Thanks mate, hope you been well! Cheers, I hope to add a few things to make it even better, remote control via a mobile phone, lights, better seat, maybe even parking sensors lol. I am really chuffed with the feedback!!

Hello all So here is a prototype of my latest project, the LEGO Wheelchair which is capable of moving a 90KG person around a room using just LEGO Mindstorms, LEGO Technic and Rotacaster multi-directional wheels. This is still a prototype and under constant development however I really wanted to let people see what I have been up to. My wife giving version 0.8 a test drive. Me having an initial go on version 0.5. The lastest version uses 6 LEGO Mindstorms NXT’s for moving and 1 NXT(master) for controling the direction. Each of the driving NXT’s has 2 NXT motors attached to it and 2 touch sensors used to control direction. The master NXT has 4 touch sensors connected (forward, back, left and right) and 2 motors to switch on the drive touch sensors. For more info please check Burf.org.uk

Thanks guys, some good ideas!

It was built by http://bright-bricks.com who are both friends that live near me. They also did the 10m tall Xmas tree

Thats looks good to me.

Does anyone have some good ideas, instructions or anything else to make a very very very large telescopic beam. I want something 6 foot long + that shrinks down 2 foot? I know one of the large technic models had a telescopic beam but I always remember it not working that well.

Check out http://youtube.com/burf2000 if you like large robots :) (self promotion)

I have used Bluetooth between NXT's using robotC if that helps!

Very good video!

I would love to see how you built the sequencer!

I have zoo many robots planned but running out of space in the house I already have George, Wheeler, Rota (needs rebuilding), Theo Walker, NXT Arm and a half finish giant Pneumatic walker + T1 lol

Thanks for posting the info It is really nice to see another giant robot builder. Maybe in the future we can exchange some idea's. I plan to make a studless version of George after my T1 robot.

I really need to build one of these!

Some brilliant ideas! Glad the question was asked!

Very nice!

That is a very interesting little insect, very different

Very nice work. Some very nice idea's, is there a video of it working yet, does the shoulders work? Is it me or does it has 2 different hands? I now have enough studdless to actually start building a large robot!

Thanks, I think this will be one of the first sets ever that I will instantly go out and buy. NO joke, I usually wait for deals or see if the price goes down, but nope, this is being brought straight away!

Thanks for posting this, I sooo can't wait to get some of these motors, when is the set released?

Dodge Challenger :) Or a Audi TT RS

For controlling it? I wrote my own.

Good question mate, I have never really had many batteries go flat until recently when I was working on T1 I am sure if you put 2 NXT motors under heavy strain the NXT thinks the batteries are flat lol

I think it would work, do you want me to investigate

I love Pneumatic engines!
