Nice looking robot there... Does it have any power? If it does what kind?

Looks awesome. I find it really cool how some people use different mediums in which to model their designs, whether it's a prototype that has been drawn in CAD or built with Legos. I have a few Mindstorm kits in my basement that my dad bought a while ago but I've never looked at. With all these models popping up a lot more frequently now (notably Tytus's latest barrage :) ), I may have to dive into those kits this summer once finals are over. :p

barrage, ha ha funny

so are all your pnewmatic valves manupliated by motors or do you stick your hands in there and do it manually?

controlled by motors.

this was a FULLY functional model. did EVERYTHING our real one on smaller scale...actually better than the real one
oh yes, it was a 4wheel drive/ 2wheel drive just like our real robot..
im quite proud of that accomplishment :D

You people amaze me with what you do with legos. Somebody needs to force me to be more patient. I work better with something I can saw and cut to make work rather than working with legos. Maybe I'll have to put the many kits that are sitting down in the lab to use sometime for my personal use. Awesome job. How tall is the robot with the arm up?

As you should be. This is ridiculous. If only my Lego League team could do this... heck, I couldn't.

now the robot has been dismantled for some time but it was around 25 cm when the arm was down and at full height(arm raised to full) it probably reached to a bit over 50cm...maybe. this picture isnt quite at full height.
well, it was balanced pretty badly with 2rcxs at the rear(you can kinda see one of them in this picture...
and when it was raised to full and i slammed it into full forward, it kinda did a wheelie, ungracefully(it flipped backwards)... :D so, if you see the 2 "old" motors just sitting there in the front, those are counterweights(no weightlimit for lego prototypes :p ) the "new" motors you may see just behind would be of the drive train.
so...umm...yeH..kinda drifted off topic there.. well. thats why its not extended fully :D

Wait, Legos have pneumatics now? Are they legal in FLL? Where have I been?

LEGO has had pneumatics for quite some time now. they're i think in they're 3rd generation? maybe 4th or 5th generation of them.
pumps, cylinders, tanks, valves, and with a bit of customizing, regulators, flow controls, one way valves, limit switches..... whatelse am i missing...
with LEGO, ANYTHING(in my opinion) is possible to do...

Yes, Lego has evolved quite a bit from just blocks :) I remember in middle school playing with pneumatic lego cylinders in technology education, not knowing they were legos until some time later.

That's an awesome lego model. Now all you need is a 2x ball made of legos!
