Mindboards

I mounted mine using the third servo (between the drive motors) and a worm gear turning a 24t spur gear. Turns slowly but very reliably. the spur gear is on the bottom of a vertical axle which places the US over the right front corner of the robot. It turns about 45 degrees in either direction and t...

Thanks for the input. I'm very new to this and some fairly simple solutions haven't occurred to me, so far. I have a great deal to learn.

I forgot to mention that the steering motor only rotates a total of about 90 degrees.

Maybe that's not the right term. I have built a tricycle with steering on both ends, connected to a single motor. It is driven by the front wheel. How do I consistantly return the front wheel (and therefore the back ones) to"straight?"

Is the black brick any different than the regular light gray one?

A question for Zander: What program languages will work in the new EV3? I'm new to mindstorms and the icon based programming seems pretty easy at first glance. (I've never done any programming) You guys (the pros) wouldn't be running these other programming languages if there were not some great ben...

My grandson received a new Mindstorm kit for christmas. We had a good time working on the robot together. He did all of the programming. I have never done any programming of any kind, but the tutorial I found on the net seemed pretty simple, for simple things. The more advanced stuff comes later. I ...

That was quick, is the method of doing this via bluetooth covered in the lego nxg instructions?
Thanks again, Mike

I'm very new to robots and Lego. My NXT kit will be arriving in a few days. Somewhere I read that a brick cannot control other bricks. I see pictures of robots that obviously have more than 3 servoes. I saw a picture of a large robot that seemed to have more than 3 bricks. How does this work? Thanks...
