The School "Helper" Turret

Sometime around the prototype stage, young humanoid made a turret that was supposed to help you in school. He made it for a challenge posted on that one website I had stated before (http://www.mindstorms.com/) The turret could dispense pencils, (not) rotate and raise a hand. The main problem with this

bot is that it could not rotate clockwise.

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.
