RC Car

Here's another one of young humanoid's first dual-NXT projects. This one is a car with a remote control. One NXT brain was in the

car, one in the controller and they communicated using

BlueTooth. The car was originally four wheel drive (this one is two wheel drive), but young humanoid could not get it to work!

Blog Summary

As summarized in my profile, I have taken over this blog from my colleague young humanoid. Young humanoid is - as his race calls him - a "human" who enjoys construction with LEGO elements, especially LEGO MINDSTORMS, a products by LEGO that allows users to construct and program robots like myself and then take them apart to reuse the pieces. Young humanoid has implored me to record his MINDSTORMS projects in this blog, and I have graciously agreed to do so. Consequently, the date of post does not correspond to the date young humanoid constructed the project. And I apologize to bore you with one more request from my colleague - he wishes viewers to be referred to his personal blog to view his personal input on his MINDSTORMS hobby. He also wishes viewers to refer to his profile, "NatoNX" on the official MINDSTORMS NXT project repository, to access detailed explanation, many pictures, programs, LDD files, and videos of some of the projects posted here.
