Hop-Along Cassidy

Shadyman — Sun, 01 Oct 2006 21:29:05 -0700

Components Used:
2 Motors
1 Touch Sensor (Mounted on RCX for Remote, Wired Control)

Required Parts:
RIS 1.0
Electrical Connector Plate (White, Comes With 9V Motor Set)

Description:
Moves from one end of the string to another. When it gets there, the touch sensor hits the wall, (Or whatever is used to hang it) and it reverses directions.

Well... What can I say? This is probably (I have yet to be proven wrong) - the LEGO Mindstorms' Community's First One-Legged Walker, and both simple and complex at the same time.

Super Bugbot

Shadyman — Sun, 01 Oct 2006 21:02:20 -0700

Components Used:
2 Motors
2 Touch Sensors

Required Parts:
RIS 1.0

Description:
In essence, this is Dave Baum's BugBot, (No copyright infringement intended). I added an extra set of antennae (To be able to sense further up, so it wouldn't get stuck under the bottom of a chair, counter, etc). I also made the speed faster in the program so it can run around the room a little more efficiently.
