That looks expensive.

@vd853 well the good thing was it took many years to get all the parts to get to this point.

I wish I could build one like that of my own.

That's awesome

I saw catattack998's comment on your previous video asking you to speed the video up, and I'm glad that you took his advice. The video is a lot more interesting when it's not going so slowly.

@HaydenStudios For years I have heard this from larger blogs like Engadget that featured my bots a few times. But being the old stubborn kind of person I tend to be, it took time for me to accept it :) The only issue I have is it kind of misrepresents the reality of it. This is why I still will have a real time as well in future, just will show the high speed version first, then for those that can handle the pain of watching paint dry will have that too.

Thank you all,

Doc

@222Doc Where did you get all the LEGO pieces plus the control module from, and for how much. And by control module I meant the brain where I can connect it to a computer.

[222Doc]

@mandunya Many years of collection, some parts from Lego Education, many from Bricklink. Not sure what control module, there is the Lego brick that can use Blue tooth to a pc or USB, but there is also a few Mindsensors Mmux's that control the many servos that Lego Nxt can only control 3. They com trough the brick via a sensor port via 12c. A basic NXT kit runs 250? But that wont even come close to what this uses in parts just the gears there are over 200 parts. and well over 2000 parts

Its a love/hate kind of relation.  I love building them, but programming is a work of what seems never ending tweeks, bugs, crashes etc. This project started about 3 years back. At times it has stalled do to lack of hardware in the Lego platform that only third party developers could make and that takes time too.

Doc

I`m no engineer crack at all, but man...There must have been hours and hours of observation and adjustment, you must have a very strong will to succeed...

So thanks for sharing your awesome work

Peace
