New MOC!!! Coming soon!!!

I have a new MOC that I am working on. I should be done with it in the next couple of weeks (hopefully), I have it built but I still have to program it. I have managed to leak out an image of my MOC but it was modified so you can't tell what it is, Although even if I did show you an unmodified version you still probably wouldn't be able to figure it out.

   Sorry I decided not to make a teaser trailer for this project.

Website Update!!!!

I know I said I would have my website finished by Christmas but I am rethinking the name of my blog and website because I found out that someone else had a blog named "Mindstorm Maniacs". So I am working on a new name for my blog and website but for now the name will stay the same. I am going to most likely finish the website sometime this year.

                       Look forward to a contest coming sometime in the coming weeks!!!

HumvNXT

Here it is!!!!!!!!!! My latest MOC that I have been working on!!!!!! Presenting!!!!!
HumvNXT!!!!!
 I was trying to make it into a Hot-rod but instead I came out with this. It is really cool and has a neat design but it is pretty much useless because it doesn't have any sensors (I didn't have enough pieces), I made it so that it could be controlled via another NXT. It is TWD (Two wheel drive) and the gear ratio is about 1:2. The other motor is used to turn the front wheels, I got the inspiration from Laurens Valks "SPC" (Self Parking Car). It can be built with only one NXT 1.0 or 2.0 set, but you will need 1 extra 40-tooth gear.
Due to some technical difficulty's I could not add video or LDD, Sorry!!!!!!
  
Here is some more pictures of HumvNXT:
Here is the side of the Hummer.
Here is the back wheel's of the truck.
Here is the steering system.
And lastly here is the backside of the hummer.

Enjoy!!!!!
In one of my post's I said it was going to be on a friday but I was wrong.
