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:

Re: Wow! look at this lego...
 

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!

Re: Wow! look at this lego...
 

Why? I fail to see how RoboLab would be any less capable of programming an RCX to do what has been shown than any other software package. Don't they use GameBoy or similar controllers for BotBall? I saw no such controllers on the video.

yea gooooood luck with that :p

Re: Wow! look at this lego...
 

now get it all to run off of one rcx and a lot of long wires haha!
