Manty NXT 2.0 bonus model

This is one of the robot designs that appears at the back of the NXT 2.0 box. It was published on mindstorms.com some time ago, but back then I didn't get to shoot a video of this robot. I have done so now, and here is the result:

You can find more information, pictures, building instructions and a program on my new website: http://www.laurensvalk.com. According to visitors of LEGO related events, it's a cute robot, but be sure to let us know how you like it when you build this animal.

Manty, third bonus model NXT 2.0 (8547)



Proudly we announce the third bonus model for the NXT2.0 box. Laurens Valk (blogger at this blog) and creator of various interesting walking models has designed a praying mantis “Manty”. This model shows up next to Morph on the back cover of the box.

The model has a touch sensor to automatically synchronize its legs and an ultrasonic sensor to detect your hands, so it can avoid you.

Enjoy building
