Things are quiet...

By
Well, with the MDP program over, we're back to limited sources of information. Things are slow right now with the LEGO Education blog, but I imagine that they're fairly busy with the upcoming release of the product. The official Mindstorms website has had some nice updates lately, and I continue to watch it for any new items, but my guess is that they're also working like crazy in preparation for the product release.

My hands are tied until tomorrow, but please check back on Thursday for a link that I think you'll all really enjoy. I was asked not to reveal anything until tomorrow, but I can tell you that some people have been working on a great website that I'm anxious to share with you...

Brian, Matthias, and I are in negotiations to start back on our Jousting project. I'm hesitant to move forward too fast, though, as something is in the works on the official website that may lend itself to the Jousting project's completion.

I've just completed the 3rd (of 5) bots for my book and have crossed the halfway point... the book's completion is in sight. I'm enjoying writing it, and a few test readers (age 10-14) have provided some nice feedback and like the format. I can breathe a little better...

I'm preparing to test the NXT software on Vista... I've managed to get beta 2 and a new PC (by the way, Windows Vista requires a HUGE amount of memory and hard drive space - you've been warned). More on that as I have time to test...

All in all, I'm still having fun with my NXT system... I apologize for not posting any more designs, but most of my work is for the book and I can't post info on them yet. I may try and play around this weekend with something new, just for the blog.

Celebrating MINDSTORMS with a Remix - Part 3

By Asha Seshan - ROBOTMAK3R
The ROBOTMAK3RS continued their celebration of the 25th Anniversary of MINDSTORMS through these Fall and Winter remix projects. Each ROBOTMAK3R was tasked with selecting one LEGO set of their choice and combining it with a MINDSTORMS set. Below are the five amazing models they came up with. Braill3 by Jerry Nicholls Braill3 is an EV3-based LEGO Braille bricks reader. This robot uses its fingertip, made from three touch switches, to read messages written using the LEGO Braille bricks and will speak out what it detected. If it sees a simple maths problem it will attempt to solve it and give the answer as well. To learn more about the process of creating this machine, read Jerry's blog . Braill3 can be viewed here . Set Review: The Braille Bricks set is well thought out. The ratios of the letters is suitable for general use and the addition of some punctuation and arithmetic operators is excellent. There is a card showing what bricks there are and their quantities, but no form of sort...

Celebrating MINDSTORMS with a Remix - Part 2

By Asha Seshan - ROBOTMAK3R
The ROBOTMAK3RS continued their celebration of the 25th Anniversary of MINDSTORMS through these summer and fall remix projects. Each ROBOTMAK3R was tasked with selecting one LEGO set of their choice and combining it with a MINDSTORMS set. Below are the five amazing models they came up with. Remote controlled material handle r by Jozua van Ravenhorst (aka Mr Jo) This remix combines the LEGO Technic Material Handler (42144) with MINDSTORMS EV3 (31313) It uses the power of pneumatic cylinders to move objects around. By using a bluetooth remote control, very precise movements can be made with this model. Touch sensors in the base chassis prevent the turret twisting the cables that go through the turntable to much. The program has several protections to prevent over pressurizing the system for each of the 3 individual pumps and valves that control the 2 booms and claws. The real version of this machine is mostly used in waste material sites to bring the material to machines that sort and...

Celebrating 25 Years of MINDSTORMS

By Asha Seshan - ROBOTMAK3R
In celebration of the 25th Anniversary of MINDSTORMS, we take a trip through history. Please also visit ROBOTMAK3RS Community every week as we highlight different projects all through 2023 in celebration of the anniversary. Some of the early history is based on the content shared by  Coder Shah  in our  MINDSTORMS EV3 Community Group . Some of the text and links may have been edited from his original posts for consistency and clarity.  1984 - Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen watched a TV program called "Talking Turtle," where MIT professor Seymour Papert demonstrated how children could control robot "turtles" using LOGO, a programming language he developed. 1988 - The collaboration between MIT and LEGO resulted in LEGO TC Logo in 1988, which allowed students to control LEGO models using computer commands. The video shows Papert demonstrating TC Logo. 1990 - LEGO TC Logo was hampered since the robots you built had to be tethered to a personal computer. LEGO and MIT...
