Teach your robot new tricks! With this projects-based approach you can program your Mindstorms NXT robot to solve a maze, build a house, run an obstacle course, and many other activities.
Periodic Posts about Lego (TM) Mindstorms and NXT. September 17, 2006 NXT Tribot Grabber. I went on to the next Getting Started step for the NXT tonight - the Grabber for the Tribot. Builder is fairly straightforward, and the programming is to at this point. But it didn't work. It tried to grab, but it couldn't hold the big blue ball. When the program has been compiled, it is read and executed by the microcontrollers in the NXT brick. Further, the LEGO Mindstorms kit contains the parts and directions for building the following four different types of robots: A vehicle called as Tribot; a machine called as RoboArm; an animal called as Spike the scorpion; a humanoid Alpha Rex.
Along the way you will learn the basics of programming structures and techniques using NXT-G and Microsoft VPL.For hobbyists, and students working on robot projects, Bishop provides the background and tools to program your robot for tasks that go beyond the simple routines provided with the robot kit. The programs range in complexity from simple contact avoidance and path following, to programs generating some degree of artificial intelligenceShow more. Teach your robot new tricks!
