Wow! look at this lego...
 

Looks at the video at the below website to see a really amazing multi-RCX robot that makes mini lego cars autonomously! :ahh:

It is absolutely incredible that someone programmed that many RCX's to work together! and little cars are pretty cool too!

Re: Wow! look at this lego...
 

SWEET

Now if only he could make a lego car maker maker. (A lego machine that makes lego machines that make lego cars.):rolleyes:

Re: Wow! look at this lego...
 

Wowza!@... Using RCX kits too... Thats pretty awesome! I wonder if he participates in botball or something and what he used to program the RCXs because I highly doubt he used Robolab....

Re: Wow! look at this lego...
 

That thing is awesome! So cool!

Re: Wow! look at this lego...
 

ah i remember so many good times with my RIS 2.0 but ive moved onto vex mostly because my RCX broke :D thinking of getting NXT

but this is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Wow! look at this lego...
 

WOW!!! I can't believe that someone actually took hours (I would say at least 3 days worth) to program it to work in sync. Even with LEGOS it's very, very, impressive.

Re: Wow! look at this lego...
 

The programming wouldn't be all that difficult, at least on the part-gathering and early assembly stage. The hardest part would be aligning the IR sensors so that the RCXs could tell each other what parts are needed. It would take a while, though maybe not three days. Let's see here--1 for the carrier, 1 for the color selector, 1 for each dispenser (2 total), 1 for the first set of jaws, 1 for the assembler, 1 for the second set of jaws working with 1 for teh last set to control the whole thing...8 RCXs minimum, plus enough sensors to overload all of them. I'd say probably one of the C-> RCX programs out there.

What I want to know is where did he get so many legos and so much time???

Re: Wow! look at this lego...
 

Yeah he should contact the LEGO company and let them use it for a kit(and also make copies of the program as well) :) :) :)

Re: Wow! look at this lego...
 

a kit!?!??!!?!?!!?!?!?! that is thousands of dollars of lego, no hobbyist would buy that expensive of a kit!

Re: Wow! look at this lego...
 

That's really sweet, but why are there two threads about the same thing active right now?

Re: Wow! look at this lego...
 

Think of all the batteries they went through.....:eek:

i saw this a while ago but it still amazes me
i wish i had that many rcxs :/

Re: Wow! look at this lego...
 

I rather liked the other one that the video linked to at the end seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3vDn...lds-lego-cars/

Re: Wow! look at this lego...
 

That was amazing! I've never seen anything like that in my life.. Now im going to go make a station like this to build our FRC robot!
