HTWay-BT.wmv

This is the Bluetooth edition of the HTWay. This model can be built from either a LEGO Mindstorms 1.0 or 2.0 set though the program is currently only available as a NXT-G 2.0 version. The controller also requires a LEGO Mindstorms set and is also for NXT-G 2.0.

Building instructions and programs can be downloaded from www.hitechnic.com

Surely it would be better to mount the gyro under the NXT brick, say on the axis of the wheels, it would still be able to detect the bots rotation, and would protect the gyro from impact damage on falling. Many mems devices are sensitive to impact.

@Parax77 The robot design uses small rubber bumpers on both front and back to soften any impact from falling. My experience is that the NXT itself is more sensitive than the sensor. The sensor itself is required for LEGO certification to survive a "drop" test that is worse than any possible HTWay fall.

Nice! but where did you get the box in the backgrund?

[hitechnic]

@MyJohnmartin I got those at a local hardware store. Not sure if the same exact system is still available but take a look at Home Depot online and look for "Stack-On 39-Compartment Storage Cabinet". This looks very similar to what I am using.

@tmufrct3  Please contact HiTechnic support using the Support link on the HiTechnic site. Try to provide some more details on what it is doing before it falls.
