Everyone’s favorite robot from the
movie “Short Circuit” made into Lego form!
The RCX (yellow brick) controls the
movement of the arms while the touch sensors monitor motion of the
40-tooth gears to set the arms in position after they move. It
receives infrared messages from the NXT via the IR link sensor.
The NXT (white brick) controls the
drive motors and the head/laser movement while also controlling
operations on the RCX via the IR link sensor.
Occasionally, J5 will say something
from the movie, lower his laser (with a corresponding LED
illuminated), bob his head and move his arms in relation to what he
says.
He can sense distance with the
ultrasonic sensor and can hear with the sound sensor on his back.
