Call for input: where in the web exist building instructions for NXT robots?
Hi all,
Frequently I get asked where to find building instructions for NXT robots in the web (and in particular, for such that can be built with a single NXT kit).
Well, one location I know of (in addition to the two ones on the official LEGO page; NXTLOG has a huge collection of robots, but for almost none instructions are available) is my own site - yet, there certainly are other ones. But where?
Would be nice to compile a list of such pages.
If you know of stuff the likes of that, please tell us.

I still have all of the RIS model instructions that were created (w/MLCad) and gratiously donated by users of the LEGO MindStorms Robotics Invention System.
If anything...the instructions were fantastic for sharing and learning building techniques. There really does need to be a really simple collection list/site for the NXT models or also including the RIS models. One Central place....NXTlog could very well be the best "official" place to host the NXT models but not both!
BrickShelf.com users have posted a few at this point. But, in serveral different types of formats...Picture sets, LDraw/MLCad files, and other CAD program files.
I have always wanted to create this type of site. Maybe it is time. oops! Well, I'm out of time. Someone else want to have a go?

I have some "picture" instructions for DAZLR up on Brickshelf:

And NXTasy has a repository for some stuff as well (a lot of the MDP work):

Dave Astolfo has some nice stuff up as well, I *think* with some instructions (the site seems down currently):

More?

Do you have programming instructions for RasPy on your site? (I wasn't able to find any).

Having a free 3D CAD type app to design and record the build instructions would be great, and I was looking into this myself. I have an idea on how to implement code for the 3D CAD part using the new MS XNA ( 3d hardware acceleration is now built-in to XP SP2 and Vista ), but I would need a digital library of Lego XNT parts. If anyone knows if CAD files are available for all the parts, let me know.
