Very cool device. I like how you implemented the music box roller.

Thanks Ted. Actually this robot does not use NXT/Mindstorms at all. I used an Arduino for the control unit as it is a lot cheaper than NXT. Also it allows me to use WiFi, which has a lot more range than bluetooth. The 3D renders are indeed done with Google Sketchup.

Hey Coen nice project you got there. If your mammoth tank can handle some more weight you could consider using some rechargeble lead-acid batteries. I think they are relatively cheap and they would spare you the hassle of changing all batteries in each batterypack. Downside is that they are quite heavy.

Hello Eurobricks. My name is Bas and I'm a 24 year old ICT student from the Netherlands. I'd like to share my latest project with you. It's a WiFi controlled Lego robot with an onboard camera. With it I can drive around in my house (or any other place with WiFi) from anywhere on the world while sitting behind my laptop. It uses an Arduino with a WiFi shield to translate the WiFi signal to the Power Functions IR protocol. A stripped wireless IP camera takes care of the video stream.
