It's alright. We can spy on them. Observe their movements. Find their weaknesses. Target their flaws. Take them out. :twisted:

This could be an interesting project. I have two suggestions for how you could improve it.
1) Add sensors for input. Using the NXT buttons works, but it's not too clean. Simply connecting motors to change the values should be pretty easy to do.
2) Build a "real" heli that can tilt to match the directional movement on the NXT. It doesn't need to fly, simply tilt.

That's a good idea but I'm working on other project at the moment but when i can I'll make that and give you credit for the idea
Some projects are good others aren't,but everybody's a critic.

Yeah I could make something like that and I'll post a video too we got a new camera it's a CAISO And it can film for 2hr's.The video would probably only be 3 min's though.

What no Canon Rebel T2i? :)

Make sure it's on the highest quality possible. Once you're done filming, you can always delete the video file from your camera, so you don't need to worry about that. In the future, people who view your video might think it's not so good (*gasp* why?), so it's best to do it at the highest quality possible.

Just some advice, though you might'nt have needed it. :D

I guess you could throw your NXT in a virtual game with the tilt sensor! :lol:
