Building instructions
Dearies,
I've started to create building instructions for the robots I've made (mainly for the reason that it's easier for me to rebuild them at need) .
First ones are the instructions for The Slug - others will follow over the next days on the different pages in the Robots section.
Just in the case anyone is interested,
Matthias Paul

I would like everyone to give it a try and save your creations before dismantle. The extra time will be well spent. I lost so many good things before any of the CAD programs came around.
PS - If anyone is interested in my HoopRover...I've rendered it with MLCad. I can send copies if emailed.

You may want to consider adding HoopRoover to the nxtasy.org repository.
I'd like to start using mclad. Is there good starting point? I'm still confused over the differences between LDView/LPub/Mclad... and would like to know the minimum installation requirements to create NXT instructions and render them in html.
thanks

I can give you a qucik starter...and maybe post something here later.
Thanks for the repository idea. I will be adding it to the LEGO MindStorms MDP profile area soon. There are some other things in the works there that will be along the same lines as well.

Please, render your NXT-Grub!

this looks like(to me) one of the more complex robots Ive seen.
although it may just be because of the gears, gears make my head hurt.
It would be very fun to build more of the robots that the MDPers have built. Ive even tryed to duplicate some of the robots only by sight.
Ive successfully duplicated Jenntwo, Vinecrawler, and the NXT crab(with awkward restults.)
Again, I would very much enjoy being able to build the other MDPers robots.
As to complexity, I would agree this is one of the more complex models out there. My first designs were simple for a reason (i.e. - testing the SW & FW, and figuring out how to build a basic mobile platform). After Brickfest, I'd really like to work on a game-playing NXTbot (Nim at first, then maybe something else).

> DAZLR is documented as a series of 40 partially redundant digital pictures (I'll probably toss them into my Brickshelf folder at some point, if folks want them).
Please toss it!
