How to get a Robot to set off fireworks using LEGO NXT
Loading...
Uploaded by BlueToothKiwi on Nov 6, 2007
Using a LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT, this video shows how to put up a safe fireworks show for the whole family.
How this robot can help people?
-------------------------------
There has been a lot of concern lately about fireworks maiming and injuring the person igniting it and a few cases of fatalities.
This autonomous NXT robot will light multiple fireworks in a sequence - while the family sits back and watch the display!!
It uses a MINDSTORMS NXT, two light sensors (one for navigation and other to detect a lighted fuse) and an Ultrasonic detector (to adjust the torch arm height depending on the height of the fireworks fuse wire. It uses three motors - two for motion and and the third for the torch arm elvator.

Hey
Aren't you worried that you'll burn, melt, or deform your LEGO?
Please do tell if it does.

Safety instructions: Always ignite the fireworks using a robot and make sure to have plenty of water available in the case of emergency, rather more than 5000 liters.

You are right, vladdyboy10. It is Evanescence.
I originally had Firestarter by The Prodigy. YouTube asked me to remove the backing music. So I replaced the audio. The downside is you also lost all the sound from the original video - including the fireworks noise, the laughter and the atmosphere. I also hate the way the song abruptly ends - but I cant edit it any more as I dont have the original any more.

They are called Rack gears. You get them with TECHNIC models with Rack & Pinion steering. Or the telecopic part of cranes.
