Desktop CNC cardboard router

Here is a fantastic example of how the NXT can be used as a prototyping device. You can see in the 2nd half of the video where this group has used the NXT to try different approaches to the problem. They start out with a 2 wheel mobile robot, but later decide to move to a setup with strings to pull the router around. I would hate to see a 2 wheeler with a blade getting out of control! :)



While the final product doesn't appear to have an NXT in it, it is great to see the evolution of a idea from concept through to a real product.

The device is the brainchild of DK Ahn, a designer and graduate of London's Royal College of Arts.
