WALL-E 5.1 Transform. Play. Awesome.

After many month of upgrade 5.1 is paying off... sensor to allow kids to interact with wall-e and an improved State Machine NXT-G program allows a single NXT remote control the 6 NXTs inside wall-e (3 via BT linked to 3 via RS485)

Soon i will tell you where he is heading next....

(the location was WRO in Abu-Dhabi from Nov 16 - 20th 2011)

Amazing!!! How long did it take you to build? And are all the pieces LEGO or did you use some non LEGO parts?

[bazmarc]

@nxtstep101 -- over the course of 1 year, only LEGO parts and only electronic from Mindstorms (i.e. no third party stuff) -- 6 NXT , 17 Motors, 3 US, 7 Touch etc etc + 1 NXT 2 Motors and 4 Touch for the remote !! THANK you for your comment.
