Our first attempt at creating an autonomous robot for the MoonBots Challenge.

The robot is controlled by one black NXT and six motors. This autonomous robot is designed to rove around a crater of the moon without avoiding hitting the edges and take photos. More about Google Lunar X PRIZE LEGO® MINDSTORMS® challenge can be found here:

    Dino_Martino (NXTlog nickname...)

  • Not sure - but here are the essential pieces you need:

    - 1 x NXT 1 kit

    - 4 x small PF motors

    - 4 extra knob gears (you get 4 with the NXT1 kit)

    - 4 extra NXT wheels (you get 4 with the NXT1 kit)

    - 3 extra Turntable gears (you get 1 with the NXT1 kit)

    - 1 extra 40 tooth gears (you get 1 with the NXT1 kit)

    - 1 x 8528 NXT Converter Cable + 8886 PF cable (for connecting 4 PF motors to one NXT port)

    ( though I used black NXT and beams and connectors purely for the look)

  • love your moon surface,,, water on the moon,,, hummm lol

    Cool holo type design!

  • LOL. OK... We had to improvise.

    One of the actual tasks in the original Google Lunar X PRIZE is discovering water ice - so you never know - may be there is water on the moon - though it will be frozen

see all
