LEGO Robotics by Thomas Waadeland
| On these pages I present my different creations and projects based on the LEGO Mindstorms Robotics Invention System, which I bought in 1999. To be honest I got quite addicted, and I searched my parents house for my old LEGO Technic sets. Later I have bought some more suplies as you will se on the set list page. My first atempts to program the RCX were not very successful, thus I had to learn more about robot programming. After reading Fred Martin's "Robot Builder's Guide", I aslo found that LEGO's RCX Code was to limiting. The solution was to use Dave Baum's NQC. You will find some of my NQC programs at the proper creation pages. Even if it is quite fun to just make creations on your own, the absolute most exciting thing is to arrange and participate in LEGO robot competitions. So, for some years I was involved in FIRST LEGO League, and in 2002 I started a small business offering events and teambuilding based on LEGO robotics: Robotkompaniet. In 2006 I got my first NXT, and I am now using BrixCC and NXC for programming. Though, some projects have made me look into leJOS and other things like C# and Mindsqualls. |
