Beam Shooter

This was one of my favorite projects of the year, and I finally got it up to flickr.

It can shoot REALLY far, at least in the scale of LEGO. Maybe one day i'll have be automated. But as a kids project, its best left to some manual labor.

Smart Move Programming

I've been toying with finite state machines with NXT-g for a while now. This one's my latest exercise in using the myriad of functions that NXT-g has.

I've got timers counting down from 150 seconds, Logic blocks for "and" logic, sounds for debugging, loops with logic ends, tons of myblocks, opening and closing files, switches with multiple values, displaying custom images and all that good stuff.


This program is for my the Smart Move challenge in FLL. This is probably the closest I've gotten to actually finishing all of the missions, even though they weren't as hard as they've been in the last few years. (Hundreds of children could probably beg to differ that they were hard). That said, my robot, IROH will get his pictorials when he's ready. Otherwise, i've got the whole program up on Flickr.com/photos/1brick .

Biggest problem with this program? Screen flickering, I need to find a new spot for the display clearing. I'd rather my program not wait .1 of a second before it runs, even though it hasnt been a problem.
