The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,100 times in 2011. If it were a cable car, it would take about 18 trips to carry that many people.

Lego Plane on a train!

Posted: December 28, 2011 in Misc.

For christmas, i got a lego city plane, and the first thing that i noticed about it was that you can mount it on train wheels, so took off the landing gear and replaced it with train wheels, then i built my favourite train track layout (a sock) and put the airport terminal and the other airport stuff that came with the plane around the track. Here are some pictures:

NXT Nerf gun target practise

Posted: December 20, 2011 in Misc.

Recently, I bought myself a Nerf gun, then my friend gave me another for Christmas. I shot them at stuff (as you’d expect), and soon got bored, so i began making an NXT target practise robot that would count how many times each target was hit. It turned out reasonably well, except my aim is rubbish, and the program didn’t work properly. The nerf guns i used in the video are the Vortex Praxis and the N-strike Nitefinder.

One day i was bored on the weekend, so i decided to make a marble run. At first, I wanted to make a really big marble run, but i just couldn’t be bothered to make it really big, so i just made a simple jump and some corners and stuff, but then i had an idea, i could put a filter in it! The way that i would build the filter was to have a ditch in the middle of one of the straights, that the small marbles could fall into, but the bigger ones could just run over the top and into a separate box!

Here is some pictures and the video:

The Lego Computer.

Posted: January 29, 2011 in Misc.

I built this computer with some help from my Dad. I wanted to make it because i was tired of using the family laptop to do all my computer work on.

We mounted the mother board, power supply,Hard drive,graphics card, on switch and power and CPU usage lights all in a case of lego. I also added a USB port using an extention wire at the front.

I havent got a video for it, but to prove it works, all of my blog was made on it and a huge amount of NXT programming was done on it.

10 Speed Manual Gearbox.

Posted: January 22, 2011 in Misc.

I have been looking at gerboxes lately, and decided to design my own.

It is really just a regular 5 speed gerabox, but with a splitter on the end.

The gear ratios are (from  lowest to highest):

82:1

21:1

16:1

6:1

5:1

2:1

1.75:1

1:1.25

1:2

1:5

I probably wont use this one in an actual car, because its much too big.

Here is some pictures.
