought this fate upon yourselves, for now you will know what it is like to have your domain invaded. We have developed new technologies (which is amazing considering our lack of thumbs, or hands altogether) and now we WALK ON LAND! Run if you must, but you cannot escape The Rise. We will find you. We will kill you. And WE, we will flush YOU down the toilets from now on!

With a clank and a hiss, the Gremlin is ready for action! The smallest mounted unit in the Central Machine's arsenal, The Gremlin is a versatile little mech that works as scout, infantry, and artillery. During the Blackblood Wars Central Machines produced over 65,000 Gremlins making the most produced mech to date. I based this MOC using the skeleton of Exo-Force 7711. http://www.bricklink...em.asp?S=7711-1 Here is an open-cockpit photo.
