Nxt2saurus Biped Walker Robot lego technic mindstorms

I decided to dust off my NeXTosaurus; it's now evolved to Nxt2saurus !
See what it's up to! ( Maybe I did it again... :-) )
Remember; this video is shot and edited in 10 minutes with my cellphone, like all my previous video's.
I only want to show this Biped's potential of avoiding objects using an extreme simple program.

After 2 days labor I think it will be good enough to demonstrate it the nxt years, doesn't it?
NeXTosaurus was made in spring 2006 and walked around quite fine till last Legoworld.
(I was a member of the MDP; NeXTosaurus was my second NXT-model back then.)
The main reason, to rebuild it totally, is our new carpet; it's comfortable soft but also absolute an unstable underground.
At first I tried to modify NeXtosaurus and reprogrammed it, but it wasn't to my satisfaction.
So now it's Next2saurus!
Though it looks the same, it's a complete new design, except for the idea behind it and it's head.

In case you're interested in Nxt2saurus' predecessors NeXTosaurus and PF-Raptor;
You should watch the following video's too:

@NeXTSTORMING Especially from you this a very valued compliment! Thanks!

( :-) It prevents me from killing the people who've seen the secrets of the NeXTosaurus at Legoworld 2010 (-: )

So you all may forget those secrets; Nxt2saurus is absolute different... ;-)

( I've managed to add a lot of insights learned from my PF-Raptor.

And that PF-Raptor was a spin-off of my NeXTosaures, which was actually a much better version of my RCX-Nordic.... Bla,Bla,Bla,... :-) )

Good job! Actually Great job! I wonder what visitors would say about a wandering robot?

[MennoGorter]

@Zblj1987 Thanks! My family seems to be used to the idea of my wanderers, tough I always warn them when I'm starting a test.

Sometimes I take a walker to my shop to test it there.

Especially kids love to see them. At least most kids; once a kid ran out of the shop. :-)

Another time an old lady persisted to buy one! ; in her elderly home she wasn't allowed to keep pets.

However most of the time my models are being kept in storage boxes; my wife hardly admits only a few of them in the living room.

Nice! Looks like he's searching for minifigures to eat for lunch...

[MennoGorter]

@arcanemettles :-)

That might be the right answer!

I was wondering all the time why it was wandering around. :-)

[MennoGorter]

@ToyGremlins O.k. Many thanks. I think it means something if a paleontologist likes my creation. At least I tried hard to let it look like a Dino. ;-)

( Although it doesn't have any teeth. :-) Nxt2saurus is meant to be a cuddly descendant of your Velociraptor. ;-) )

[MennoGorter]

@nxtboti Thanks! ;-)

[nxtboti]

NICE WALKER!HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[MennoGorter]

@4life4win It seems you do understand the problem with this type of underground.

When I'm building it's a nightmare to me when Lego pieces are falling on the floor;

you hardly find them in that hairy soft carpet.... ;-)
