| In 1998 the international toy manufacturer LEGO created a new "lego world" called Mindstorms. Perhaps a revolution for the robotic hobbyist, the new product brought research from the MIT media lab to the open market, its new form being the RCX.
A new, Open-Source operating system for the RCX called LeGOS is definitely your best bet for a substitue when you get the hankering to tinker with the internals of that yellow box.
The unofficial LEGO Mindstorms webring is a high-quality collection of user-cum-fanatics all bringing their mindstorm oneness together. Some off-webring don't-miss projects include an award winning bipedal robot, a turtle-like robot named walter based on the 1950's work of W. Grey Walter, a synchro drive mechanism that permits zero-radius turning, and an ingenious (and patented) Tri-Star ATV design.
In the Technic world, there was already a burgeouning fanbase to develop new frontiers, but with Mindstorms a more sophisticated robotics-oriented effort begun to take shape.
Don't forget to order your spare parts (catalog scan) for those big projects! And instead of that 18-toothed thingy, get the correct name and spec for that Technic part at the The technica registry which is also swank poster-fodder. to Robotics by urog |
