Bits and Pieces

Well I've completed the first part of my Rover and its big! Alot bigger than I had planned so parts have become an issue. Thanks to bricklink I have managed to secure everything I need for the next phase.

I hope to have some pictures online at the weekend. Dont want to spoil too much though!

I have also adapted my PF Battery case so it can receive power from a solar source. Quite easy to do once you have the case open. I'll add these pictures too!

PF Battery Box and NXTServo

Philo has provided a nice hack to the PF Battery pack to power the NXTServo. Very nice hack if you want to try and keep it lego and not use the battery pack provided by Mindsensors.

Check the hack out here -

Mindsensor stuff at Active Robots

Active Robots are now selling a select range of Mindsensor products including the NXTServo, Acceleration Sensor and Pressure Sensor.

Good news as this means easier to get their products in the U.K!
