How to get a Robot to set off fireworks using LEGO NXT

[ishup2008]

oh wow who doesnt know this old song?

[simonrichards150]

1:50 AAAAAAHHHHHH!

[AwesomeLegoMaster]

r u sure sparks wont fly onto it and set it on fire???

[Chiliarcher]

fireworks and robots, you know my favourites :D

Well done!

[myspacecomldog6]

We are using these robots in our robotics class!

This is awesome!

[Feuerwehrler95]

COOL!!!

[jacester1880]

hmm evanscence i thought it was cryoshell ok. Nice robot

[djfrogfm]

love the music, firestarter is confusing, omen is great!!! and that is a great idea, i would just be worried if the flame bot blown in another direction and set the nxt on fire

[chimeran3]

This is a lot like what the army uses to defuse bombs. Very cool!

[SuperDisbelief]

Safety instructions: Always ignite the fireworks using a robot and make sure to have plenty of water available in the case of emergency, rather more than 5000 liters.

[saxdude87]

just add a protecter wall of "nxt bricks" and it will b fine

[MegaRad666]

is the $250 really worth it, though?

[talesrof]

o recado disendo qual é a musica é pq ele usou a musica q ja tem no youtube é??

"quem brinca com fogo acaba se queimando!"

[zombek91]

1:48 coś sie wywróciło

[traptindahhrkness]

thats just going to melt the lego mindstorm peices X D

[GamersPath]

its Evanescence - bring me to life

[SnaipaSpottage]

wake me up inside

[coooltms]

can u tell me the name of this video's song ?

[lowmax64]

You would be better off using a lighter taped to a stick if you have to adjust it by hand anyways.

[FalingHamProductions]

no more getting burnt by the fuze☺

[BlueToothKiwi]

You are right, vladdyboy10. It is Evanescence.

I originally had Firestarter by The Prodigy. YouTube asked me to remove the backing music. So I replaced the audio. The downside is you also lost all the sound from the original video - including the fireworks noise, the laughter and the atmosphere. I also hate the way the song abruptly ends - but I cant edit it any more as I dont have the original any more.

[OLBproductions]

It look like the sensor did get fire one it.

[plow148]

Why would u risk blowing up ur NXT but still a good idea

[GuiLingKwek]

i agree lol. the NXT should be equipped with the ability to hide itself after igniting.

[willboy334]

yeah won't you have to allign it straight so it will light. If not, you would have to move the robot close, then grab it, and run.

[cobratank2008]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yuribrac]

haha! that's just great :D

[Transam941]

This is awesome, although I wouldn't let it run loose in my house.

[doomgiver107]

*gives applaudes for amazing work*

[TheHackersGambit]

Dude the rack gear and those wheels are not in the kit

[Cyberdemonslayer]

the song is from doom3 .when you fight the final boss,you will hear this song

[BlueToothKiwi]

The song: 'Firestarter'.

The band: 'The Prodigy'.

[DarknessOfInternet]

This song is in Need for speed undercover

[onkelaiv]

the music....ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

[SeanBobFilms]

awsome robot, I would never put it that close. haha great job

[redtyrant17]

sweet lols

[xhellscrestx]

very cool indeed.

isnt it risky cus the lego materials might melt?

[kamber56]

where do u get the riget long parts what makes the arm go down and up

[BlueToothKiwi]

They are called Rack gears. You get them with TECHNIC models with Rack & Pinion steering. Or the telecopic part of cranes.

[Dirtboy101]

I would love to "Accidentally" put that in Mrs. Mizzells Class...

[chriswillb]

howdya build da lighter into it?

[GlitchManOmega]

lol Guy Fawkes

[sideshow45]

[Biofreak66]

That is amazing!!!

[NJfilms08]

ya one problem: lol what if it dosen't get away in time?

[javlin100]

[phil6x]

[Kramit48]

[WARPIG3989]

ide be to scad to put my lego

RCX to that but Dam that is cool

[Pie1995]

I do think this is a nice idia, but it really might damage your nxt robot and then that would be just a weaste of 300$ which dont just lye on the street.

[Benjamin72227]

actualy........

[limabean20]

they dont? (looks at 300$)

[bazmarc]

i love it when we find a real use for our little NXT,s -- this is the best and it save life !-- thanks for taking the time to post it here

[kra2ymichael]

Won't the nxt catch on fire

[jaxxrr]

nice but.. what actually happend at 1:50 :)))

[142Spartan]

Cool video, :)! lol

[evilmasterminds]

I need instructions on how to duplicate that disign

[hicat1595]

wuoldnt the robot get dammaged?

[racerx007666]

i checked the lego site,for light sensors nxt computer etc and motors. i think you spent a good 250euro?.is that a good guess?

cool stuff though.5/5*

[Scooter2020259725]

fucking epic

this way i wouldn't have to risk my neck setting off 7 artillery shells at the same time :P

(i actually did that, and almost didn't escape in time)

[OTKK]

at 1:45 the thing is falling

[funnypeople2]

legal for people to set fireworks of but the law says nothing about robots setting them off

[BlueToothKiwi]

I cant remember (I have taken the robot apart) but you know what? You can plug the sensors in any of the four sensor ports (and worry about wich sensor is plugged into which port when it comes to programming it from NXT-G).

[pjokk18]

In norway next year, its ilegal to send up rockets and stuff...:( but nice video, maybe they can take over our job, then we dont get hurt! :D

[longy221]

We are still aloved to send up batterys tough.

[squeekme]

haha thats wicked

[bradcb212]

Cool idea, but uhm...wind?

[BlueToothKiwi]

The day we filmed it, it was windy and raining but it it still worked fine.

[bra888]

Hey

Aren't you worried that you'll burn, melt, or deform your LEGO?

Please do tell if it does.

[BlueToothKiwi]

Yeah - but I rather have a melted LEGO than one of children loosing limb.

[bra888]

I see. Good point.

[222Doc]

firworks and mindstorms great combo. just wish they still sold fireworks in our state. you know last year i did a lego

=estes rockets thats a hoot too.

[BlueToothKiwi]

Yes - I am a great fan of your robots 222Doc - especially the way you use lots of motors and turntables.

And regarding sale of fireworks - here in New Zealand it is a hotly discussed topic at the moment with children / public getting injured - mainly during the act of igniting it.

[222Doc]

thx i am as well of your great stuff matter of fact i am thinking on getting the ir to pf that you showed on your bulldozer mode. i have the bulldozer but have yet to even use it. other than for parts.

regarding fireworks, it is always the few that ruin it for the many. top that off with law suits.

regards,

doc
