NEW - NXT Temperature Sensor

A new temperature sensor has started shipping from Active Robots in the UK!

From their website "The temperature sensor is a digital sensor powered by the NXT brick. Using the NXT brick and NXT software version 2.0, it can be calibrated to measure both Celsius and Fahrenheit (-20 °C to +120 °C/-4 °F to +248 °F)."

Which Colour?

Unfortunately my parts arrived but I had ordered the wrong colour!

I ordered Dark Grey instead of Dark Bluish Grey so had to do it all again!

The good news is I've constructed the rocker bogie part of my rover and am now slowly working on the chassis.

One part I wish lego or someone would make is a larger and well built turn table.

I really hope I have at least 70% finished by Christmas although I haven't even started on the robotic arm...
