MOC update!

I have been programming my MOC but I have come up against so many obstacles that I decided to work on the glitches I had in the structure, I finished fixing those yesterday, and today I should be able to get back into programming my MOC. I am hoping to have it finished around March 15-20.

The results are in!!!

The results for the poll I made for my new blog name are in! Here are the results:

• NXTGeek - 66%
• NXTExtreme - 16%
• NXT Level Robotics - 16% 

Well it looks like we have a new name NXTGeek I will change the name and the URL right away.

Here is a video I made of  "My Very First Biped" that won the "snapbot" challenge on NXTLog. 

Programming difficulties :-(

Ever since I got my parts I have been programming like crazy, but today after finishing about 40% of my program I tried it out and it wouldn't work right. Now I am going to have to go back over to see what the problem is, I think it has something to do with one of my gears slipping and not turning the right amount of degrees. Like I said before I should hopefully have it done sometime near the beginning of March.

The parts are here!!!

I have been waiting for a little more than a week now for my parts and they have finally arrived! While I was waiting I was working on a couple of glitches and improvements, Let the programming commence. I should have my MOC finished sometime in the beggining of March. Let the programming commence!

      The parts I ordered.

Poll!!!

I just added a new poll to my blog on what name you think I should change my blog too. Sorry it took so long but I have been busy, but here it is. I will announce the poll results in a week and then I will change the name.

Vote now!!!!

Multi-Cuber

Here is another creation I found on YT that Mike Dobson David Gilday made it is a multi-cuber and that is what it does, it can solve a 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, and a 5x5 all in an impressive 14 min. 7.9 sec. The program was written in C++ for both the robot and the computer.

  Mike Dobson and David Gilday where the inventors of cubestormer.



MOC update and more...

Here is the latest update on my MOC: On Saturday I made building instructions (which I knew everyone would want) and now I am just waiting for the parts to come in the mail, hopefully they come sometime this week.

 I found this photo of Daniele Benedettelli's "Cyclops" that he displayed at the World Robot Olympiad. It supposedly has voice and face recognition and interacts with humans. Hopefully he will post some more about it soon!!!  

Name idea!

Hey everyone! I just thought of a name that I could put on the poll "Xtreme NXT" how do you like it? I also had a perfect name for my blog name but was taken by somebody :-(  it was "NXT Level" I anyone can think of a blog name just comment or write to me: mindstormmaniac1.0@gmail.com.

MOC update!

Here is the latest news on my MOC: My MOC will take a little longer to finish then I thought it would, just yesterday I noticed the "Flexible technic axle joiners" were breaking and they play an important role in my MOC. So I called up LEGO, and they told me they would send me some more since mine broke. So in 7-10 days, when my parts arrive, I should be able to finish programming my MOC. Right now I think I will start to make building instructions while I am waiting.


Also if anyone has any names for my blog either comment or write, After I get five different names I will put up a poll.
