Fire Engine

Young humanoid got some new parts, some of which consisted of chain and pneumatics. He attempted to build a fire engine with some of these parts. It really did not work. Young humanoid has said he might try again some day.

NXT Ultra Pinball Machine II

This was the second "good" NXT pinball machine young humanoid made. It was really rather large, with two flippers, a rotating obstacle, two scoring places, and a ball launcher.

Trash "Compactor"

Or, the "failed attempt at making a tin-foil compactor."
Young humanoid had seen a great trash compactor on a website, and he tried to make one himself. It was a very large failure.

Rexy the NXT-Rex

Oh yes, that famous type of NXT Dinosaur...the NXT-Rex! This was an attempt at a small biped by young humanoid, and just about the worst walking failure yet! It barely could move.

X-11!

Yes, my latest ancestor! The "works," two NXT Intelligent Bricks, many motors....
The new features X-11 had were his two sound sensors, and a rotating upper body. Unfortunately young humanoid really could not get either of these features to work well (why??) and he really did not like the way X-11 looked.....but that's just one's opinion! A human's, at that!



Oh, and a picture of me riding.....

Six - Wheeled Vehicle

More internet inspiration led to this simple vehicle with two sets of powered rear wheels, and steerable front wheels.

Attempted Machine

There is not much to say here. Young humanoid saw a video of an incredible MINDSTORMS machine that assembled LEGO cars, and of course he had to try. It was a huge failure.

NXT "Drifter"

Once again young humanoid took inspiration from a website, and this time made this. It was a remote-controlled car that went fairly fast. But what made it neat was that its tires had no high-traction substance on them, so the vehicle skidded. The fast speed of the vehicle, combined with the less-grip wheels, made it possible to maneuver in some neat ways.

Gum Machine 1

Young humanoid's first NXT vending machine. Insert a coin, select a type of gum and one of two things could happen:
The gum would come out the way it was supposed to.
The gum would jam.
Not the best, but still okay.
