NXT Monster Truck v.1.0
A monster truck is something I have wanted to do for a while. right now this is just a 4 wheel drive base with HUGE wheels. Later will come a new, improved base with more stability, speed, jumping, and a cool casing around it, but for now I have some videos of it with 3-ring binders for ramps(it works! really!).

NXT Excavator-part 1
Yesterday I took apart my Lego Technic excavator so I could add motors and sensors to it. I started with the scooper, since it seemed easiest at of all the parts (I could be wrong). Other parts I'll add later will include the turning mechanism, lifting the arm up and down, and possibly driving.

NXT Cyberball
This bot is based on a game called Cyberball. I played it on a Sega Genesis, but I don't know if versions were made before or after. The bot is not exactly like one in the game, but is similar in some respects. If you look, theres a light sensor beneath the claw, and it senses when it catches the ball. The video is shaky, but hopefully it won't make you sick(:

NXT Bulldozer
The project I had the most Fun with was a Bulldozer. First I made a treaded base. Then I added some other attachments. The best one was the bulldozer blade. Here
are a few short videos of what the bot can do.

Hello!
Welcome to my blog! I am Agent 97. I have been playing Legos for about as long as I can remember, and got my first NXT set in 2007. Over the Summer I got some old sensors, motors, pieces, and a second brick from old FLL stuff in our basement. One of my favorite projects is an NXT bulldozer built a long time ago. The project I'm working on now is a Monster truck with 4x4 drive and huge technic bike wheels. I hope to have a program set up soon, and then I'll post a video. Well, thanks for having the patience to read this, I'll post something soon!
