NXT concerto - part 5

"Mull of Kintyre" by Paul McCartney. I borrowed ten NXTs and synchronized them to imitate the bagpipes on the original song. The synchronizer is made out of two lamps and six light sensors.

@thesimplyspastic - Actually people say that I look like Chucky :-)

That's pretty awesome. looks expensive. I was going to go buy a Lego mindstorms set from toys R us but they wanted 300 bucks for one. I can get them for QUITE a bit cheaper online but still expensive. How do you program your Lego mindstorms? what language do you program your robots in or is it with a point a click software?

[organfairy]

@irisauser - I used the graphical programming language that came with the set.

@irisauser "point and click" makes it sound childish.

its actually quite advanced, but it is drag and drop.

like most programming, it works on either "do this, do this, then do this" OR can have "do this when this happens, if not, do this" sorta thing.

it can also carry numbers and add them and generate random ones, which can be inputted or outputted on the appliances.

so, for example "if Ultrasonic sensor is <20cm, A & B motors rotate clockwise for 3 rotations"

@irisauser If you are looking for a good text based programming language for these I would recommend using Robot C which is a application that already had everything for mindstorm and is C based.
