MindBird

So young humanoid saw this project and wanted to build a bipedal bird.  Unfortunately, although it could walk, the resulting "MindBird" did not lift its foot completely off the ground when stepping forward.  Also, one might notice that quite a bit of the design (notably the head and beak) is taken from the original project.

Thanks to NeXTSTORM, the original poster of the project.

Candy Machine 1

So young humanoid wanted to improve his old gum machine....and make a candy machine instead!  So, of course, he again took inspiration from NXTLog (which is the online site I'm always referring to), notably from this project.  Basically, a user would place a penny, dime or nickel in the slot.  If it was the largest coin, the nickel, it would be stopped by an internal gate and detected by a light sensor.  If it was one of the two smaller coins, it would slip under the first gate and be stopped by a second one.  Then, the light sensor could supposedly differentiate between the two (of course, that rarely worked well...).  The gates would open, the coin would fall into the self-opening vault, and the third motor would dispense a number of candies determined by the value of the coin.

Stand Up Bot II

So young humanoid saw this project, and thought that he could move the touch sensor inside the front plate.  Then he thought he could place wheels on the back.  Then he thought that he could modify the current NXT-G program, as well as the NXC one....

Thanks to NXTLog user "m1n1f1g" for the original project and letting young humanoid play around with it.

FLL Bot

This machine was for another online competition, designed around First Lego Leauge. It was horribly simple, with most of its mass made up of the motors and the NXT.

Upgraded NXBike

NXBike got an upgrade. Young humanoid added an ultrasonic sensor so it could avoid obstacles, and a better second-NXT controller so it could be remotely operated. You can find step-by-step instructions on this web page: http://mindstorms.lego.com/nxtlog/ProjectDisplay.aspx?id=aae4e4ef-566d-4647-9870-e018b0124869

Competition Robot Prototype

This was a prototype for a robot Young Humanoid made for an online competition. It took inspiration from another robot, but never was programmed.

Tank V4

This is the latest and best robot so far in Young Humanoid's tank series. It had a nice-looking tracked base with lights and a turret that could rotate unlimited. The turret could not only rotate, but move its gun up and down and fire the missile launcher on the end of it. It was controlled via a third-party interface and a PS2 controller. Its only problems were that the turret probably could have been better, the interface was covering the NXT screen, and the base could not be operated by the PS2 controller and interface while the turret was in some positions.
