NXT Clamp-N-Lift - new gripper design allows dual action

[RoboTeun]

heey, How did you made the gripper, cause i'm interested in robotics :) thank you and very nice vid

[LimitlessIngenuity]

nxtasy.org forums are no longer active. I cannot find info on this design!

[LimitlessIngenuity]

Design plans? I need the design of the lifter ASAP!

@tingeypa

it is basicly grabbing all the way and since the motor spins through the arm, it will lift when the claw can't move inwards anymore.

Am I right?

[Drance1988]

good!!!what is the marerial needed to built it?And how to built it???

[manalalkhdour]

NICE ONE

NXT has bluetooth so you can use a bluetooth game controller for this.

[LordDecapo]

dude, xbox doesnt run bluetooth.. its a mod

[tingeypa]

controller to PC, PC to NXT. easy.

[Rebuker92]

@LordDecapo your'e an idiot. 360 controllers work with WIRELESS. BLUETOOTH. TECHNOLOGY.

how did it work with xbox 360 controller

[srjoecool]

how did you get it to work with the xbox controller?

Excellent design. Can provide me a picture or any detail for building the front motor that catches and raises. it is a brilliant design.

[hille32]

no..

[miglspam]

Amazing. How does it "know" when to switch from gripping to lifting?

[Mikegocrazy]

Watch the action carefully - once the claw is closed the gears that move it jam, so the motor is just turning the whole thing.

awesome..excellent job. can you give me the picture of the clamp assembly. i want to try.

[shipwreckjnr]

sweet i have an nxt to!

[deahtcythe01]

i want study it A.I robotic :)

How did you program the 360 controller? Do you use microsoft studios?

[tingeypa]

I wrote a program called bricstick. It makes it easy to control robots like this. Sometime soon I'll make this available for others to use.

[cheok95]

how did u make the gripper so awsome

[LakeviewSoccerNum20]

@tingeypa Very Nice. I'm a senior and I'm working with the nxt robots right now. and I have to say, You came up with something very clever. Best I can do is put 2 touch sensors and 1 ultra sonic sensor on it so it continuously can avoid obsticals. Let me know where "brickstick" is available at please.

[airkraft13]

Very good creation. Have you got any pictures of this on nxtlog? or any more information on the mechanics other than the .ldd?

Could i also post this to my blog, and two others i contribute to?

Yours, Airkraft

P.s. great choice of music too!

[tingeypa]

I don't have any other pictures on NXTLog. I will see if I can get something up there. I haven't made any other information on the mechanics. You are welcome to post the LDD & link to the video on blogs.

what material needed to make it and how to make it
