We are always developing new robotics related technologies, and devising creative methods and solutions. Believing that there are no limits in the field of robotics, we hope that everyone including students and teachers would share the desire to innovate and tread new boundaries, and not be afraid of difficulties which may arise.

“Brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want something badly enough. They are there to keep out the other people.” – Dr Randy Pausch

Prototype robot demonstrating the use of the PSP-Nx for adding remote control capabilities to the NXT, and the NXTServo to allow the NXT to communicate with motors and servos which accept standard RC control signals, such as the Vex motors.

Omni-directional movement is not that hard after all. Here we show the NXT’s forward and side movements being controlled by the WiiMote’s tilt and roll, while rotation is controlled by the left and right arrows. Omni-directional movement is easy with wheels like this (LEGO-compatible Holonomic Wheel).

We apologise for the bad lighting while taking this video.

Most of the time we have seen people controlling one NXT with one WiiMote. Here we show that two (or any number) of NXTs can be controlled by the same WiiMote. It is also possible for more than one WiiMote to send commands to the same NXT. Accuracy seems to be of a question here, but thats because distance-limiting control was not applied.
