Dune Buggy

This was supposed to be some kind of dune buggy. Young humanoid geared up the rear wheels to make it faster, but it had massive trouble turning at top speed. Also its NXT brick was not connected well. Not the greatest project, but who would expect greatness from anything other than the X series?

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.
