You read the title correct. He's in Antarctica this time... Waaay down under at Davis Station! See the sites and read the news of his visit on LEGO MINDSTORMS' homepage. There's a bunch of interesting information about Davis Station out on the web. Maybe some of the particulars about this visit will be added in the comments.
During the last eight months, NXT fans from all over the world have have been following the progress of the two AlphaRex's, as they travel around the world as part of the 10 year celebration of LEGO MINDSTORMS.
As this year draws to a close, I like to share the following behind the scene video of AlphaRex in New Zealand - which gives you an indication of the work many friends of LEGO, MINDSTORMS Community Partners and LEGO staff put in to make the AlphaRex Global RoadTrip into a success so far.
The latest pictures of AlphaRex journey can be found on the MINDSTORMS home page. It looks like AlphaRex is going to be enjoying the scorching summer here in New Zealand over the Xmas break!
This is my last post for the year. So I like to wish all The NXT Step readers a happy and safe Xmas and new year. I hope the Santa brings you lots of plastics and NXT's for Xmas.
As many of you would remember, as part of the 10 year celebration of LEGO MINDSTORMS, two AlphaRex robots set off in April 2008 starting with the Atlanta world Festival, USA. Since them the two robots have been clocking up the frequent flyer points as they manage to travel around the world and meet really cool people and stunning places.
One of the two AlphaRex robots made it to Auckland, New Zealand this month and he just loves it here. Part 1 of his pictures just went up on the LEGO MINDSTORMS web site:
More pictures of AlphaRex coming soon to the LEGO MINDSTORMS web site .... In the mean time here is couple of pictures from the LEGO web site of the AlphaRex in Auckland city at lunch time:
Hi Folks! This may be approaching the edge of "off-topic", but it may encourage someone out there to look further into the rabbit hole. Here is the 'inspirational view' of the Space Shuttle Avionics Integration Laboratory and Test Facility. Wait for it to load, then click and have a look around (use your center mouse wheel to zoom in/out). Related to MINDSTORMS NXT? Sort of, there is a connection though...click for it here. Please, enjoy. The view will soon be moved to a better location.
