Keep us updated on this mate, just brought the same controller and building a large moving robot

In fact, I have made it. It doesn't look too good yet, but I'm sure we can make it turn out alright.

My main problem is the slip diff -- when one wheel halts the diff doesn't have enough torque to move the damn thing. Might see what i can do in regards to gearing it down.

Now all you have to do is get a huge Lego plate and build a city in top of it.

Nice helmets there guys!

[bioniclezelda]

how are you going to do the jaws? will they be part of the nxt?

any ways brilliant so far

an idea is to build a salthook to go with it

@bioniclezelda

I was comtemplating for a while on how to do the jaws, back when i was just on the main superstructure(gut), but moved on and didnt retouch on it again. i probably will if i have resources left over(motors etc). i worked it out so i should have a rcx motor left over to use o a converter cable.

great idea with the salt hook!

@jscoutabout

Heh, use your RCX for that, I'd say. I might even make it for you, if I have nothing else to do and you can convince me.
