NXT Legway, very stable

[zoojoo717]

its wanking :P



[someonethehedgehog]

eww. it looks 'orrible' but it is pretty cool.

[michalsol]

trzęsie się jak galareta-faktycznie stabilny...

[MrCheesypuf]

u shud get a gyro sensor.............this looks kinda scary

[ElMirc]

I don't know exactly how this works, since I don't have a lego mindstorm, but try setting the delta distance a little higher, so it will not wobble so much.

Something like Torque=(desired_distance - current_distance) + 1/3*delta(current_distance)

Also, try playing with the exponent, it's a trial and error I guess.

Sorry, I'm sure you know more than me about robotics, since I never programmed a robot, but I was just trying to help.

[xavierduke]

it's called a segway

[NGIstudios]

@xavierduke its a pun stupid

lego-segway

[zaiux]

Its so stable it could surf with the alien!

[mindystorm]

@SuperZeebs very true

[mindystorm]

nxt LEGWAY !!!!!!!??????

[sandhawkus40k]

real kool

[bobobano]

Well done, next challenge, do it without the light sensor (hint, accelerometer)

[phoebelala]

HA HA, you clown! (hint don't talk bullshit)

This is lego you fool!

[bobobano]

actually they do sell accelerometers for lego.

[lievenvv]

beautiful man!!

@bobobano: don't think that will work... A G-sensor, maybe.

[bobobano]

@lievenv

A G-Sensor is an Accelerometer

[lievenvv]

there's a difference between sensors that measure the angle of gravity and sensors that measure acceleration, right?

I thinks the latter would be pretty much useless for the Legway...

[bobobano]

accelerometers do measure the angle of gravity

200 years in the future,

[Ryymin2]

add a gyroscope and that should end the wobbling.

[tucense]

if you put wieght on one side would it roll one direction to compensate? oh even used that idea to control its ability to move back and fourth on 2 wheels

[QuaziGNRLNose]

haha unfitting music

[tuollaff]

Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien

yeh

[johnniejpx]

it jerks due to da backlash in da geared motors.....

[mars22581]

Don't you understand... You're giveing them the tools to kill us all! lol

[zeframcoch]

increase the damping and decrease the derivative gain in ur controller

[staticfive]

You should consider lowering the scan frequency so you don't get that jerkiness

[MattMagieMania]

now make a unicycle XD

[vshmango1]

That would need a Gyroscopic sensor in the X and Y direction, and a wheel that can rotate. It would be totally sweet xD

[Samzsite]

Put two motors on either side of the wheel, making them go in both directions. Attach the gyrosensor to the motor. Although, the nxt brick would weigh it down alot.

[dancerocker343]

it over corrects itself

[mannepenis]

how do jou program it?

[Assaultmachin3]

If u mean it what i think, this 'guy' are programmed it on computer (using some kind of usb connect)

[imavampireblah]

oh yeah surfin with the alien baby

[fredarc]

Impressive, thanks for sharing...can this be built with the standard kit?

[krazyfrenchpilot]

i think it can- at least with the kits that we have at our school

[colaelgen]

u shuld be filming at the 19`th not at the 18`th the 19`th is the best

[viliussmproductions]

wht is he doing?

[edelwood]

Combined with the music, I find this hilarious. Maybe I'm just simple. Good work, though. (:

[Sebbl3]

if you try to reduce the motor speed it would be more stable i think ;-)

[IkkFedt]

It wouldn't react as fast. So i don't think it would work :)

[holyhell5050]

Asides the long extensions for the sensors I'm impressed.

[thaGuardians]

Song is Surfing with the Alien by Joe Satriani. It's a fun song on Guitar Hero 3's downloadable content.

[HowlingMonkeys]

Ugh. Segaway is better. Sorry.

[Jazaaam]

its legway (lego)way.

[krazyfrenchpilot]

segway is 20x more expensive

[runwax]

yeah ! Lego and satriani ! perfect ;-)

[XBillums]

Next step is to make it move.

[MulleDK13]

It's not "very stable"

Search: segway nxt bluetooth controlled

[xboxxbox14]

thats the song on nascar for n64

[Belkiii88]

Is it actually on Nascar for N64? Cuz it's a song by Joe Satriani.

[nordemoniac]

yeah...a masturbating robot..

[Blueboyvideo]

you could always buyed a gyro sensor instead.

[sulomo]

what happens if you push it?

[schuelaw]

It's pretty stable. As long as you don't push too hard it will stay up.

[frozzins]

But can you program it to drive ex. turn right??

[Frog2Dude]

whats the code you used? Did you make it?

[tylermindstormlover]

love it! 5 stars ! I do have something to ask, I know there was a light sensor in the front but, I did not see a light sensor in the back! What was on the back? Im getting a mindstorm nxt for my birthday =-) I can't wait! (lol) umm.... nice, can you send me a video of how you made it and voice to the video? Thank you and when i get mindstorm i will try to make a better legway than that =-) (ill try) lol

[CuppaTea101]

my gues is that its just for balance.

[schuelaw]

I hope you got your mindstorm and you are enjoying it. On the back side was the touch sensor. It wasn't used for anything just as a counterweight to the light sensor in the front.
