    Default Lego Mindstorms

    Has anyone seen these? When the heck did lego start doing advanced robotics?? Thats awesome! Now if only they weren't so expensive...

    Here is a link to some projects that I guess people have done.

    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

    i too have the first original kit. made tonnes of fun stuf with it ill try to find some of the pics!

    Edit

    here is one of a crane i made. ironicly this was one of the "smaller" cranes i did lol.. once made one that liftet 3.5 kilo´s and could smash an apple with its "claws" lol! 6 motors and loads of gearing.







    the gear thingie you see on the first pic, does so that with 2 motors i could run 4 functions. all i had to do was to move the motor bar sideways to one of any of the 4 big wheels and use the function that one had
    the red thing in the end of the hand is a led counterweight

    I had the original kit when it came out but my youngest brother stole the parts from it for some reason or other.
