A special MOC...

Lately I haven't been building a whole lot, but I decided I want to build something that may get noticed!

This robot is by a guy who does a LOT of RCX robots and projects!  You can see more robots that he made at his website.

This robot is made by NeXTSTORM  who also builds some AMAZING robots!  His wheel base turns MUCH faster than mine.  It also looks very cool :-).  You can see more of his awesome MOC's at his website.

OK, now that I've shown you some background info, let's move onto my creation spec's

• 4 wheels


• 4 small turntables


• about 400 parts


• Uses the HiTechnicTouch Multiplexer for the four touch sensors attached


• 1 NXT


• 3 NXT Motors

OK, now for some.......PIC'S!

I don't have a video (YET!), but one will come soon.

I have other ideas to make it better. One of the cons of this MOC: when the wheels spin, the robot goes off-center a bit (because of the rubber tires). So, I'm going to get a total of 4 3L differentials and put those in each wheel. Another idea is to add an all-around "touch sensor".

I also have a simple program that makes it go forward until ANY of the touch sensors are press, backs up, turns, and loops. I wrote it in NXC :D
