Bartender - a soda-fetching NXT robot

This robot - made by me (Johan) and my classmate Henrik - is designed to drive to a special soda-station, grab the soda and transport it to a pre-set location.
It's 100% controlled remotely by a computer application via bluetooth. Here on the video it follows a list of commands (Drive 4 sec 300º , Look for soda , etc). It can also be controlled directly with the keyboard and record/play back your driving.

It was made in a class-project at Mid Sweden University

Questions? Got any own robot projects?

Yes, the target audience for this bot is lazy and/or nerdy people :)

Not that he's for sale though..

what you could do is get a rechargeable battery pack and 2 nxts. then have the base hooked up to the wall so it automatically keeps charging and then have the base use the light sensore and send out a strobe which the bartender finds and goes and gets. a little bit more complicated but would be a bit more acurate and quick. also make the base have a gravity fed drink loader in it so when 1 is taken another takes its place.

Nice, I'll need to buy an NXT some time.

@DylanbrownRoblox its really great for quick-build projects. the other day i needed a prototype for a pole-climbing robot for my robotics team at school. I got it done in an hour and a half.

@DylanbrownRoblox Building stuff is as easy as Lego. Programming it is also easy - it's like Lego but with bricks of logic instead of plastic. One brick for "Drive", another brick for "Button got pushed" and so on. Also easy to remote control via a mobile phone.

Later on when you want to have full control with a powerful programming language, you can program it using Java instead. It doesn't cost anything to do so. I hope you find it as interesting as I did.
