MINDSTORMS NXT Camera Bot Building Challenge Winners
100’s of NXTLOGgers entered the Camera Bot Building Challenge. We saw entries ranging from NXT photo booths to automatic panoramic robotic cameras. Visit and comment on all the robots in this competition by entering the tag “nxt200802“
Here are the winners (cue cameras):
CHAMPION’S AWARD
Created by:
OPTICKS is capable of rotating an embedded camera on both a vertical and horizontal axis, making it possible to take detailed panoramic 360 photos, including a sky-view. OPTICKS can be triggered automatically (motion, sound, light) or manually (touch). This robot is equipped with three motors (A, B, C), four sensors (Light , Sound, Touch, and Ultrasonic), a single NXT brick and one digital photo camera. For an innovative concept, design, construction, and programming we award the OPTICKS the Champion’s Award. (This is NeXTSTORM’s 3rd project on NXTLOG.)
ROBOT DESIGN AWARD
Created by:
PanoBot is a panoramic camera as it can take pictures in 360º in the horizontal plane and about 60º in the vertical plane. The bot has a manual mode and an automatic mode. In manual mode you control the rotation, tilt, and the trigger. In automatic mode (depending on the variables) you can take a panorama picture with your desired horizontal and vertical degrees. GuzanPT beased the design off a robot arm bot found on the internet. Many adjustments were made to construct the automatic trigger. Congrats GuzanPT on your excellence in Robot Design. (This is GuzanPT’s 3rd NXTLOG project.)
ROBOT PERFORMANCE AWARD
Created by: Giorgis
This multifunction camera bot can take photos with a digital camera, but it can also be used to snap photos of intruders. What is most ingenious obout this robot is its program. You can select “clap control” (the robot takes photo when you clap your hands) or “timer control” (the robot waits 15 or 20 seconds before it takes the photo). But the best is the alarm mode! It has two selections: light alarm (the robot takes a photo when somebody turns on the light in your room) or the ultrasonic alarm (the robot takes a photo when somebody comes 2 meters close to it). For ingenious programming, The Photo Laboratory is presented with the Robot Performance Award. (This is Giorgis’s 12th NXTLOG project.)
CREATIVE USE OF NXTLOG AWARD
Created by:
TB0Y designed a PhotoBoothBot. A cardboard box is used for the booth, and the robot uses the Ultrasonic Sensor to detect when someone enters or leaves the booth. When someone enters, it says “Hello,” and after waiting a few seconds it says, “Push button to start.” After the touch sensor is pushed, it waits a couple seconds for the person to pose and then says “3-2-1-smile.” The button pusher arm comes down and pushes the button on the camera and the picture is taken. A total of 3 pictures are taken then it says “Please exit,” and after the person exits, it says “Thank you. Have a nice day.” Congrats TB0Y on the Creative Use of NXTLOG award! (TB0Y has 2 projects on NXTLOG.)
