I originally posted this list to the NXT Step, but I’m posting here to make it easier to find. Updates will be posted to this page on Robot Square only. This page is a list of Bluetooth Dongles that are confirmed to be compatible with the NXT. Contributions were made to NXT owners from around...

With the help from the Mindstorms Community Partners (MCP), LEGO has released several bonus models for the NXT 2.0 set. However, they are not easily found on the LEGO website. This page is a collection of pictures and links to the bonus projects. Robot Square does not host the instructions or programs. Credits (and questions)...

This shy little robot is a 6 legged Mantis that walks around and shows emotions. It’s one of the official LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT 2.0 Bonus models and it appears on the NXT 2.0 package. This page will show you how to build and program your own Manty.

Note that this was originally posted to the NXT step, but I repost it here in the tutorial section for easy reference. If you’re a programmer like me, your programs won’t work perfectly when you run them the first time. Sometimes it’s a simple mistake on the programmer’s part, but sometimes the problem is not...

LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT sets come in three different versions, which can be confusing at times. What are the differences, what do the sets have in common? How about NXT versions and NXT books? This article should answer these questions. If you don’t want to read the whole article, here’s the most important stuff — Later...

This little jumping robot jumps around on one foot with the help of a walking frame. Youtube viewers collectively suggested it reminded them of an old lady (I can’t blame them). To get a good idea of how it works, just have a look at the video, which is quite self-explanatory. If you have the...

Brick sorters are one of my favorite Mindstorms projects. Simply because they’re fun, and also because they’re more “useful” than most LEGO vehicles that just drive around. This design was made in early 2007, and I shared the building instructions later that year. This was the first time I shared building instructions with the community,...

This little dog was developed in November 2007. It walks around while wagging its tail and while looking for humans or objects in its way. You can build it if you have the NXT 1.0 set and three extra gears (details below). Building instructions and the program are available for download. This is a picture...

Last update: 10 November 2012 This tutorial will show you how to use and modify RobotC program code to create a working LEGO NXT Segway that you can customize as you like. Although you can use any type of LEGO NXT Segway with this code, I am assuming you will use the ‘Anyway’ platform. I recommend...

This is the basic Segway platform that you will use in each of the Segway tutorials. The robot is often referred to as ‘Anyway’, because you can build this robot with ‘Any’ version of Mindstorms NXT. Apart from a (any) NXT set, you will need a Gyroscopic Sensor for balance measurement: Either the HiTechnic Gyroscope,...
