Welcome to Gus Jansson ‘s Lego Robot home page. This is where you will find links to robots that I have built or worked on as well as other information that I find relevant.

Crate Contraption at BrickFest2007

Here is the write-up for the Crate Contraption display at BrickFest2007 in Portland. This page has a fair number of photos so it loads a bit slow. Be patient.

Standard Robot

I helped Ray Freeman on the Workshop3D RCX Challenge by designing a Lego robot that could be used as the standard platform for a code-only line tracking challenge. Go to the Workshop3D RCX site for more information.

NQC and RCXCC

John Hanson has created an excellent IDE for NQC that also supports several other languages for programming the RCX. John also maintains NQC, originally developed by Dave Baum.

LEGO Diagonals

I have created a spreadsheet that I think will be useful to many of us. It shows the lengths of possible diagonals in terms of LEGO Units. I created it because I often find myself searching by trial and error for possible diagonal arrangements for various gear combinations. The spreadsheet includes a small chart that shows the ideal distance between axles for different gear combinations. After you have that distance, you can look at the big chart and find close matches to that ideal measurement.
