In honor of the 2009-2010 FIRST LEGO League Robotics Season and in time for the FLL World Festival in Atlanta, GA in April, the March-April NXTLOG challenge is to design a LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT transportation device of the future!

The first NXTLOG challenge of the decade was to design the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robotic arm of the future. Hundreds of NXTLOGgers took up the challenge. Entries included bionic arms equipped with gadgets and multi degress of freedom to suit a super hero, industrial robotic arms designed to sort a LEGO collection by color, and fun robotic arms to play games or take you for a ride.

This robot simulates a self-balancing “Segway”, with a rider standing on top. The robot balances on two wheels by itself using only the standard NXT 2.0 Color Sensor as a proximity sensor. With Bluetooth remote control, you can also make the rider lean forward and backward, which causes the Segway to drive forward and backward in response.

Come to LEGOWORLD 2010 Copenhagen and meet our fantastic robots at our booth!
