I had asked about them because i wanted to buy them but it is going to cost too much for me to bring them to my state. I only wanted 2 of them out of the bunch.

I’m new to the NXT community, but I’ve always been interested in robots and after playing around with NXT Mindstorms for a few years, I’ve started to build a few peripherals for the kit I think others would be interested in. I’m a chemical engineer by background, and I first came across NXT while working with Labview in Grad school a few years back. Since then, I’ve grown more and more interested in easier ways to control machinery. I’m working on a few projects to do that with NXT and think there are some great ways for ChemE’s to use the hardware and software in the lab and classroom. I started a website a few months ago to put some of the projects up I had worked on with NXT and to put up new ideas. Most of them are pretty simple so far. My first peripheral is pretty simple. I wanted to be able to control appliances around the house with NXT, just for fun. So I built what I’m calling the “dSwitch”, which allows you to turn on and off an appliance that’s plugged into it. I have a few of them built, and wanted to see if I you knew someone who would be interested in trying it out and giving me some feedback on how to improve it, and how to use it (something more creative than just turning the lights on and off or boiling water!). I would be happy to ship one to anyone interested in trying it out, or giving some feedback. Ditto for the stuff I’m working on right now. More information on the project can be found at http://dexterindustries.com/Products-dSwitch.html Thanks for your help! Best, John Cole Hello Jeff!

]]> Comment on Kyosho Japan Announces Manoi PF01 by kitkat loves u http://nxtbot.com/blog/2006/08/07/kyosho-japan-announces-manoi-pf01/comment-page-1/#comment-286332 kitkat loves u Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:57:35 +0000 http://nxtbot.com/blog/?p=126#comment-286332 Unfortunately many of the press reports got the facts swapped around a bit. The original MANOI, designed for Kyosho by Takahashi of Robo Garage, has been renamed the MANOI PF01. Originally scheduled to start shipping this summer, it ran into production problems and the release is now being quoted for November. Kyosho still hasn’t released any pricing or projected volumes for the PF01. The model pictured above is the new AT01. While it uses the same servos and controller as the PF01, it’s much lighter, faster, and designed specifically to be modified and customized by owners. The AT01 body shells are polycarbonate just like the Kyosho RC cars. AT01 shipments will start with a beta release to early customers in August followed by commercial shipments in September. The quoted Japanese list price is 147,000 yen (about USD$1,300) and the first production build is 3,000 units. hehehe funny lolz love the infomation by this person heheh na yuor kool lol :) my like smilies alot heheh call me hehe jokes Unfortunately many of the press reports got the facts swapped around a bit.
