ooth Posted June 16, 2010 Report Posted June 16, 2010 This Lego Mindstorms project is really cool. Watch the whole video to see the 3D-version. I apologize if this has already been posted. Monster Chess Quote
Yair Posted June 16, 2010 Report Posted June 16, 2010 I agree that it's very cool, although when you look at the numbers shown under the videos the picture is not quite as bright (and I can't help but feeling that it would have been cooler if the pieces controlled their movement on their own by coordinating with each other rather than being controlled from a central location).

Wire Warrior Posted June 17, 2010 Report Posted June 17, 2010 That's awesome! Not were does one get the funding to build such wonderful toys???? Jason Quote

It would be cooler if the pieces could jump each other (e.g. Knight). I would like to also see an impressive KO when a piece is taken Quote
pallen Posted June 17, 2010 Report Posted June 17, 2010 Super cool! I've been looking for some ideas for all NXT bricks we've got sitting around here. (...I'm pretty sure most of them still work) I thought about a Rube Goldburg-ish crazy coffee roaster, grinder, brewer. ( I love my java! ) But then the boss got a superdooper machine for the office. It doesn't roast.....but I'm not sure everyone would appreciate that. Considering I like a very dark roast, I think the smoke in the hall might become a problem. Maybe some kinda battle bots that are supposed to have pieces fly off etc? Lego pieces only....and no glue! See how tough you can build one. Quote
