@N900androidOS Don't forget Cally who is by no means boring! - http://cally.iat.sfu.ca/

now lets see the iphone do this!
@sophocha Are you kidding? There's an app for that.
But can it build other LEGO robots under its own control without human intervention?
@Shinigami Or even with human help.., that would still be awesome.
n900 is pretty crap at being a basic smartphone it has to be used as a brain for a robot... !
nokia needs improve so much
@semiloose i think you are just jealous that the n900 has more processing power than your brain. dont get me wrong, if a "phone" can be used is a robot "brain" this thing is kinda awesome isnt it?
and your stupid comment just proves what i said.
Where is N900 when you need him ?
C'mon dude ! Are you writing comments on a W7PS article ? Seriously ?
@Shravan I'm not gonna degrade myself and explain to you how much fun it was to ride on that thing...
Oh who am I kidding, weeeeeeeeeeee!
@N900 haha.
N900 is old news.
Nexus One or Maemo 6 is where it's at.
Not sure why they had to strap the N900 in place. The NXT speaks Bluetooth, after all.
@John Stracke cos its a contest held by nokia called push N900 sometimes called as free publicity.
@John Stracke So that it can take picture when it touches something on the front sensor.
Can you watch the video properly
@filjosh
"So that it can take picture when it touches something on the front sensor." -- That is good. I keep forgetting that the N900 has a better camera than my N810. (Things living in ponds have better cameras than the N810.)
"Can you watch the video properly" -- No. Most of the time when I'm online, I'm either at work (video is too absorbing, when I have to keep checking if my compile has finished), or on the train (not enough bandwidth). Even when I'm at home, I usually don't want to waste my time on watching when I could be reading.
Come on get your facts straight people that isn't Lego, that is K'nex I remember.
@trevinlovett
it's not Knex Knex never looked anything like that.
It's clearly Lego with pieces introduced from the mechicnal bassed technec series & mindstorms including the NXT 2.0 above being a spinoff of the technecs series.
Just because you had bucket from the Lego Basics 3+ doesn't mean you know everything about Lego.
Jesus I be suprised that you would realise that the Lego Duplo is another kind of Lego in itself.
This is clearly Mindstorms NXT the only thing not really clear is that it's the NXT 2.0.
@kawaiipikachu Yes, I see my mix-up. I just went into my little brothers room and SURE ENOUGH, I concede defeat.
@trevinlovett
-Feels the maturity level drop-
I never even had either of those as a kid >.>"
That's pretty cool and love that your using the N900.
