The original Dark Side Developer Kit set (9754) came with three different booklets (1, 2, 3) with instructions to build a Droid Starfighter, a Destroyer Droid (aka Droideka), and an AT-AT. Additionally, they had pictures of the alternative builds. Among these, you could find the Armored Assault Tank (or AAT for short). I always liked this tank. I think it looked amazing, especially in Episode I’s Battle of Naboo. Thus, I was very excited to back-engineer the construction of this model. Fortunately, the booklet contained quite a few images, making the recreation a bit easier. I find the design of the build very interesting and clever: with only one motor, the AAT can move and make the turret look for a target. Overall, I am very happy with the results. I wanted other people could enjoy building this model as much as I did. You can find the actual instructions for it here.

Whoops, my bad. Moved some files and forgot to update it. Thanks for letting me know 😉

I had the same issue than Biermann. I was trying to replicate Charlie's "Drum solo" using (the vanilla version of) MicroPython, in which the arm motors move simultaneously, but asynchronously. After breaking my head and quite some Googling, I came across this thread. Maybe there is a better, simple, and/or cleaner solution for my problem. However, I am very happy with how @David Lechner's works. Thank you! If you are curious, you can find my script here.

That's interesting, I didn't know that. Originally, I was doing this as a learning exercise (and hopefully to make it useful to other people starting with (Micro)Python). Nevertheless, I might look into this in the future. Thanks!

I'm currently working on implementing all the 51515 base projects in Python. You can find the code in my GitHub repository. It is work in progress and not all of them are done (far from it - just started with Charlie). However, I plan to keep working on them on my free time. Feel free to take a look around. Feedback is always welcome!
