Lego Mindstorms

Posted in lego; comments: 0

I am now in the possession of my LEGO mindstorms set! I'm loving it already. Too bad I'm forced to use my Mac OS X to program the damn thing, but graphical programming environment works kinda cool. I'm thinking about porting the whole app to Linux (in Perl/GTK-2). But this is going to be a lot of work.

Yesterday I've built the walking robot ('Rex') which is way cool, but now I want to make something like a spider. Trouble there is that I will probably need two (2) servo motors per leg... and I only have three of them... I have seen solution for this in other robots. Other links for making spiders:

So...guess I will be spending some of my time playing with LEGO again :)
