I wonder whether the local distributor would bring this in.. (5 digit set)? Confirmed LEGO Group coming out with these sets??

Anyway, for castle fans, Medieval Village 10193 is confirmed coming in around end May 2009.

The price... well, is not firm yet.

Hi all!

I've been looking around under this subforum and I would appreciate if anyone can help me here.

I need to buy, or create, or build some sort of remote control vehicle or robot that can go through the following obstacle course (see below pictures)

As you can see from the photos, i need something that can climb over metal frames (the frames are on the ground and thickness range from 1 to 2 inches or more), go through/over/around rubbish/dirt/etc.... and possibly, climb over an elevated horizontal pole (which maybe 3 to 6 inches above ground) My objective is for the vehicle/robot to go through such a course for a distance around 20 to 40 feet...and it has to carry a cable to the target area and then return......

the robot/vehicle would most likely need to have some kind of "hand" or clamp that can carry the cable... and i probably need to be able to control the "hand"/clamp as well...

Based on your experiences, what kind of advice would you give me?

LEGO Mindstorm NXT (or NXT 2.0) seems like a good choice for my particular need, but i'm not sure if it would work or not...and finding it in KL seems to be a very big challenge...sigh...

Or any of you kind sifus are part of some robotics club or something that knows where to buy the parts and build a custom robot?

I also thought of maybe getting those RC monster trucks...but then i dunno how to attach a "hand" or an "arm" or a clamp on it that i can remote control as well....

anyway, hope you guys can help me out here!

if possible, give me an estimate of the cost to buy/build such a machine as well....

Hope you guys can really help me here!

Thanks a bunch!

And here's the "obstacle course"!!! (would NXT or other machines be affected by the dirt/dust in there? i.e. would the dust/dirt jammed the machine?)

May I know if the items you are selling are new and unopened?

tswern,

notice your brickbastion.com has a mindstorm category but no items inside. you gonna stock up soon? let me know how much you're selling... and whether its NXT or NXT2.0

Thanks!

This is seriously one very BIG set Lots of clones and the ability to do a AT drop (those with the AT-TE must be thinking on how to "mod" thier babies now )

Assuming it has 1758 pieces, at 80 sen per piece (SW sets are overpriced), that adds up to a whopping RM 1400!!!

The almost RM 3k UCS SW MF is around 55 sens per piece.

Hope Brickbastion will bring in some, we need more Lego sellers here (especially the BIG sets which are wayy overpriced and hard to get here).

That 10195 will be release soon. on March

Able to carry AT-TE though no mod needed. LEGO is smart nowadays

Hi guys,

Hope you guys are interested in joining this forum.

any idea what's the current price of Lego Mindstorm?

The last I checked with the local distributor, the retail price is RM 1399.00. (Around 6 months ago).

thanks. I'm looking for used set of Lego Mindstorm. If any of u know, please msg me. Just wanna practice again, used to play with it few years ago

are you trying to install a cable or sumthin? just get a long stick?

btw, anyone selling 2nd hand lego mindstorms RIS1.0,1.5 or NXT also can? pm me? =D

hallo, any Bionicle Fan here ?

I used to buy LEGO but then after playing with the pieces....

I took it apart and will lose a part until got no more

Buy another LEGO and same thing happens.

So I stick to Bionicle

Try this:

Eric

waaaahhhh..... i wan...T_T
hm...are they new or 2nd hand?
coz i cant afford new ones. T_T
if 2nd hand can pm me the condition of the product? and where's ur location?
thanks lots ya!
i'm student, so, gimme better price ya?

ya, trying to install some cables...

but the place is quite big, long stick won't do... if it could i wouldn't have cracked my head over this...

hm...i think i have a concept of how to build the robot using lego.
but having it totally automated would be quite risky ler...scared if any parts got stuck and kenot get it out...
then the robot owner will sure cry T_T

anyway, how urgent do u need to install this cable? if not urgent u can try this website: www.vexrobotics.com
its from US de... i think its better than lego coz it uses bolts n nuts to lock the parts... and it has a remote control too...

besides that, u can search those lego forums or youtube for "all terrain vehicle" to see how they can "climb" over the obstacles. =p
