Back from NI Worldclass 2012, here is the official video. Thanks to NI and all the nice people I have met there! It was great fun and an „once in a lifetime“ experience!
The robot shown in the video is a Robotino from Festo Didactic.
Don’t forget to apply for WorldClass 2013! You should not miss that!
Here is what Damien Kee wrote on [email protected]:
Great news if you have lost your installation CD or you are looking to
install NXT-G on more computers.
LEGO has just released the NXT-G 2.0 software for download for free.
A few caveats though. This is the retail version of the software so
you won’t have any of the nice graphical datalogging capabilities and
there is no ‚Robot Educator‘ so you don’t have access to all the great
tutorials. The temperature sensor blocks aren’t included but the
colour sensor blocks are. You can always download a temperature block
from Steve Hassenplug’s website
(http://www.teamhassenplug.org/NXT/NXTGAdditions.html)
But if all you are doing is standard programming, this will be fine.
I know of one teacher who is happy that they can now load a version of
the software onto their student laptops to take home (previous site
licences were a little murky on take home laptops).
The download is here as well as instructions on how to install it.

Whilst I haven’t tried it myself, I have heard of others being successful.

On the MINDSTORMS website under „news“ a new robot story is posted as it is told by Marc-André Bazergui & team about „Making a Robotic Model of a Robot“.
Infos from TheNxtStep (Author: Daniele Benedettelli):
MINDSENSORS has designed this shield that will allow Arduino to replace *ehm* to be integrated into the LEGO MINDSTORMS system.
It will have 4 NXT motor ports, 4 NXT sensor ports and several RC servo motor ports. The NXShield will attach to an Arduino Duemilanove or Uno or similar Arduino clones. (Picture shown here with a Duemilanove)
The programming for the NXShield will be on Arduino, using usual Arduino C/C++ programming environment. There will be only one I2C port, so you can use multiple sensors on the bus only if they have different addresses.
Dieses Manual zeigt wie Apps für das Google Betriebssystem Android programmiert werden können und wie diese u. a. mit
dem LEGO Mindstorms NXT verbunden werden.
Die Entwicklung der Apps erfolgt mit dem App Inventor von Google. Eine Schritt-für-Schritt Anleitung mit vielen Screen-Shots erläutert ausführlich die grafische Programmierung der Android-Apps.

Heyho,
Some of you already know about it, but now it is official. As a fan of Roberta on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/Roberta.Roboter) you are now able to download an exclusive experiment, describing a dockingstation and a NXT robot, called „Jeffrey“ that is able to find this dockingstation to recharge its battery. Just log in to Facebook, become a fan and click on „For Fans only!“.
Btw, this is the experiment i showed in Zwolle, some of you might remember.
Feel free to blog about it, give feedback and have fun with it!
br,
Sebastian
08.12.2010 – Können Roboter fühlen? Was können Roboter von der Natur lernen? Die Beantwortung dieser und noch vieler weiterer interessanter Fragen gibt das Deutsche Museum in Bonn. Während eines viertägigen Ferienangebots an dem Kinder von 9 bis 12 Jahren, Robotern in Anlehnung an Vorbildern aus der Natur selbst konstruieren und programmieren können.
Das Ferienangebot findet in in Kooperation mit dem Zoologischen Forschungsmuseum Alexander Koenig statt.
Termine:
Am 13.8.2010 berichtete das WDR 5 Radio bei Klicker (Nachrichten für Kinder) über die ersten BioBots der Roberta-Academy des Deutschen Museums in Bonn. Zusätzlich werden die akustischen Eindrücke durch Fotos auf der Internetseite von WDR 5 Klicker ergänzt.

Gemäß Konfuzius: Erkläre mir, und ich vergesse. Zeige mir, und ich erinnere. Lass es mich tun, und ich verstehe. wünscht Roberta allen Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern 4 neugierige, spannende und interessante Tage!
